I’ve said it before, and I’ll repeat it: Android Auto is among Google’s best products. Yes, it has its flaws and could be improved, but the value it adds to the driving experience is substantial. It’s even more helpful once you unlock its hidden settings and take full advantage of apps from third-party sources.
By default, Android Auto is limited to apps installed through the Google Play Store, but if you toggle a small setting in its hidden developer menu, you can expand its app support, unlocking even more utility.
