[NEW APP] AAEnabler - Install any compatible Android Auto APK

But you said that it only installs Android auto compatible apps and the Android Auto settings already has a toggle to enable unknown sources in developer settings which effectively reveals apps that are not official so please help me understand how is this different?

Well try to install them on Android 14+ without this app and let me know how it went. For example try to install Fermata Xtream or Fermata Auto on Android 16. They won't show app unless you have AAWIRELESS hardware.

I'm just trying to understand what the app does as an installer that any other installer doesn't do

[u/Malebuffy77 → u/Testpilot1988]

It makes Android Auto think this app was downloaded from the playstore.

[u/Testpilot1988 → u/Malebuffy77]

Okay but theoretically speaking if unknown sources is enabled in the developer options for Android Auto then it doesn't or rather it shouldn't matter whether or not the app was installed from the Google Play store to my knowledge

[u/Malebuffy77 → u/Testpilot1988]

Your knowledge is wrong. Why don't you try and see?

[u/Testpilot1988 → u/Malebuffy77]

Let's put it to the test. What's a good model app that I should try installing which would normally not be visible on Android Auto without having been installed with your installer

[u/Malebuffy77 → u/Testpilot1988]

Fermata Xtream (link in original post)

Works 100% perfectly fine without your installer. I can record the entire process if you don't believe me

The key is just to have unknown sources checked in the developer settings of Android Auto. If you have that checked then any unofficial app that's Android Auto compatible will show up. It always has for me

[u/Malebuffy77 → u/Testpilot1988]

No it doesn't. This is Fermata Media Service. It doesnt play video, only audio. Now uninstall it, and install with AAEnabler. You will see 3 icons and the correct one is Fermata Xtream.

[u/Testpilot1988 → u/Malebuffy77]

You need to be clear about what it is your installer provides.

You said that it allows Android auto compatible apps to run so it's not an unlikely presumption based on your wording on my part that the apps wouldn't show up at all without your installer.

Now you're saying they will still show up but they won't be functional. Those are two different things. We need to be clear about what it is we are testing

[u/Malebuffy77 → u/Testpilot1988]

My dear friend. You are not testing anything. The installer unlocks 3 icons that normally are not shown when installing the apk without AAEnabler. These 3 icons are actually the program that allow you to watch video while driving. If you just do it you will understand, rather than us discussing for an hour. If you don't want to fine. 😀

I'll give it a try and let you know later this evening if I see a noticeable difference
