Yes
Works fine with me.
Yes, works just fine.
Yes, you need to make some tweaks in the settings, but then it works as with stock
I use gOS, but haven't tried ANDROID auto with it. Y'all running google play for it to work?
Back when I used GrapheneOS Android Auto wasn't available with it.
Great. Good to know for end of paper Bitcoin summer when I finally might buy car with this kind of tech :D.
Yep, works. You need to install sandboxed Google Play. You can activate Android Auto in the sandboxedd GP menu. Requires google maps and some permissions.
Can't get voice input to work. Is there a trick?
Works great. Just Remember to lock the bootloader before setting up everything 😅
Highly recommend. A fantastic experience. Google services available in a sandboxes way if you really need them, non+existant if you don't. There is no second best mobile os
I tried month ago, it didn't work. I just use Bluetooth. But it would be nice if it works...
Works fine, you just needs to pull out the phone every time to unlock it in order to start Auto.
I am avoiding the speech recognition. To me it feels awkward to use Graphene OS and allow Google to use the mic of my phone at the same time. Am I too paranoid?
Organic Maps also has a navigation feature, and works offline
I avoided it up until now too, but you can’t use it without , if you want to show maps on the big display in your car.
You don't even have to log into maps to use it. Additionally, you can restrict it a bit in the settings. When I set it up on Graphene I was following some privacy tutorial video ... But I can't find it anymore. Lately I've found @PayPerQ quite useful in helping me set up FOSS tech stuff.
I do not use Android Auto and have always wondered why all the hype about it. I do connect GOS phone to car for audio and handsfree Signal calling, this is good enough for me.
For navigation and maps I prefer an old-school Garmin GPS unit.
I never use Play Services or Location Services on phone for anything ever.
The nice thing would be to have maps on the big screen in the car instead of the phone display only.
Agree, don't like using phone for maps while driving, hence Garmin GPS unit as stated.
