How to Display and Control DMD2 on a Motorcycle Smart Screen Using Fermata Auto and KingInstaller (No Root Required)

Drive Mode Dashboard 2 (DMD2) is a powerful dashboard app for motorcyclists, especially adventure and dual-sport riders. But if your motorcycle display — like the Chigee AIO-6 LTE — only supports Android Auto and not native Android apps, running DMD2 directly isn’t possible.

This guide shows how to mirror DMD2 with touchscreen support to your Chigee or similar device using Fermata Auto and KingInstaller, without rooting and without needing a computer.
