Android Auto’s Hidden Developer Settings

While some refer to it as “God mode,” there’s no magic involved. Android Auto has hidden settings meant for developers. These settings provide more control over how Android Auto functions and are useful for creating and testing apps.

Caution for Non-Developers:

These are advanced settings and can potentially disrupt Android Auto if you don’t understand their purpose. Options like enabling app debugging or forcing app registration are best left untouched by casual users.

Leave it alone unless you’re developing apps for Android Auto to avoid any unintended consequences.
