There is no doubt that Android Auto is one of the smart navigation software par excellence. The Google Vehicle App is extremely popular as it provides a quick and easy way to control various aspects of your smartphone.
Thanks to it we can access some of the applications available on our phone. Of course, only with those that are compatible with the system, which do not represent a truly excessive number and that is the main problem of the app. This together with the various malfunctions is one of the main problems of Android Auto.
Safety first
The reason why the American company that develops the main global search engine has decided to deny access to certain programs is simply so that they do not interfere with driving and the person in question focuses on the handling of the car.
Fortunately, there is a way to carry out software installations that are initially not compatible with Android Auto and bypass Google’s ban through an APK that provides access to them.
Before you should bear in mind that at any time some could stop working, since the company does not agree with an inappropriate use of its software. In addition, we also remind you that during the control of the car, attention must be focused on the road and its surroundings, since a distraction could cause a serious accident that could put your life and someone else’s life upside down.
AAAD to download apps
What you need to carry out downloads and installations of unsupported software is Android Auto Apps Downloaders , which we have already told you about on different occasions. The best thing about it is that its operation is really simple and there is no complication , since it does it without the need for root or computer.
To obtain this program, simply access the developer’s account (shmykelsa) on GitHub and download the APK . Once installed on your mobile phone, all you have to do is enter it and you will find the list of apps that you can install to use them with Android Auto. Among them are:
- Carstream : to watch YouTube in the car.
- Screen2Auto : broadcast the screen of your smartphone.
- Performance Monitor : monitors various vehicle-related data on the screen (select compatible car models only).
- AA Passenger : transmits audio and controls navigation from the passenger terminal.
These are just some of the most interesting compatible applications. We keep the mystery of the rest for you to discover for yourself. We remind you again that the use of tools such as Carstream should only be used while the car is stopped , as it can generate sudden distractions.
It is unknown how long it will take until Google takes action and disables AAAD, but it is true that Android Auto should allow you to use YouTube only when the car is not running. Well, in this way possible problems would be avoided. Unfortunately, this is the only way to do it.
