Hello everyone!
Is there any alternative to android auto for a degoogled phone running microG?
I mean, one that can connect on " android auto ready” devices.
Working on GrapheneOS, but not a feature worth buying a new device for IMO.
I wish there was a way to hide play services apps from each other. I want to listen to audiobooks in Kobo while driving (i already own some) but the app doesnt support playback while Android Auto is running
This is my method. Yeah, it sucks I’m still running Google Play Services. But at least its sandboxed on GrapheneOS, restricted to a separate profile, and I only run that profile while driving. I have a mapping and music app in that profile and that’s all I need for a full AA experience.

Thanks everyone for the input. I have a motorola G84, so one can always dream in have grapheme on it.
I don’t think you’re going to get a perfectly working setup but it’s been done to some degree in the past: https://community.e.foundation/t/how-to-run-android-auto-without-google-apps/64578

I just connect to the stereo via BT and use the phone for maps and other visual aspects.
I tried the first method on a degoogled phone a few months ago. Doesn’t work 😕
Been meaning to try the second method.
No MicroG but GrapheneOS supports Android Auto.
