Yes it's proprietary and depends on a lot of Google services. Usually if you want it on a custom ROM, you need to use the full GApps packages. No Android Auto on smaller GApps packages.

It works with microG but you still need the proprietary Auto app.

Do you need to root your phone for that? Or is it possible without rooting? Afaik Auto app has to be installed in priv-app

Thanks. I tried an experiment recently, how long can I live without rooting. This is finally a reason to install magisk again.

Never tried microG, so that's good to know.

microG doesn't work on GrapheneOS, because it requires root privileges for basic functionality. The Sandboxed Google Play implementation in GrapheneOS is far superior.
