Hello everyone! Is there any alternative to android auto for a degoogled phone running microG? I mean, one that can connect on " android auto ready” devices.

I don’t think you’re going to get a perfectly working setup but it’s been done to some degree in the past: https://community.e.foundation/t/how-to-run-android-auto-without-google-apps/64578

I just connect to the stereo via BT and use the phone for maps and other visual aspects.
I tried the first method on a degoogled phone a few months ago. Doesn’t work 😕
Been meaning to try the second method.
I use the second method on a phone using /e/OS, it works perfectly. I do not need any google app (maps, store, text to speech) to make it works.
Right on, that’s good to know. And you’re running totally degoogled?
Not totally. My wife started a shared google calendar a few years ago. So I use davx⁵ to synchronise my old gmail account (only the calendar part). One day, I’ll convert her to another solution.
As I use some applications from the play store (with the open-source frontend from e/os, applounge) , I had to activate a few options from microG.
Saving it to try later. Thanks!
