Product Positioning & Context

AI Executive Synthesis
Enhanced multitasking and integration with Android head unit launchers
This feature request identifies a significant gap in DiPlay's integration with older Android head unit ecosystems, specifically the lack of `Picture-in-Picture` (PiP) and `floating window features`. Users of older vehicle models rely on `third-party launchers` for `quick vehicle controls`, and the absence of PiP prevents seamless multitasking between CarPlay and native car functions. This limitation forces users to choose between full-screen CarPlay and access to essential vehicle controls, degrading the overall in-car experience. Implementing PiP would enable CarPlay to function as an overlay, allowing simultaneous access to other Android applications or car system interfaces. This feature is crucial for enhancing usability and market competitiveness, particularly for users with less integrated infotainment systems, and represents an opportunity to differentiate by offering a more flexible and integrated user experience.

0.2.7 also has this problem: Wi-Fi Direct connection keeps looping/reconnecting wirelessly and cannot enter the interface.

### Bug: Wireless CarPlay Wi-Fi P2P Initialization Failure

I have encountered the **same Wi-Fi P2P compatibility issue** on a BYD Song Plus vehicle with the 17 Controller configuration.

The issue occurs during the wireless CarPlay connection process. The application fails when initializing the Wi-Fi P2P connection and reports the following error:

No virtual method getNetworkName()Ljava/lang/String;
in class Landroid/net/wifi/p2p/WifiP2pConfig;
or its super classes

The failure occurs during:

```text
STEP wifi/ap: starting the wireless CarPlay access point
↓
wireless bring-up
↓
Wi-Fi P2P preflight
↓
WifiP2pConfig.getNetworkName()
↓
NoSuchMethodError
↓
wireless bring-up failed

This appears to be the **same Android framework API compatibility issue** seen on other BYD head units.

The vehicle information is:

- Vehicle: BYD Song Plus
- Controller: 17 Controller
- Connection:** Wireless CarPlay
- Issue:** Wi-Fi P2P initialization failure
- Error:** `WifiP2pConfig.getNetworkName()` m...

@wdubaiyu @jadrian77 @k3599 please reproduce the issue and attach the logs so I can investigate

Using an iPhone 13 Pro running OS 17.7.2, the same issue was also encountered on a Dlink 4.0 (9.0), a vivo 2405A (15), and a Redmi K50 (12). By the way, I was using the car head unit's hotspot.
jadrian77 • Sep 29, 2026
same
the car's infotainment system uses Android 9,
while the iPhone 12 Pro Max uses iOS 17.5.1.
This issue has been observed in both versions 0.2.0 and 0.2.6, and occurs whether the connection is made directly via Wi-Fi or using a hotspot.
hope someone can help identify the problem.
