1. Getting Started
NEXGIA DRIVE is a dedicated launcher app for installation on an AIBOX (Android device for in-car use). This chapter covers supported devices, installation steps, and the setup needed the first time you launch the app.
1.1 Supported Devices
NEXGIA DRIVE is an app made exclusively for AIBOX (an in-car Android device running Android 13 or 15). It will not work correctly if installed on a regular commercially available smartphone or tablet.
- It only supports AIBOX units in which the manufacturer has built in special (system) privileges.
- On Android 16 devices, please use the dedicated A16 Edition instead (see 1.2).
1.2 Installation
- Download the latest APK file from the link below.
Latest version download: NEXGIA DRIVE latest APK (Google Drive) - Transfer the downloaded APK file to the AIBOX unit, then open the file to install it.
- Launch the app once installation is complete.
Once installed, later version updates are applied automatically (see 2.7 Checking for Updates for how to check manually).
Note: If you're installing on a device that already has another launcher app installed, watch out for conflicts at startup. In particular, if the other launcher is set to launch automatically, its display may conflict with NEXGIA DRIVE. If switching between them doesn't work well, see "5. Troubleshooting."
For Android 16 (A16 Edition)
Because the regular version cannot be installed on an Android 16 AIBOX, we've prepared an "A16 Edition" for Android 16. It has the same features as the regular version, and automatic updates are supported as well.
- Download the A16 Edition APK file from the link below.
A16 Edition download: NEXGIA DRIVE A16 Edition APK (Google Drive) - Transfer the downloaded APK file to the AIBOX unit, then open the file to install it.
- Later version updates are applied automatically from then on.
Things to note:
- If you're using another launcher app, uninstall it first before installing the A16 Edition. Installing over it without uninstalling may make that launcher app unusable.
- Dual-screen display requires firmware support on the AIBOX unit itself. There are cases where a firmware update enabled it; on units that don't support it, only single-screen display is available.
Do not install the A16 Edition on a device that already has the regular version installed (Android 13 / 15).
1.3 First-Time Setup
Because NEXGIA DRIVE runs with system privileges, most permissions are automatically granted all at once during installation. Normally, you don't need to manually grant permissions yourself.
Items granted automatically:
- Accessibility (needed for the on-screen "Back" action)
- Notifications
- Location (GPS)
- Bluetooth
- Calendar
- Display over other apps (overlay display)
First Launch Flow
The first time you launch the app after installing it, the following screens appear in order.
- On the language selection screen, choose the language you want to use and tap "Next / Continue" (you can change this later in Settings).
- Review "Before You Use This App" and tap "Agree and Continue."
- On the "Welcome" screen, review the list of permissions the app uses, then tap "Get Started."
- On the "Access Permissions" screen, tap "Allow All" (you can also grant permissions individually, or postpone them with "Set up later"). On devices where permissions are auto-granted via system privileges, every item on this screen already shows as "Granted" from the start.
Once "Access Permissions" is finished, the home screen appears and you can start using the app right away.




Note: You can check and re-grant permission status at any time from Settings → Permissions (four items: Overlay / Accessibility / Notifications / Other Permissions).
1.4 Setting the Default Launcher
If you want NEXGIA DRIVE to launch automatically every time, set it as the "default home app (launcher)" using Android's standard OS feature.
Go to Settings → Display → Layout → Home App, then open the OS's standard home app selection dialog and choose it there.
Note: There have been rare reports of devices restarting repeatedly when NEXGIA DRIVE is set as the "default app at startup" and used together with certain hardware, such as multi-touch-capable levers. After changing the default launcher, we recommend waiting a while before enabling other settings (such as multi-touch). If anything goes wrong, revert the default launcher setting.
2. Basic Operations
This chapter covers the operations you'll use every day on the NEXGIA DRIVE home screen (the sidebar, display modes, widgets, DRIVE LOG, the music widget, and checking for updates).
2.1 Using the Sidebar
A persistent vertical bar (the sidebar) is shown at the edge of the home screen. The role of each sidebar button is as follows.
| Icon | Button | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Switch to Full Screen mode | Re-select the app to display | |
| Change App (Left/Right) | Re-select the app to display on each screen | |
| Swap Left/Right | Swaps the left and right apps while in Dual mode | |
| Page 1 / Page 2 | Switches between two independent screen layouts (app placement and widget placement) | |
| Screen Settings | Opens/closes the panel for switching display mode and adding widgets | |
| Ratio Adjustment (arrows) | Changes the split ratio for Dual/Half display | |
| Back | Returns to the previous screen | |
| Settings (gear) | Opens the settings screen |

Note: If the sidebar width is set to "Small," the three buttons "Change App," "Ratio Adjustment," and "Page" are combined into one; tapping it shows a selection menu (it closes automatically after 5 seconds of inactivity, or once you make a choice).

