I'm a little too reliant on Android Auto and there really is no alternative other than Apple Car Play which is even more restrictive.
Does the Fairphone not support Android Auto with microg/opengapps/etc?
It doesn't support it natively. Fairphone uses /e/os and because it uses microg, android auto doesn't work directly.
From this thread, there would maybe be a solution, one answer directs to an xda developer post with magisk : https://community.e.foundation/t/android-auto-with-magisk/47472
However it needs some tinkering, and it may not be the easiest thing to do.
Is this really true? At least my Fairphone 3 came with stock Android and I had to reflash it to get /e/OS.
I think that they do have a partnership with Murena where they sell /e/OS pre-installed, but outside of that they should come with Android + Google Play Services.
yh, my fp4 came with stock android+google
@Tibert This make sense now to me...! I'm using lineageos, also using microG. I was wondering why Android Auto wasn't working.. but now I get it.
There are nightmare stories:
