After seeing the articles about the new files being in the latest beta version I took a dive in and looked to see how to enable it. Here's some basic steps for that.
​
1. You will need to be rooted and on the latest beta. "7.3.120244-release.daily"​
2. Download a database editor, I used SQLite Editor.​
3. Open SQLite and under "apps" section navigate to Google Play Services and open it.​
4. Scroll down to phenotype.db and select it.​
5. Look for "flags" and open it.​
6. On the top select "set filter" input Coolwalk__enabled.​
7. change all bootVal from 0 to 1.​
8. Now search for cakewalk and do the same.​
9. Lastly search for MirrorApp__enabled and change those.​

Now just restart your phone and connect to Android auto. You will need to enable coolwalk on the head unit settings. To switch from full screen and condensed press and hold the new UI home button. I need another phone to show off cast, but it does work. You just can't do Netflix/Hulu what not. You also need to be in park. I haven't found what to change to eliminate that. Anyone else wants to help give it a shot.



UPDATE: if you have sqlite3 installed with magisk you can also create a trigger like so in termux.

Code: 
Su

Sqlite3

.open /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases/phenotype.db

CREATE TRIGGER after_update
AFTER UPDATE ON Flags
BEGIN
UPDATE Flags SET boolVal=1 WHERE name='Coolwalk__enabled';UPDATE Flags SET boolVal=1 WHERE name='MirrorApp__enabled';UPDATE Flags SET boolVal=1 WHERE name LIKE 'Coolwalk__%' AND boolVal=0;
END;

Perhaps we can use the cast function for Screen2Auto and Fermata in the future as Google always tries to block 3rd party apps.

    Works great! I tried it on both the 7.3.120244 and the 7.3.120444 beta version and both worked. I did have to revert all the tweaks from AA AIO Tweaker and uninstall the app first to get it to work.