Operating the Sidebar with a Controller or Steering Wheel
If you assign "Sidebar Next," "Sidebar Previous," and "Sidebar Select" at Settings → Controller → Short Press, you can select and press sidebar buttons using a steering wheel or controller. "Next"/"Previous" moves a thin gold focus frame between buttons, and "Select" presses the focused button. The focus frame disappears after a period of inactivity. If the sidebar is hidden, the first press only reveals it and doesn't move the focus yet. See 3.4.1 Short Press for details.
Mini Sidebar (When the Sidebar Isn't Always Shown)
Turning off Settings → Display → Sidebar → Sidebar Always Visible hides the persistent sidebar. In this case, tapping the screen brings up a temporary panel equivalent to the sidebar (the mini sidebar), which disappears automatically after the time you set (Mini Sidebar Auto-Hide: 5 / 7 / 10 seconds).

The Sidebar on the Settings Screen
On the settings screen, the persistent sidebar shows only a "Back" button (the gear button just shows your current location and doesn't respond to taps). In portrait orientation, on smaller screen sizes, and in the simplified settings (non-Japanese UI), you can open an overlay menu with the following four actions from the menu button in the top right.
| Action | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Return to Car | Attempts to switch to the car manufacturer's native screen |
| AIBOX Settings | Opens the AIBOX unit's own settings app |
| Android Settings | Opens the standard Android settings app |
| Home | Returns to the NEXGIA DRIVE home screen |

2.2 Switching Display Mode and Pages
In NEXGIA DRIVE, you can choose how apps are arranged on screen as a "display mode."
- Full Screen: Displays one app in full screen.
- Dual: Displays two apps side by side (left/right, or top/bottom).
- Half: Splits the screen so that one side shows an app and the other side holds widgets (music, map, and so on).
You switch the display mode from the panel opened by the sidebar's "Screen Settings" button. Whether Dual/Half splits the screen left-right or top-bottom is chosen at Settings → Display → Layout → Split Orientation (default: side by side).


Triple Screen Mode
Turning on Use triple screen mode at Settings → Display → Triple Screen Mode shows a wine-red handle in the same row as the DRIVE LOG handle. Pulling this handle out shows one app in full screen (usable as a third screen).
- The first time you pull it out, you choose which app to show.
- While it is shown, the button at the top of the sidebar switches between apps, with a close button below it.
- Closing it does not quit the app.
- It can't be closed with the Back key — pull the handle to the opposite side, or use the close button.
- If you have assigned "Next Page" to a key, the third screen opens after Page ②. Pressing the key again while the third screen is shown closes it and returns to Page ①. See 3.4.1 Short Press for details.
- See 3.1.1 Layout and 3.1.7 Theme for the handle's position and color.

Switching Between Page ① and ②
The sidebar's "Page 1" and "Page 2" buttons let you switch between two independent screen layouts. Each page remembers its own combination of displayed apps and widget placement separately.
Adjusting the Split Ratio
Pressing the sidebar's ratio adjustment buttons (arrows) changes the left/right (or top/bottom) split ratio for Dual/Half display. The amount changed per tap can be adjusted at Settings → Display → Layout → Split Ratio Step (3% / 5% / 10%, default 5%).
2.3 Adding, Moving, and Removing Widgets
From the "+ Add" button in the sidebar's "Screen Settings" panel, you can add widgets (Music / Tire Pressure / Calendar / Meter) to the screen. Widgets that have already been added show "✓ Added."
The widget picker has an "Apps" tab and a "NEXGIA" tab (the NEXGIA tab currently shows "Coming soon," and there are still hardly any widgets to choose from there).

