Replacement android head unit question

[MaverichX5E70]

Hey guys, can anyone that's replaced their screen with the android head unit provide a good source for information on how to modify these devices?

I'm not unfamiliar with Android TV boxes, however these devices seem to be different animal.


Mine runs on Android 11 and I'm currently trying to figure out how to have a specific apk run when the device starts (Spotify).

I don't use Android Auto and I have it set up to automatically look for and connect to my phone when on hotspot, and it would be nice to have the device boot automatically into Spotify when started.


On Android TV boxes I've used various "first to launch" apks but haven't found anything that will work..


Any help would be appreciated!
