[Question] Android Auto/Carplay (or alternative) with Degoogled phone? (lemmy.ml)

I've been using GrapheneOS for over 2 years now. Love it. I cannot help but feel I'm missing out when i go on a road trip and have to constantly glance at my phone (OsmAnd~), instead of using the perfectly good display built into my vehicle.

Any good alternatives? I've considered using an old phone, or recently I've seen Android "AI Boxes". Both connect to the internet through bluetooth/hotspot on your phone. Not sure of the privacy implications or amount of Google in both.

Not looking for 3rd party screens or phone mounts as options.

Here's a similar post with a lot of comments. Hopefuly that's helpful. From what I can tell, it's TINA at the moment.

Thanks, yes this is a similar post. There doesnt seem to be a good way to take over the built-in screen unfortunately via any app i can just bluetooth or usb in.

I don't have a car and have no idea how these things work, so forgive me if I propose something useless...

Have you tried Magic Earth?

[–] Crabhands@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Looks good, i havent tried it but i will. Doesnt answer my question ,but useful nevertheless :)

Just get another phone to attach to the car. I have the very same issue of having an AA car and GrapheneOS. You can build GrapheneOS with AA patched in but ultimately it defeats the security of grapheneOS.