Once placed, a widget on screen supports the following actions.
- Drag it to move it
- Pinch its frame to resize it
- Delete it
Widgets can be placed independently on "Page 1" and "Page 2."
NEXGIA DRIVE's Widgets
These are the standard NEXGIA DRIVE widgets you can add from "+ Add."





2.4 Shortcut Bar
Turning on Settings → Display → Layout → App Shortcut Bar (off by default) shows a white handle at the bottom of the app screen. Tapping this handle, or swiping up on it, opens a shortcut bar of your frequently used apps.
The number of slots you can register can be changed at Settings → Display → Layout → Shortcut Bar Slot Count (1–15, default 5). Reducing the number of slots does not remove apps you've already registered.
The white handle that opens the shortcut bar can be placed at the bottom edge or the top edge of the app screen at Settings → Display → Layout → Shortcut Handle Position (Bottom / Top, default: Bottom). With "Top," the white handle appears at the top edge of each app screen, and the shortcut bar also opens at the top. The top handle opens the bar when you tap it (swiping does not open it). The app screen becomes slightly smaller by the margin used for the handle. Use this if the lower edge of your car's screen juts out toward you and the bottom edge is hard to press.
Besides regular apps, the shortcut bar also supports two special entries:
- App Pair: Choose one app for the left screen and one for the right when you register it, then launch both at once in Dual mode with a single tap.
- Talk to ChatGPT: Opens ChatGPT's voice conversation mode right away as an overlay (requires the ChatGPT app). Closing it ends the conversation.

- Press and hold an icon, then drag it left or right to change the order.
- If you press and hold an icon and release it without moving it, an × appears at its top right, and tapping the × clears that slot.
- A cleared slot goes back to being a "+" slot, and tapping the "+" lets you register a different app.
2.5 Using DRIVE LOG (Drive Recording)
DRIVE LOG is a feature that automatically records your driving from the moment you turn the engine on until you turn it off. It is off by default (opt-in); to use it, turn on Settings → Display → Layout → Drive Log.
- The handle for opening your records appears as a gold sliding handle at the screen edge opposite the sidebar (the Drive Log Handle setting is on by default; even with it off, you can still open DRIVE LOG from the app list or the shortcut bar).
- Pulling out the handle shows the list of drive records.

Tapping a record opens its detail screen, where you can edit its memo, mark it as saved (excluding it from automatic deletion), delete it, or copy it.
Note: Records older than 3 months are automatically deleted (records marked as saved are not deleted). Note: Setting Minimum Trip Distance and Minimum Trip Duration (both off by default) lets you avoid recording trips that are too short.
Driving Route Map
- Scrolling down on the DRIVE LOG detail screen shows the route you drove on a map under "Driving Route".
- Tapping the map or pressing the "Enlarge" button shows it in full screen; press "Close" to go back.
- An internet connection is required the first time a map is displayed. A map that has been displayed once is shown without a connection from then on.
- A record with few recorded positions shows "No route recorded" instead.

Note: The map uses data from OpenFreeMap / OpenMapTiles / OpenStreetMap.
2.6 The Music Widget and Overlay
Tapping the album art on the music widget shows the music app's screen as an overlay. You can choose which side it appears on (left/right) at Settings → Widgets → Music → Music Widget Side (default: right).

Auto-Resume Settings
- At Settings → Widgets → Music → Preferred Music App, choose the main music app the widget controls (you can't set the next item until this one is set).
- Turn on Auto-Resume Music (off by default).
- Auto-Resume Time Limit (1 / 6 / 12 / 24 / 48 hours, default 24 hours) determines the window within which restarting the engine will trigger auto-resume.
With Auto-Resume Music turned on, restarting the engine automatically resumes music if it's within the time limit you set since playback last stopped. However, if you manually stop the music and then turn off the engine, the music will not resume automatically the next time you start the engine (it stays stopped).
※ Amazon Music cannot auto-resume if the app itself is not holding the previous playback information (song and position). Since an Amazon Music update in early September 2026, some environments have seen the previous song fail to be restored after launch. In this case, please select and play the song from the Amazon Music screen. Spotify / YouTube Music are not affected.
2.7 Checking for Updates
NEXGIA DRIVE normally updates itself automatically whenever a new version is released. If you want to check manually, go to Settings → About → Version and tap the Check for Updates button. If a new version is available, a dialog appears, letting you proceed to confirm the download and installation.
You can check the currently installed version number on the same Version screen.
3. Settings Reference
This chapter explains every item on the settings screens, screen by screen. Display names and descriptions are shown exactly as they appear in the app.
Note: The settings screen in languages other than Japanese is a simplified, list-based layout — different from the Japanese settings screen. Some items available in Japanese are not yet available here; this chapter documents only what is actually on the non-Japanese screen.

