      Android auto also works fine for me. I haven’t used an android phone in years so I can only compair it to apple car play. There are extra configuration steps to make it work but its not hard (just have to read some messages and go through some menus)

      Apple car play “just works”.

          I’m not touting apple. Its just a fact.Graphene has you check boxes so you know you’re giving permissions to your car. It informs you what information you’re giving to android auto. And, if you’ve installed apps through alternate sources, you do have to go through developer mode in Android Auto to enable apps from alternative sources. It takes less than 5 mins and you only have to do it once, but if you don’t, you’ll end up thinking android auto is broken in graphene, like the poster I was responding to believed.

          I don’t think there is a better solution for graphene - it works fine after minimal setup. I’d gladly do that to preserve my privacy when it matters.

          Apple doesn’t give a shit about informing you what it does with your info so it doesn’t do that. I’m not saying its better I’m just being honest. Its quick and dirty.
