AAAD, the launcher that installs apps on your Android Auto so you can run them in the car

Do you want to install unofficial applications for Android Auto and appear on the console of your vehicle? Well Android Auto Apps Downloader The magic will work: it is an open source app that not only can download a collection of software with which to expand the possibilities of the system, it also installs the applications so that they appear in the car.

Google has gradually opened the tap to Android Auto developers without the tap having the flow rate as wide as Android itself. For example, on your mobile you can install any app in APK and use it, but the same does not happen in its version for cars: Auto will only load on the vehicle screen those apps certified by Google for use in that environment. Of course, now there is a new app that expands the possibilities: AAAD.

AAAD downloads and installs apps compatible with Android Auto that are not in Google Play