Settings → Controller
In NEXGIA DRIVE, any device that sends button input to the AIBOX can have an action assigned to each of its buttons, regardless of the device type. This mainly includes devices such as:
- A Bluetooth-connected game controller
- A Bluetooth volume controller (a remote with media buttons)
- Switches on the car's steering wheel
Switches on the car's steering wheel can be assigned from exactly the same "Short Press" screen as a Bluetooth controller. By assigning NEXGIA DRIVE actions (back, volume, track skip, split ratio adjustment, and more) to the steering wheel's forward/back/play-pause buttons and so on, you can consolidate driving-time operations onto the steering wheel even in vehicles without a dedicated remote. This is one of NEXGIA DRIVE's signature features.
Use the submenu on the right to select the "Short Press" or "Long Press" panel.

Note: After pressing "Detect Key," pressing a physical button assigns that action to the button. An already-assigned row can be unassigned with the "Clear" button. Reassigning a different action to the same button automatically removes the previous assignment. Note: There are 19 assignable actions: Not Assigned / Volume Up / Volume Down / Next Track / Previous Track / Back / Home / Scroll Up / Scroll Down / Enter / Play/Pause / Zoom In / Zoom Out / Split Ratio Left / Split Ratio Right / Sidebar Next / Sidebar Previous / Sidebar Select / Next Page. Note: "Sidebar Next," "Sidebar Previous," and "Sidebar Select" let you select and press sidebar buttons using this key assignment (Next/Previous moves a thin gold focus frame between buttons, and Select presses the focused button). See 2.1 Using the Sidebar for details. Note: "Next Page" switches pages in the order Page ① → Page ② → Page ① each time it is pressed (this is the same whether it is assigned to the Home key or to another button). If you are using triple screen mode, the third screen opens after Page ②, and pressing the key again closes the third screen and returns to Page ① (Page ① → Page ② → third screen → Page ①). "Using triple screen mode" means that Use triple screen mode is on at Settings → Display → Triple Screen Mode and an app has been chosen for the third screen. Note: If pressing a steering wheel button is fully handled by the vehicle itself (the head unit) and never reaches the AIBOX as button input (as with some vehicles' voice-assistant-only buttons), "Detect Key" won't detect it and it can't be assigned. Note: "Steering Key Compatibility Mode" is a compatibility setting for certain models where NEXGIA DRIVE force-closes when a steering wheel button is pressed. Normally you can leave it off.
Home Key
- In the key assignment list, "Home Key" lets you choose the action that runs when you press the vehicle's Home key (for example, with "Next Page," each press switches the pages in turn).
- If another app or a voice assistant is covering the screen, pressing the Home key first brings NEXGIA DRIVE back to the front, and the action takes effect from the next press.
- The Home key action also works after you have operated an app in Dual mode.
3.4.2 Long Press
Settings → Controller → Long Press

Once you set any one button as the "Long Press Trigger Button," you can create a second set of mappings that only activate while that button is held down together with another button. Because the same physical button can be assigned different actions for "pressed alone" (the mapping in 3.4.1) and "pressed while holding the long-press trigger button" (the mapping on this page), even a controller or steering wheel switch with few buttons can be assigned a large number of operations.

