Haha, I can see how that can be frustrating, especially because it seems like GrapheneOS provides a lot of value for lots of people minus those two features. After buying a car with Android Auto I have never bought a car without it. OEM car integration usually is very lacking especially when it comes to navigation. I wish there were open source alternatives to android auto. Thank you for the respectful response :)

I appreciate the effort and have also verified your analysis myself to be true. However, and I don’t know if it’s just me, but I don’t see any images attached to your comments.

I’m thinking of starting my own community here analogous to a subreddit that has not migrated. Do you have any tips or advice for someone starting out? My biggest fear and the only thing holding me back is nobody showing up :(

edit: I think it’s important to mention I don’t have moderation experience, but there’s a first for everybody and I’m willing to commit the time and effort to maintain a community.

double edit: looks like I confused your OP tag for a mod tag. In either case, I am open for anyone that might have any type of advice.

I believe that’s what “defederation” is. It’s when a server decides to no longer import or share content with another instance.

Thank you for the helpful links and the insight! Much appreciated! I see how the deep integration hardware integration of Android Auto makes it challenging to run it in a compatibility layer.

Before switching OS’s I need to know if it’s compatible with the features that I value. It’s okay if you don’t value the same features as I do, but there’s no reason to be both rude and provide no useful information at the same time.

This, and Google Pay/Wallet would be the deciding factor for me

my guess is so google can use this data for analytics for their operating system since it collects OS version too
