Having the new Android Auto desktop on your car's dashboard is very useful. And also very agile. You just have to click on the application you want to open to start it and enjoy it in full screen. And even open a second minimized app in the bottom bar. However, if you want to keep it in the most basic state, having all Android Auto-compatible apps in view may not be the best option. Luckily there is a function to choose which applications and functions you want to display on the dashboard with Android Auto
Step by step configuration
To be able to choose the applications to see on your car's dashboard screen, you must perform a simple configuration on your mobile. Inside the Android Auto app. Follow these steps.

- Inside you will find a list of applications compatible with the Android Auto system. Actually, all the ones that appear on the screen of the dashboard of your car. Note that they are all marked, by default, with the blue tick to the rightIf you want one to disappear from the dashboard desktop, unselect it from this list. Those applications that do not have a box next to them are the ones that are by default and inescapably on the desktop. The rest are expendable, so feel free to remove from the list all those you don't use.
The fewer apps you have on your dashboard screen, the more you can focus your attention on the road. And you won't have to move around a cluttered desktop, or scroll it to find those apps that are hidden below due to excess icons.
