      Fwiw when I switched the only thing that stopped working (with sandboxed google play services) was my govt weather app, and my Medicare app (but web browser access works fine…)

          Random detail on android auto that screwed me up for ages.

          When the car asks for a numeric code only when your phone is attached, the phone wants you to enter your unlock code.

          Android auto works fine on grapheme today. However they (google) are pushing some update soon and it keeps warning me it’ll stop working without the google update. I isolate it in its own profile for car.

              I haven’t tried the update yet and probably won’t until things stop working since I (a) don’t see why I would need an update when the things I use are all offline apps, and (b) I don’t trust google.
