It works. If you want to not install the required google apps (maps, TTS), you can use this tutorial, worked for me : https://community.e.foundation/t/how-to-run-android-auto-without-google-apps/64578.

Aberkane is definitively on an other level. That’s why I wished it was about him.

While reading the title, I thought it was about Idriss Aberkane. It is about Etienne Klein.

I use lawnchair. From f-droid.

Fossify launcher is good and simple too. (Also on f-droid).

but I can offer some de-googling friendly additions which I developed/contributed to :)

Thank you so much for your work !!! It made things so much easier for me when I started degoogling !!

I use a “degoogled” ROM with microG. And I use android auto “without” the play store.

By using the following tuto and without root, I’m able to use android auto without having its dependencies installed ( play store, maps, google tts…)

It’s not an open source alternative to android auto, but it limits greatly the interaction with google. I have comaps and osmand from fdroid that works in the android auto app this way.

If you have google apps on your phone, maybe you can uninstall or deactivate the dependencies for AA, and follow the tuto, there is a chance that it works.
