Enables touch input
AA Touch tells Android Auto that the factory display has a touchscreen.
Android Auto,

AA Touch adds tap, swipe, and drag to Android Auto on your factory Mazda touchscreen. It works while parked or moving, with the commander knob, steering-wheel controls, and voice input still available.

Mazda left the touchscreen out of Android Auto.
On Gen 6 Mazda Connect, Android Auto does not accept touch, even while parked. Mazda’s software leaves the touchscreen out of its input list and sends touch events in a format Android Auto cannot read. AA Touch enables the touchscreen input and translates those events.
Translates touch events
A program on the head unit converts the panel’s single-finger touch events into the format Android Auto expects.
Keeps the factory controls
The commander knob, steering-wheel buttons, and voice input remain available alongside touch.
Touch works while parked or moving.
Tap to select, swipe through lists, or drag the map. You can also type when Android Auto displays its keyboard. The factory touchscreen detects one finger at a time, so pinch zoom is not supported.
