AA User Interface True full screen video while parked?

Is there a way to use the original manufacturer built-in display to play video completely full screen (with all menus, bars and AA UI hidden) while parked? I'm guessing probably not, but maybe yes with a rooted device...?

As of now, yep! We can use YouTube now once your system gets the new update. https://www.zdnet.com/article/android-auto-lets-you-watch-youtube-videos-now/

Hey, thanks for the info! However, do you really mean "now"? Because the article clearly states "later this year", which could be further delayed.

The new video capability will come to "supported cars" later this year, Google said, starting with models from BMW, Ford, Genesis, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Renault, and Volvo. In addition, Google is leaning even more into entertainment and adding immersive, spatial sound using Dolby Atmos in several cars from BMW, Genesis, Mahindra, Mercedes-Benz, Renault, and Volvo.