Note: "Sidebar Next," "Sidebar Previous," and "Sidebar Select" let you select and press sidebar buttons using this key assignment (Next/Previous moves a thin gold focus frame between buttons, and Select presses the focused button). See 2.1 Using the Sidebar for details. Note: This screen does not have a "Steering Key Compatibility Mode" option.
3.5 Backup
Settings → Backup

3.5.1 Automatic Backup
Every time you launch NEXGIA DRIVE, it automatically backs up your settings inside the AIBOX unit itself. If nothing has changed since the last backup, it skips creating a redundant one. Up to 5 generations of backups are kept, from newest to oldest; once that limit is exceeded, the oldest one is deleted automatically. This automatic backup happens entirely within the AIBOX unit and is never sent anywhere external, such as Google Drive.
If NEXGIA DRIVE's first-time setup screen appears while an automatic backup still exists (for example, right after you delete and reinstall the app), a prompt like the following appears automatically:
- Title: "Backup found"
- Body: "A local backup from (date and time) was found. Restore these settings?"
- Pressing "Restore" restores your settings from that backup and restarts the app.
- Pressing "Skip" dismisses this prompt and proceeds to normal setup (language selection, etc.) without restoring.

Note: This automatic backup and restore prompt only covers files stored on that same AIBOX unit. If you switch to a different AIBOX model, it is not carried over automatically — use the method in the next section, "3.5.2 Manual Backup and Restore," to save it to Google Drive or similar, and then load it on the new AIBOX.
3.5.2 Manual Backup and Restore
| Item | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Back up settings (save to Google Drive) | Saves your current settings and DRIVE LOG records to the location you choose (such as Google Drive) | Button |
| Restore settings (load from file) | Loads a saved backup file to restore your settings | Button → file picker → confirmation dialog → restore + restart |
| Backup History | "Last backup: yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm" or the file name, or "No backup yet" if none has been made | Status display |
| Delete All DRIVE LOG Records | Deletes all drive records, including saved ones. This action cannot be undone | Button → confirmation dialog → delete (irreversible) |
Note: The backup is a ZIP file (containing settings + finalized DRIVE LOG records). Restoring uses an "overwrite merge": only the items included in the backup are overwritten, and settings not included in it are left as they are.
Note: Pressing "Back up settings" creates a backup file and opens a save-location dialog. Choose where to save, such as Google Drive or the device storage, and tap Save. A copy of the backup file is also kept in the device's Download folder. Saving it to Google Drive or similar means that even if you switch to a different AIBOX model, you can carry over your settings and DRIVE LOG records by selecting that file from "Restore settings (load from file)" on the new AIBOX.
Note: The following items are not covered by backup/restore. If you switch to a different AIBOX model, set each of these up again on the new AIBOX.
- The API key used for navigation traffic/speed camera notifications
- Steering Key Compatibility Mode (since it's a setting tailored to compatibility with a specific model)
- Widgets from other apps added to the screen (since their registration differs per AIBOX, re-add them on the new AIBOX)
Note: Permissions such as Accessibility are granted to the AIBOX unit's OS itself, and are not covered by backup/restore. Grant them again during first-time setup on a new AIBOX.

4. Recommended Initial Settings
Once you start using NEXGIA DRIVE, we recommend checking and adjusting the settings below first. Any item not listed here can be left at its default value.
Open the settings screen via Settings (the gear icon on the sidebar, the shortcut bar, etc.) → each category, in that order.
4.1 AIBOX Running Android 13
| Setting | Path | Recommended Value | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Set the music app + turn on Auto-Resume Music | Settings → Widgets → Music → ① Choose your music app under "Preferred Music App" ② Turn on "Auto-Resume Music" | Set the music app first, then turn on Auto-Resume Music (off by default) | You can't operate the "Auto-Resume Music" toggle at all until a music app is set. Set the app first, then turn it on |
| Set the nav app | Settings → Navigation → Nav App → "Select the Nav App to Protect" | Set the nav app you normally use | Setting this means that app alone won't be killed at shutdown, and NEXGIA DRIVE will try to preserve its route (whether the route is actually restored depends on that app's own behavior) |
| Sidebar position | Settings → Display → Sidebar → "Sidebar Position" | The side closer to the driver's seat (right for right-hand-drive cars, left for left-hand-drive cars) | Placing it on the driver's side makes it easier to operate while driving (right is the default) |
| Steering Key Compatibility Mode | Settings → Controller → Short Press → "Steering Key Compatibility Mode" | Leave it off (default) in principle. Only turn it on for devices where pressing steering wheel buttons force-closes the launcher | Turning it on can make text input unstable in some apps (improved in recent versions), so leave it off on devices that don't show this symptom |
| Startup Delay | Settings → Display → Layout → "Startup Delay" | Off (default). Only set it to a few seconds or more if the app fails to auto-start when AIBOX boots | This setting is for devices where startup is too fast for the app to be ready in time. If you don't see this symptom, leave it at the default |
| Wait for Network Before Starting | Settings → Display → Layout → "Wait for Network Before Starting" | Turn on if you see the symptom (off by default) | Useful if the app fails to start properly because there's no internet connection right after startup. Even while waiting, turning it off lets the app start immediately |
| Turn On Tethering at Startup | Settings → Display → Network → "Turn On Tethering at Startup" | Only turn on if you use AIBOX as a Wi-Fi hotspot (off by default) | Turning this on while connected to the internet over Wi-Fi will disconnect that connection. Only enable this if you don't use Wi-Fi. Note that with SoftBank lines, tethering only works on devices sold by SoftBank or on iPhone, so this feature doesn't apply otherwise |
| Automatic Backup | No action needed (enabled automatically). For a manual save, go to Settings → Backup → "Back up settings (save to Google Drive)" | No settings change needed | Your settings are automatically saved locally on the device, so there's nothing to do the first time. If needed, you can restore from the "Backup found" prompt shown after reinstalling |
About AIBOX running Android 13: It's fine to use the recommended values above as-is. There's nothing else to note.
4.2 AIBOX Running Android 15

