What is SAAX?
Sensible Android Auto Xposed is a simple module that can make Android Auto less restrictive. These Xposed frameworks and related modules have been popular among Android Auto enthusiasts for customization and to add additional features.
The Sensible Android Auto module is more important while the vehicle is in motion. For the Android Auto car enthusiasts who are seeking customizing and advanced functionalities, this offers them a plethora of options to enhance the Android Auto experience.
Xposed Frame Work
Xposed framework is a powerful tool which can allow users to modify their Android systems without making changes to the original APKs. With Xposed modules, users can add features, customize interfaces, and also tweak the system behavior without flashing custom ROMs or making complex modifications.
When it comes to the Sensible Android Auto Xposed (SAAX) module, it can enable users to go beyond the default Android Auto features allowed by Google. It can enable the standard features offered by Android Auto and provides a range of customization options and more functions.
SAAX Features:
- Customizable UI
- Enhanced notifications
- Additional Shortcuts and widgets

- Compatibility and stability
Like most apps and tweaks for Android Auto, SAAX also has restrictions. In some built-in AA units get the speed bump warning which is distracting. Also, it was not allowing scroll lists. However, now you can scroll the lists while driving ( songs, playlists etc)
SAAX module is working fine up to Android Auto 7.0 (AA 6.3.611314). It became popular among users who used monitoring apps to use their Android devices while driving Android Auto cars.
