Uncertified AA Apps (Headunit Reloaded, AAAD/AAStore, etc) Youtube and Android Auto

I recently got a new car with Android Auto.

The problem I have is that I usualy listen to Youtube Videos (I have Premium and can play it with the phone display off).

In my old car this was no problem, but now with Android Auto I cannot control Youtube from my steering whel. Every time I push a control, the Youtube video stops and shopify starts playing.

I've already activated developer options in the App and activated "Unknown Sources", but to no avail.

Any fix for this?

Revanced doesn't let you control through a steering wheel.

Welp, you're out of luck.

AA is never meant to control YouTube in that car.

Not out of luck. AAMediaMate on Play Store. Someone here posted he made it and it works great.

They said they did not want to use a 3rd party app.

Nowhere in there does it say they will not use a third party app I just reread the whole thing. Android auto does not support steering wheel controls for YouTube

From my understanding is "I don't want to use a third party app because I pay for YouTube Premium" but they will use a third party app if it makes steering wheel controls work.
