Welcome to the Console, Inc Wiki
Welcome to the Wiki for Console, Inc! Located here is an information repository for all of our products, both production and experimental.
For additional support for all Console products, the Console Forums are open and staffed with Console teammates, as well as the entire community, to get your questions answered as fast as possible.
OpenHU Project (New!)
The OpenHU Project is our new effort to continue the open-source Android Auto Head Unit application, originally developed by the late Mike Reid.
In a nutshell, the OpenHU app will allow you to take most modern Android tablets, and use them as an Android Auto receiver for your car. It is fully open-source, and we're taking over leadership of the project, in order to keep a great app going.
This is a new expansion of the Wiki. Pardon the dust while we finish it!
