I just need AA and Newpipe as I find it the best alternate to Vanced which all versions besides 17.xx is asking for update after a day or 2 of clearing data.

Cant be clearing data each to use Vanced. Leceh.

I try not to load the weakass h/w to run so many apps with only 2GB RAM and ancient CPU / OS combination.

no offense, i personally think the HU just so bad performance to run anything other than itself.
I bypass it actually wanna to install musicplayer so i can play high-res USB music with better UI.
but seen like the android not natively support reading USB. (it doesnt mount the USB as storage device for system to read)

so not really a point to make a batch installer that install all these 'basic app'.
and yet we talk about the legality issue after this. if someone run into accident, people found out driver passed out and HU playing youtube video....

Do you know what is AIMP app does?
I totally disagreed with your statement that Android natively does not support USB, I think you are using IOS for too long.

Then again, welcome your opinion here on performance limitation and you can have your own choice for not install anything.

The last part to show menu is a great final touch!
Personally I prefer:
Spotify
Youtube Music
Vanced (I planned to test all avail version, other alternatives are not good enough)
Android Auto / Apple Carplay
Torque

These are the apps available in my current car's HU too.

You finally got your X50 FS?
Want to help me test the beta?

It should be ready on this weekend.

Now come with :
1) Noobs mode -Default mode will run a check, download the apks and install apks wtih a simple progress dsiplay - few apps still finalizing the list of apks.
2) Experts mode - come with options and terminal alike display to - unhide / hide sideloaded apps, uninstall all sideloaded apps, ADB mode, EngineerMode and similar function to Xeon1989 v.075
3) Fallback mode if no internet connection (example coolray)- local mode to run your own script - done.sh

If too many users, I will still look for help/suggestion to wget cmd running from faster server.

Thanks in advance.

Someone posted in fb saying that sc can manual update the maps. Perhaps there's still a way to sideload apks. If only some Service Assistant kind enough to share the method. 🤪

Sunroof not included in part of windscreen insurance?

Personally I think pointless to PPF Sunroof as the impact of stone enough to chip the glass would be the one at front windscreen, you seldom have object crashing from above directly, even if there is such threat, that kind of impact will most likely be enough to shatter your Sunroof even with PPF installed, like example your car turn turtle.

Please enlighten me if you view this differently.
*
1. Sunroof is included as part of windscreen coverage - see Endorsement 89: Cover for Windscreens, Windows and Sunroof
In consideration of the additional premium that You paid Us for this endorsement, We agree that the insurance provided under Section A of this Policy will cover the cost to replace or repair any glass in the windscreen, window or sunroof of Your Car that is accidentally damaged including the cost of lamination/tinting film (if any) provided no other claim is submitted for this Incident. The maximum amount that We will pay under this endorsement is the amount mentioned in the Schedule under the heading ‘Endorsement 89’.

2. For Proton Insurance Program, can still get benefits if you change insurance as long as you buy from Proton website/service centre + one of the 6 panels (https://www.proton.com/en/shopping-tools/proton-insurance-program). Based on my recent survey, Am General was the lowest cost FYI.

Disclosure: I'm just regular X50 owner - not working for proton or insurance company lol..

The manual refer to ACO Tech trigger in their server for the map update. It required user the open Proton Navigation to detect and download the map.

Again this process should be automatic, but somehow ACO Tech screw up again.
