Is it at all possible to use Android Auto in a car that only supports Apple CarPlay? - eviltoast

I might be completely misunderstanding the way Android Auto/CarPlay function. They’re both essentially just screen projections from your phone to the in-car display, right?

Since my car only supports CarPlay, is there any way for me to “trick” it into thinking I have an iPhone plugged in and get it to allow my phone to display the Android Auto interface on the screen instead?

    I’m not sure back when I bought mine there was only one model. When I plug mine in, I can set it to android auto or Apple carplay, but it doesn’t matter because my android auto phone interfaces with it just fine on either setting
