App not starting? If the app fails to launch, try opening a non-Google Maps navigation app (such as Waze) first, then open AA Browser.

I care about the app's growth, but I care about your privacy even more. This app is designed with a Transparency-First policy:
Important
I have ZERO interest in your browsing habits.
- 🚫 No URL Tracking: I don't (and physically can't) see which websites you visit, what you search, or what you type.
- 🕵️ Self-Hosted Analytics: I use a private Umami instance. No IP track, No Google, No Meta, no Big Tech trackers.
- 🆔 Anonymous Data: I only see "The app was opened" and This App Versions. I use a random, anonymous UUID that isn't tied to your device ID or personal info.
Love AA Browser, but wish you could also run your other favorite apps on your car's screen? Check out AA Anything — a brand-new tool I built to unlock your dashboard for everyday Android apps!
- 🎬 Bring Your Apps to the Dash: Project media players (like VLC — completely free to use!), plus unlock third-party web browsers, finance trackers, and handy utilities directly on Android Auto (excluding apps with strict DRM or Play Integrity restrictions).
- 📱 No Root, No PC Required: Forget complicated ADB commands. Everything happens right on your phone in just a few taps—pick an app, tap Patch & Install, and plug in!
- 🔄 Effortless In-Place Updates: Keep all your app data and login sessions intact when updating apps or after Android system updates.
- 🛡️ 100% Safe for Your Vehicle: Operates purely over standard Android Auto projection on Android 15+ with zero modifications to your car's head unit.
I'm a solo student developer building and maintaining AA Browser in my spare time (mostly while fighting ./gradlew crashes on my machine 😅). If this app makes your parked breaks or road trips a little more enjoyable, please consider buying me a coffee! Your support helps keep me caffeinated, upgrade my dev environment, and keep this project alive.
If you sponsor the project, please let me know in the Discussions! I'd love to add you to our sponsors list as a token of my gratitude.
Stay safe, keep your eyes on the road, and happy browsing! 🚗💨
