  "account": "Google has a reputation for dragging its feet when it comes to rolling out new features in Android Auto. Often, fully functional interface changes are concealed behind server-side flags, extensive testing periods, and selective drip-rollouts. Up until now, making modifications to the core Android Auto platform has involved complicated system-level patching. However, an open-source LSPosed module called AA Experiments has emerged, empowering rooted users with a straightforward way to inspect and selectively disable these hidden experimental flags. Developed by HighwindBR, AA Experiments combines an Android manager application with a LSPosed module that integrates directly into Android Auto, eliminating the need for APK repacking. The app scans the installed Android Auto build on your device and, in the background, enables users to turn hidden features on or off.",
