Android Question Settings->Accessibility->Services (settings.apk)

I have a 2013 Nexus 7 tablet; I recently bought an Android car radio (JYHU).
I was hoping to finally use B4A to write some apps for it.

I downloaded an app from Google Play store and installed it on my tablet...worked just fine.
The app was able to add an entry under Settings->Accessibility->Services.
Unlike the Nexus 7, the JYHU did not have a "Services" category under Settings->Accessibility.
The JYHU came with a custom version of the Settings app (settings.apk).
Apparently the JYHU version is not allowing apps to neither create the Services category nor modify it (add entries).

Is there someone familiar with the settings.apk to guide me as to how the JYHU is crippled so I can fix it?
So far, I modified the accessibility_settings.xml file and was able to add the Services category but on the JYHU the apps still cannot add entries to it.

In parallel I am trying to contact the Android car radio SW developers. Unfortunately they are in China and have not been responsive at all.
There are many people on XDA trying to improve the apps on this system (JYHU) and even making HW changes (myself included as I am primarily HW).
