Not fully open source,
but less proprietary crap.
AA4MG (Android Auto 4 MicroG)
It allows to run Android Auto with:
That way the only proprietary thing you need,
is the actual Android Auto app,
not it's hand full of sketchy propriety dependencies.
Full disclosure: I helped develop AA4MG + AAXLU :)
Can it be redirected rather than empty? I tried to use 3rd party GPS software with Graphene + AA and it still forced me to install Google Maps for even the 3rd party software to work :-/ ... I do want GPS with traffic, I don't want Google knowing every move I make and using it to make their executives richer.
Is it any less of a privacy nightmare?
Yes
At this point I'll settle for that as long as it works with graphene, and more reliably than android auto. Even on my non graphene pixel android auto is less reliable than github.
