Does it work like this with iOS by chance?

I have it installed on my Android work phone and iOS personal phone. I found few of PIDs in Android doesn't work but works on iOS.

Yes, there is a version for iPhone. I was starting to use it and looking up my current PIDS for this dashboard when I saw it on my Android Autio phone.

It appears to work with all PIDs that the Android App itself can. I say "appears" because I have only checked a few of the Enhanced PIDS (I have a MX+) so far, there are thousands. i.e. I have the MY23 PIDs and did this small custom screen to watch 12VDC battery as a test.

With MX2+ disconnected and on the App, got to Settings\Preferences\Android Auto\Configure Screens and you can see examples and add screens. Like my "Vehicle Battery" screen, you can also adjust the ICON a bit.

Here is an example where I added the 12VDC SOC

Thanks for notifying us of this. I'm sure @Snakebitten might be interested in this as well.

Already played with it a couple of weeks ago. It's a cool concept, but currently disappointing in application. I imagine there's a lot of screen code to be developed before it would be a substitute for a second display device.

Me too.
I have a dedicated un-sim'd phone I use for whatever vehicle I am in, so that I'm not touching my real phone.

OBDlink in the truck
Carscanner in the Mach-E
Torque/Forscan lite in the Miata
Nothing in the Porsche.

I go 100% analog in the old P-car. I don't even turn on the radio. I listen to the Flat 6 song on those runs. ?

Funny I was coming here to post about it.
It is limited to fit the requirements of Android Auto with limited interaction. I can't say I would use it but you get option for multiple screens of text PID. Maybe they will improve it in future showing us to setup dashboard on phone that will duplicate in AA.

Side note, everything working fine with adaptive cruise but lots of codes. ?‍
