- MSFT_Edging 5mo agoIs 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.
- subscribed 5mo agoYep 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).
- throw_a_grenade 5mo agoMostly works, some stuff doesn't. The worst thing that doesn't work is alternative maps (e.g. OsmAnd).
- Quentangle 5mo agoOrganic 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.
- wing-_-nuts 5mo agoI like the idea of graphene, but I worry my banking / brokerage apps wouldn't work anymore and that'd be a deal breaker
- drnick1 5mo agoThe Graphene community maintains a list of compatible banking apps. Another possibility is to keep an old/cheap, stock Android phone at home with WiFi only for apps like this.
- monkpit 5mo agoDoesn’t that defeat the point of using an app at all? Use a computer at that point.
- drnick1 5mo agoNo, because some apps are mobile only, and only work on phones "certified" by Google or Apple.
- RussianCow 5mo agoIf you need mobile check deposit, you can only do that from a mobile device.
- nurple 5mo agoYes! 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.
