Is android auto still available with Graphene? AA is genuinely one of the few life-changing features introduced in the last decade that I'd prefer not to go without.

Yep and works flawlessly via USB for me. That was a deal breaker for me for the longest time too.

Allowing it to connect over Bluetooth requires granting AA plenty of additional permissions which I didn't want to do (but hey, on GOS at least you can muzzle that thing).

Mostly works, some stuff doesn't. The worst thing that doesn't work is alternative maps (e.g. OsmAnd).

Organic Maps works. I have not tried any other alternative. You may have to enable developer mode in the Android Auto settings, then enable Unknown Sources in the developer settings.

I like the idea of graphene, but I worry my banking / brokerage apps wouldn't work anymore and that'd be a deal breaker

Doesn’t that defeat the point of using an app at all? Use a computer at that point.

No, because some apps are mobile only, and only work on phones "certified" by Google or Apple.

If you need mobile check deposit, you can only do that from a mobile device.

Yes! I run graphene, but still don't connect it to my android auto capable car.

The ability to control network connectivity for apps (and sensors) is really the killer feature for me. Maybe I'll give android auto a shot if I can figure out how to keep it from outside comms.