About AIBOX running Android 15: On some units, the steering wheel buttons have been observed to stop responding after reinstalling the app. If this happens, don't redo your settings — instead, restart the AIBOX unit itself (see "5. Troubleshooting" for details).
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Common Symptoms and Causes
Below are the representative symptoms confirmed so far. Most of these are due to the AIBOX unit itself or third-party apps, and are not bugs in NEXGIA DRIVE.
| Symptom | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Kodi won't start, or the screen goes black | This is caused by the AIBOX unit's system setting (hostname), which makes the Kodi app itself force-close on launch. This is not a bug in NEXGIA DRIVE | There's currently no way to fix this from the app side. If this concerns you, please check with the AIBOX retailer or manufacturer |
| In dual-screen display, one side turns white, or the screen grows as you enlarge it | This happens because some older apps (e.g. "GPS Test Plus," which comes preinstalled on AIBOX) still use an old spec and don't support screen resizing. This is not a bug in NEXGIA DRIVE | Resize to the size you want to use (or slightly larger) first, then relaunch that app. If it turns white, shrinking the screen once will restore it |
| Can't do a fresh install on an AIBOX running Android 16 | On some newer Android (16) AIBOX units, OS-level install restrictions can prevent installing the app fresh | Use the A16 Edition (see 1.2 Installation) |
| Screen goes black, or the previous app stays on screen, when using another launcher app | When another launcher app launches Google Maps on a different screen, standard Android behavior can switch where the map is displayed. This is not a bug in NEXGIA DRIVE | Re-selecting the nav app from the app list restores it |
| DRIVE LOG records show the address as coordinates (numbers) instead of an address | This is most likely because the AIBOX unit's Google account authentication has expired (this can happen after removing or switching Google accounts) | Go to AIBOX's Settings → Apps → Google Play Services → Storage → "Clear Data" → restart AIBOX → open Google Maps or the Play Store once to redo authentication |
| CarPlay disconnects on the new RAV4 (actually the AIBOX unit is restarting) | The AIBOX unit's CarPlay mirroring feature can error out when communicating with the new RAV4, causing the AIBOX to restart repeatedly. This is not a bug in NEXGIA DRIVE | Restart the AIBOX unit. If it doesn't improve, check with the AIBOX retailer or manufacturer about a firmware update |
| On some AIBOX units, fade and other animations don't play and screens switch abruptly instead | On some AIBOX units, the system-wide animation setting is disabled, so transitions don't play smoothly (this is only cosmetic and doesn't affect functionality) | No action needed |
| Text input is difficult or behaves oddly while Steering Key Compatibility Mode is on | Compatibility mode is designed to prevent steering wheel button presses from force-closing the launcher, but turning it on comes with a known limitation: on-screen keyboard input can become unstable | If you type frequently, turn it back off. This has been improved in recent versions. Devices that don't experience the launcher crashing from steering wheel buttons don't need to turn this on in the first place |
| Music doesn't auto-play even after restarting the engine | There are a few possible causes. ① By design, a track you paused yourself is not eligible for auto-resume (to prevent accidental resume) ② It's also not eligible if it's been stopped for longer than the "Auto-Resume Time Limit" ③ A very brief power interruption when the engine turns off could momentarily restart the AIBOX, which could be mistakenly recorded as "stopped" (fixed in recent versions) | Go to Settings → Widgets → Music and check that a music app is set, Auto-Resume Music is on, and you're within the wait time. If it doesn't improve, please send a log and contact us (see 5.2) |
