Android Auto Fixes 3 Common Glitches by Changing 1920x1080 and 2 Other Hidden Settings

Summary
Three hidden Android Auto developer options can stop dashboard flicker, black screens and missing apps by overriding the system’s default automatic behavior.
10 taps on the app’s version number unlock the menu, where users can force Day or Night mode and cut out sensor-triggered theme switching that causes redraw stutter in tunnels or tree cover.
1920x1080 video output can also be locked manually, avoiding repeated phone-car resolution negotiation that can settle on the wrong setting, blur the display or briefly turn it black.
Unknown Sources lets sideloaded or custom apps run, but they still must be enabled separately in Customize Launcher before they appear on the car screen.
The report warns against changing unfamiliar developer options, framing the three tweaks as targeted fixes for lag, disconnects and unstable wired or wireless connections.
