I’m on a quest to de-Google my life and that does include Android Auto. At the very least, I want to use more FOSS stuff if possible. I’m wondering if there’s any FOSS alternative to Android Auto.

Feel free to add your favorite de-googled alternative apps as well.

Edit: I’ve also been getting annoyed at the fact that my podcasting app of choice, AntennaPod, doesn’t extern its media controls to AA. Is there a fix for this such that I don’t have to keep reaching for my phone to pause an episode if I’m e.g. grabbing takeout?

Edit 2: a word

    You do make a good point that I hadn’t thought of (and need to think of more often) wrt hardware. I guess the next best thing that I’d look for is something that uses the SDK of Android Auto but isn’t made by Google and doesn’t send its data however anonymized to Google. And also FOSS is the goal if possible.
