I use Android Auto all the time , so I can use the TomTom speed camera warning app .

Ok I might try it then. Is the TomTom speed camera app any good?

How do you get the tom to speed camera warning app to work in Android auto as it is not one of the approved apps.

you have to root a spare phone with a company called one click root .
the spare phone then gets left in the car hidden away , always connected to the headunit .

its best to use a google pixel 1 with android 8 oreo . , as 9 or 10 is very unstable .
other phones will work , but are harder to root , but google pixels are the easiest to root .

you need two phones to do this .
a rooted phone to keep connected to the car with any android app from the play store .
and your main phone with hotspot enabled , so the rooted phone always has wifi connection .

I always have a Vauxhall logo and tomtom live speed camera app showing whilst driving .
you can still listen to radio stations as normal or amazon music , spotyfi or deezer whilst on this screen .

you can use sygic or camsam or radarbot or any android speed camera app that is in the play store .

basicly it mirrors your android phone to your car screen , and your cars touch screen controls the android phone that's hidden away .

by law you can only use music apps or non video apps whilst driving .

when stationary with the handbrake on , you can watch youtube or itv hub or tv player or any tv or video app from the play store .

any app that's in the playstore , you can download , but as I said , tv or video apps can not be used whilst driving , just radio or non video apps .
whatever is on your phone will be seen on your car screen , everything .

you can even use google assistant voice control to turn on your apps or find a video on youtube that automatically plays .

its very complicated to set up first time , its trail and error to get the set up you like , but once setup it becomes easer to understand .
you can get more info from ( XDA Developers ) online . or online searchs called ( AA Mirror ) or ( AA Mirror Plus )

please do plenty of research before attempting to do any of these things ive mentioned ( watching tv or video apps whilst driving is against the law and dangerous ) only music or non video apps can be used whilst driving .

I am checking every few days aswell for the firmware . The map updates are still there for me but they don't work when I try to install them from the Peugeot website.

Right, I’ve tried a few usb flash drives, all formatted to FAT32, copied all the relevant software (SWL & license) to the usb drive including the folder named ‘license’ all in lower case and still getting the error message ‘version not compatible with hardware. My system version: 21.07.16.32_NAC-r0. Dated - 2018-04-18. Mapping version: 4.0.2-r0 dated: 2017-01-20.
I’ve contacted Vauxhall and they say that they don’t do software/firmware updates.

Any ideas on what to try next ?
