Hello everyone!
There is a way to install any applications for AA on devices without Root.

Important! Not known how long it will work (until Google closed it), but now it works, including for S2A.

How it works:
1. Put the ADB folder on the PC.
2. Put the applications that we want to install in ADB folder.
3. Turn on USB debugging and connect the smartphone to PC. Enter ADB folder through cmd (cd c:\ ADB)
4. Enter the following commands (inserting apk name instead blablabla)
Code:
adb push blablabla.apk /data/local/tmp/app.apk
adb shell pm install -i "com.android.vending" -r /data/local/tmp/app.apk
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/app.apk
5. After that, the application should appear in Android Auto list
To install S2A in this way, recommended use the latest version 3.5beta

Attention!
There may be bugs when running S2A without Root. But what we have is what we have.
However, Сarstream and Fermata Auto apps work fine.
A question , istall-i was showed ? by adb ,could you tell me why?

Try to install through ADB.
Perhaps it will work.

My experience: on one of my phones it worked, on the other phone I always had an install error.

What do you mean by full screen? Do you mean the apps filling the usable space, some apps like certain video apps, you can stretch the screen to fill.

Or are you talking about removing the bottom navigation/media bar on Android Auto? I don't think you can do that without root.
I'm asking about this that doesn't work.

Would someone be kind enough to post a draft of a guide, from a to z? SInce starting to use it for a rooted note9 to now, a lot has changed, the aio patcher doesnt work, so i cannot shrink the navbar, also s2a always works and then it doesn't and I would like to have my trusty road companion back with me :) .
Also, before being told, i saw that here are fragments of information here and there, but that generally end up in intermitent working s2a.

Thank you in advance !

Other than the first time years ago, all I do is install AAEASE. Then run it and install S2A with it.
Is that not working for you?

Not sure this helps but I have been using S2A for over a year with non rooted samsung note 9. Installed with AA Ease and works very well on wireless AA setup.

    S2A appears to be the most restricted app.

    To my knowledge following levels of restrictions/by-passes exist:
    1. Developer mode + unknown sources need to be enabled in the AA app,
    you can tap the Version number in the AA app a lot, to unlock the developer settings.
    2. Apps need to be "installed as Google Play",
    you can use KingInstaller to do so: https://github.com/fcaronte/KingInstaller
    3. Apps need to be "whitelisted in phenotype.db",
    you can use AA-AIO-Tweaker for this: https://github.com/shmykelsa/AA-Tweaker
    4. Apps need Xposed module to spoof an additional "installed as Google Play" check,
    you can use Android-Auto-XLauncher-Unlocked for this: https://github.com/Rikj000/Android-Auto-XLauncher-Unlocked
    5. Apps (for now only Screen2Auto to my knowledge) need their internal package name changed to something different,
    you can use MT Manager for this: https://mt2.cn/download/

    Open MT Manager => Open S2A.apk file => View => AndroidManifest.xml => String pool => Triple dot icon => Filter =>
    Type the package name of the app (likely "ru.cvitnepei.neatruwtosceo" or "ru.inceptive.screentwoauto") => Ok
    => Select the found package name (likely "ru.cvitnepei.neatruwtosceo" or "ru.inceptive.screentwoauto")
    => Alter it to something unique, don't tell your unique package name online => Ok => Back arrow => Save and exit
    => Save AndroidManifest.xml modification + Auto sign => Ok

    Open your package manager => Install modified / renamed S2A.apk
    It's reaaly a crystal clear intructions. Thanks Man. IT works on my Poco F1 A13 Nasuntara ROM + NGK kernel test build

    Application features:
    - The main reason for creating this application is working with Android 9 Pie
    1. Сompletely new application combining AAMirror & AAStream features.
    2. Additional functions: clock, dimming, selection of resolutions, etc.
    3. Ability to choose the automatic launch of any application at A2M startup.
    4. Floating button to control the application from the HU screen.
    5. Ability to reset if incorrect output and resolution distortion.
    6. Many other chips...

    Installation and setup:
    1. Download and Install Screen2Auto
    6760829d5c83bfb472ea0a96d8b0efde.png
    2. Enable developper settings in Android Auto and enable Unkown sources in developper settings.
    1. Launch on the Android Auto mobile device
    2. Open the menu, tap the tab "About Android Auto"
    3. In the menu that opens, tap on the gear (settings). Then we crawl to the very bottom of the menu that opens: "Version 4.5. *** - release".
    4. 10 times tap on the display of the version of Android Auto, a window will appear where we must agree with what we are doing. Click "Yes."
    5. Go to the menu (tap "three points") and select the tab "For Developers" that appears in the menu
    6. In the last line, put a checkmark "Unknown sources" or use other settings of the developer's menu.
    3. Use the AA AIO TWEAKER from @shmykelsa for activation third-party applications.
    4. Launch the application and perform the initial setup of permission recovery. Click on the button and save them.

    5. Make the necessary settings as desired.
    Warning:
    If, after turning off the smartphone or exiting AA (turned off the car, closed the emulator, removed the USB), the resolution of the smartphone did not return to its original state (the recovery settings, failure, smartphone features, etc. were set incorrectly, etc.), you need go to Settings → Reset settings and select the WM SIZE RESET option. Resolution will be restored to factory.

    The only way (similar method from the Fermata player thread) I found to overcome the problem for now is:
    - Use Android Auto version 7.0.614104 (tried v7.1.614554, it does not work in any way).
    - Rename the Screen2Auto app v3.6.2 (change the ru.inceptive.screentwoauto name) with Lucky Patcher or any other rename apk app.
    - Uninstall the original Screen2Auto and install the renamed one.
    - Enable Unknown Sources on AA and patch/add the newly renamed app to AA with AA IO Tweaker as you normally would.

    I tried turning off/on the car, disconnected and rebooted the phone, Screen2Auto hasn't disappeared yet.
