Is there an alternative to Android Auto that doesn't share everything with Google? - eviltoast

Do privacy focused phones have such a service? What maps and music apps do they use if such a thing exists?

    It’s not a 100% solution, but many head units will have hdmi input, but you might have to accidentally install the head unit in a way that bypasses the parking brake interlock for it to work while driving. Most phones can utilize a USB-C to hdmi adapter for screen mirroring, although touch data won’t be sent to the phone.

      Apple Car Play won’t share anything with Google as long as you don’t use Google apps on the iOS device. 🤣

      Edit: meant to reply to OP.

        Just curious, can Google apps still do cross app tracking if you check the do not track option on ios devices?
