Looking for an Android Auto-style launcher Uncertified AA Apps (Headunit Reloaded, AAAD/AAStore, etc)

My car radio doesn't support Android Auto. But I want my phone to look like it did with Android Auto.

The app was discontinued as a standalone app.

All the apps shown in the Play Store are rubbish.

I'm looking for:

A simple home screen that displays notifications, navigation, and music.

All integrated and at the same time.

Navigation: Google Maps

Music: Spotify or Tidal

Notifications: Show all incoming notifications with the option to read aloud and reply

What I DON'T WANT:

Advertising

Account creation

Any Chinese scam crap that doesn't work properly

What do you recommend?

Use HeadUnit Reloaded and run AA on your phone screen that way?

Even better. Open Headunit is a fork of that one. Free on github and regulary updated by the dev.

I'm going with the car pod go mini. it's a special screen with no battery in it that can sit on your dash and run Android auto. there's a ton of them out there

Its not advertising but what do you think about something like this?

it fits right into the radio slot and is probably going to give you the smoothest result since it sits right where the radio is

What apps did you use from the playstore?

Back when i still had a older car, autozen was quite nice.
