We need somebody clever to fool google, its from the play store.
Android Auto looks at what app's were installed in vendor mode (via package manager logs) - it's nothing do do with Sygic how you install it, that's all down to how package manager logs how an app was installed. You need to use ABD and install an apk in vendor mode for package manager to think it was installed via the app store(aka vendor mode). If you do that when AA checks how your app was installed - it will see it was installed in vendor mode.
People need to learn how to use their phones, and what package manager actually does - before blaming modders. Also try reading - this is explained in near enough every Sygic post and has literally been asked thousands of times already, it gets tiresome reading these type of posts, never mind replying to them.
For anyone interested, here are the steps to use ADB to have the app appear as installed from Google Play.
adb push app.apk /data/local/tmp/app.apk
adb shell pm install -i "com.android.vending" -r /data/local/tmp/app.apk
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/app.apk
To confirm that this has worked, list the packages using the Package Manager:
adb shell pm list packages -i [packagename]
If all has gone well, you should see this output:
package:[packagename] installer=com.android.vending
