This is a bug, and listed on the Android bug tracker. UPDATE_DEVICE_STATS: An (erroneously) required permission that some devices need in order to be able to change WiFi. READ_PHONE_STATE: Necessary for Speakerphone functionality.īLUETOOTH / BLUETOOTH_ADMIN: Bluetooth functionality, including toggling.ĪCCESS_WIFI_STATE/CHANGE_WIFI_STATE: Adjusting WiFi. RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows Car Kit to start when you power on your device. Displaying battery charge (or loss) statistics Switching to Car Home UI and back automatically SMS messages displayed in a large window when received When the Disengage criteria are met (for example, unplugging the device from power), all of the actions taken by Car Kit are undone, returning your device to it's prior state.Īdditionally, Car Kit includes a Widget that allows you to Engage or Disengage it's settings at will. These actions occur automatically when the inputs are met, so the user doesn't need to perform these actions on their device manually. The Car Kit was designed to remedy this problem for users with devices that do not have a true "Car Dock." Additionally, the Car Kit can expand upon the docking functionality that users with a true Car Dock already have.Ĭar Kit allows users to select input criteria to designate they're in the vehicle (for example, connecting their device to a power source, connecting a headset, and bluetooth connects to a device, like a headunit.) Upon doing so, Car Home can be displayed automatically, WiFi toggled off, and Music is launched automatically. Most Android devices do not have a true "Car Dock", a cradle that their device can be seated in which can (depending on model) provide power, route audio, and instruct the Android device to display a "Car UI", with larger icons and text appropriate for vehicle use.
