The number of users who make use of Google’s smart navigation software is really extensive. Its purpose is to guarantee the user a safe environment while driving, but above all accessible, although its poor compatibility is one of the great problems of Android Auto.
Currently the number of applications that you can use in the program for vehicles of the American company is somewhat limited. Most of them are intended for GPS navigation or listening to audio content. In fact, you can’t even enter YouTube, although this is something that will disappear this year 2022.
Even so, it is a torment not being able to use apps as basic as those of a news medium, but Google takes refuge in the fact that the objective of Android Auto is safety and this type of content can generate distractions for the driver. In any case, it would be enough to establish a setting that does not allow it to be done while the car is running.
Anyway, there is an easy way to turn any web page into an app. Thanks to this, you can consult the current information on our site from your own car and keep an eye on the latest news.
accessible and simple
The best thing about all this is that you don’t need to enter any link, but it works like any other application. Simply click on it and you will directly access the website in question, achieving an accessible and quick way to access your favorite page.
To do this you will have to download AA Store , which is basically a store that includes a list of programs that you can install on Android Auto. You can download the corresponding APK from the Telegram channel of the software.
Once installed on the phone, you just have to enter it and choose the Custom App option. In it you will include the website you want, but you cannot modify or personalize the name or the icon.
time to set up
When you have the supposed app installed, it is time to configure it so that it redirects you to a specific link. The truth is that this part of the procedure is the easiest, but for people without knowledge of English it can be confusing.
All you have to do is enter the Custom App and insert the page link in the second section, that is, where it says ‘Click here to insert the URL…’ . Be careful, you must be sure that the URL is correct, otherwise you will have to uninstall the app and start the process again.
With this, everything would be ready. The next time you go to take the car, connect Android Auto to the screen and you will be able to see how this software has appeared. Now, you just have to touch on it and the page will open. It is necessary to point out that in AA Store you have up to 10 possibilities to create applications. So choose your favorites and check them with a simple touch from your car.
Be careful, it should be noted that this functionality should not be used when the car is running, because it can cause an accident due to distraction.
