Pretty sure VLC supports Android Auto.

Of course, Android Auto itself is not FOSS.

Thank you! I'll try out VLC for playing my offline music.

Yes, unfortunately I haven't been able to find a foss alternative for Android Auto. If someone happens to know one, I am open to recommendations.

Thanks for the input!

What is Android Auto? I thought it only makes your phone act like a USB to share files right to your computer

Android Auto is the Android equivalent to Apple CarPlay. I.e., it mirrors your Android phone screen onto your car display.