| Steering wheel buttons stopped responding after reinstalling the app | On some AIBOX units, the steering wheel button signal itself can stop arriving after the app is reinstalled (an issue on the AIBOX system side) | Don't redo your settings — you must restart the AIBOX unit itself. No other method will fix this |
| A widget you added disappeared or stopped showing | On some AIBOX units, the widget repositioning process could, in rare cases, lose its placement data and become hidden — a bug that's fixed in recent versions | Update to the latest version, then place that widget again from "+ Add" in the screen settings panel |
| Tapping an app shows "This app is already in use on another screen" | That app is already running on the other screen (the other side of dual-screen, or the other page among page ①/②) | Close that app on the other screen where it's in use, or choose a different app |
※With SoftBank lines, tethering only works on devices sold by SoftBank or on iPhone, so this feature doesn't apply otherwise. This feature can't be used with a SoftBank-line smartphone.
5.2 Sending Logs
If you experience a symptom, please send a log using the steps below as soon as possible afterward. This gives the developer an important clue when investigating the situation.
Settings → About → Contact Us → "Send Log"
Pressing the button sends the logs on your device directly to the developer. You don't need to attach the log contents to an email yourself.
Logs are sent only when you press this button. Logs do not include your address or coordinates. Usage statistics and crash reports are never sent automatically. Details of the information that is sent are given at Settings → About → Privacy Policy & Terms of Use.
5.3 Contact and Request Form
Questions, bug reports, and requests are welcome through the channels below (the same contact points are also available at Settings → About → Contact Us).
- Official LINE: via the QR code in the app
- Telegram: via the QR code in the app
- Email:
arc@nexgia.net(tapping this from the About screen opens your mail app with a pre-filled template) - Request Form: https://forms.gle/78qNQa1f5EvWTLt58
When reporting a bug, if possible, please send a log using the steps in 5.2 before contacting us — it makes investigation smoother.
6. Update History
6.1 Checking Your Current Version
Opening Settings → About → Version shows the currently installed version number (v0.0.0). When contacting us, letting us know the version number from this screen helps investigation go smoothly.
The same screen also shows the note "Compatible Devices: AIBOX only (*Does not work on general Android devices)."
6.2 How Automatic Updates Work
Since NEXGIA DRIVE is distributed through its own method rather than an app store, updates happen in the following flow.
- When the app starts, it automatically checks whether a new version has been released
- If a new version is available, a dialog titled "Update available" appears. Choosing "Update" starts the download
- Once the download finishes, the install process runs
- Restarting AIBOX (or the app) is required for the update to take effect
If you choose "Later," you'll be prompted again the next time the app starts.
To check manually: You can perform the same check from Settings → About → Version → the "Check for Updates" button.
6.3 If Updating Doesn't Work
If the download fails, or it stays stuck on "checking," please try the following.
- Press "Check for Updates" again while connected to a stable network such as Wi-Fi
- Wait a while and try again (depending on network conditions, the download can be held pending)
- If it still doesn't improve, you can manually download the latest APK file and reinstall it
Manual download of the latest version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15bx557pzHBX2h2b6_v4i2y_wgjHpNkT3/view?usp=sharing
Installing a manually downloaded file also keeps all your existing settings intact.
6.4 Update History Page
The "Update History" section within the About screen may currently show content that differs from what actually changed in each version. The latest update details (what changed) will be provided below.
When a new version is distributed, we'll also announce the update details separately. If you have questions about specific changes, please contact us through the channels in 5.3.
