Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 are end-of-life and shouldn’t be used anymore due to lack of security patches for firmware and drivers. We provide extended support for harm reduction.

So is there Android auto support now? If so, is there a documentation that lists what data is and is not protected when using Android Auto with GrapheneOS as opposed to stock Pixel
Yes, it does support Android Auto on the latest release. The implementation works with four separate toggles allowing different kinds of access. A list of what the toggles give access to appear when you try to toggle them on. Documentation on Sandboxed Google Play’s Android Auto implementation will also be added to the website in the future.
That’s great to hear. Do you need the Android Auto app for that? I’m only asking because GrapheneOS is my first Android in a while and I have never used Android Auto before
Yes, to use Android Auto, the Android Auto app has to be installed. It should be installed from the GrapheneOS Apps repository (app).
Amazing. Just waiting for the documentation now to see what data is collected with it. Granted I do not have a car with Android auto but probably will in the future
