My download failed because Google Play Protect saying Screen2Auto was malicious

Please take a deep look before downloading Screen2Auto to the popup that comes out from the AAAD app. Make sure you click on "Install anyway", and not the blue button that brings you to not install the app.

Reason for this warning

AAAD app itself or any apps within it does not contain any malware. Google Play Protect does not have any anti-virus feature , rather it just warns of apps that Google doesn’t like for various reasons. In this scenario, it’s safe to assume that the reason for this warning is Google does not want its users to tweak Android Auto as it could raise security concerns while driving. You can disable this warning by heading to the settings of Google Play Store.
