    Can’t speak to apple but AndroidAuto basically only allows google apps on it already. I can’t take my third party map app and use that instead if google maps.

      I’m confused. Non google maps can run on Android auto and can even run on the Home Screen view. Same for CarPlay and alternatives to Apple Maps.

        I’m not sure what exactly the previous commenter said but map apps in particular only show up if installed through the Play Store. I found that out after trying to get Organic Maps working through F-Droid and Aurora Store. If you’re rooted you can change the app’s ‘installed from’ field to the Play Store and it will show up.

          My guess is that Google, like Apple, it’s pretty nervous about letting developers go crazy with UIs that are used while driving.

          I know that, for CarPlay, the approval process is more ridged than with a mobile or desktop app.

          My guess is that Google and Apple don’t want to be found liable for dangerous / distracting technology.

            Its only “Navigation” apps though, media and messaging apps work just fine in Android Auto from another source or sideloaded.
