GrapheneOS Should Support Android Auto In Next Release (grapheneos.social)

Android Auto support for our sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer has been merged into GrapheneOS and should be available in the next release. It's currently going through final review and internal testing leading up to being able to make a public Alpha channel release.

The implementation uses the compatibility layer to eliminate most of the special privileges that are usually required. It provides 4 permission toggles for enabling different access for wired Android Auto, wireless Android Auto, audio routing control and phone call control.

No special access is granted by default. We've made subsets of the standard privileged permissions for these toggles for granting only minimal required access. Wired Android Auto is close to working with 0 special access required but not quite so it still needs a toggle.

It should and that's about the only reason holding me back from it.

This is great to hear! The lack of Android Auto support was pretty much the only thing stopping me from considering a Pixel+GrapheneOS. My Galaxy S10 still has some life left in it, but I'll probably consider replacing it with the Pixel 9 or 8a whenever those come out next year.

Same. I simply use auto too much, which sucks but it's reality.

Glad to see you're considering. :)

I don't use it. But seems like a deciding factor for a lot of people
