  • Wi-Fi Direct (P2P) Support: Connect your phone to the headunit without a shared network or hotspot. The headunit now automatically becomes visible as a P2P peer.

  • New Feature: Added Auto-Optimization Wizard to automatically find the best Resolution, DPI, and Codec settings for your hardware.
  • Bugfix: Fixed Self Mode failing to start in offline/hotspot scenarios (Network ID 0 fix).
  • Bugfix: Improved Audio Routing. The phone is now more likely to route audio to the headunit immediately upon connection by using an early-initialized MediaSession with remote playback metadata.

  • UI: Improved Settings readability on small screens by allowing multi-line descriptions.
