Anybody know of any way to remove apps or install an MDM on newer GM vehicles with Android? I can turn on usb debugging and it shows in ADB devices but says `You need GM Secure ADB client to establish a secure ADB session.` if I try any adb commands. I couldn’t find a “GM Secure ADB client” any other way to connect?

Are you able to install apps? Not via adb but normal

No didn’t figure out how. I installed a file manager from the play store but it wouldn’t install apks. The selection of apps on the Play Store is limited so I can’t just install anything.

Don’t know that I want to go [this deep](https://www.cameraloops.ru/forums/topic/6151-adb-access-on-gminfo-37-38-global-b/) though and looks like any updates would relock it.
