Hide A/C and Nav Bars on Tesla Android Units

[dougal19]

I thought I'd make this a new thread so it doesn't get lost, but I found a (relatively) easy way to hide the A/C controls and Nav bar on Tesla style android units WITHOUT needing to pay for any custom firmware.

Items needed:

• Android head unit
• Laptop
• WiFi Hotspot

Instructions

1. Install "Minimal ADB Tools" on your laptop
2. Enable developer mode and USB debugging on your head unit
3. Download the following apps onto head unit:
   • Terminal Emulator
   • Immersive Fullscreen Mode Tool
4. Open Terminal Emulator and type in the following (enter after each line):
   • setprop persist.adb.tcp.port 5555
   • setprop sys.rkadb.root 1
   • reboot
5. Connect head unit and laptop to the same WiFi hotspot
6. Find IP address of head unit (go to system settings, wifi, click on network)
7. Open ADB Tools on computer (shortcut on desktop) and type:
   • adb connect [your device ip]:5555
   • adb shell pm grant com.huseyinatasoy.fullscreen_immersive_mode android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
8. Open Fullscreen Immersive app and toggle status/notification bars on and off. When they're hidden they can be revealed by swiping up from top/bottom of screen.If you pay for the app you can enable/disable per app.
9. Enjoy!

This can also be achieved per app using Tasker and AutoTools, though I've not tried it out.

Update, looks like with this app you can choose for each app for free.
