Hi, can this help you youtube

As of now, this is where we're up to:
1. we can now enable and use USB ADB to sideload apps
2. we can now re-enable Wireless ADB via sideloading a an wireless ADB enabling package
3. we can now replace the system Package Manager with an alternate unrestricted Package Manager
4. we can now install apps via native (or alternate) file manager using alternate-unrestricted Package Manager

Are people aware of this? or are instructions of this yet to be published on XDA?

@insinc
Is this possible with every Android OEM head unit, like GM Mylink?
Thank you.

Bro, you need to open the box under the console on the passenger side. and you will see Android head just like SOFO888 said.

then you need to remove the thick black sticker and you will see a micro USB slot. with that slot, you can adb sideload apk. that is.

From a friend:

How to install applications on locked yuan/atto3​

​

On a USB drive (formatted in FAT32) create a folder called "third party apps" (WITHOUT the quotes)​

​

Inside that folder copy the apks you want to install​

​

Connect the USB drive to the USB data port of the car.​

​

You will see the screen to set a password​

​

Enter the password 20211231​

No need to sideload via ADB anymore.
Although I haven't tested this, you might be able to
1. install the unrestricted BYD package manager here: https://workupload.com/file/EgYhyaba92E
2. install app manager via here: https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/AppManager/releases
3. install Aurora OSS here: https://auroraoss.com/
4. install wireless adb switch from here: https://workupload.com/file/RsgTzvRKe6S
5. enable wireless adb via developer menu: Settings > tap on "restore" several times to show menu
6. launch app manager and grant permissions to aurora OSS to install packages
7. use Aurora OSS to install firefox and other non-google-drm apps
8. use firefox to install gbox and gbox apps via: www.gboxlab.com

yeah, your headlights are on. so the screen will only go to "night time" brightness. Day time brightness is so bright at night it's a safety hazard! Because during the day, the screen has to be bright enough it can beat the SUN!

so check if your headlights are set to "on" and change it to "auto" or "off" to get the android screen brighter.
