    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
