Will AndroidAuto work if installed from F-Droid or will I need to install the version from Google Play like Organic Maps?

It didnt for me. I installed Comaps from fdroid the other day, and it didnt come up on androidauto. I guess I could try installing it from the app store and see.

There's a setting hidden in Android Auto that let's you pick what apps to show. I think it's within the app's developer settings.

found it but was super limited. went into developer settings and enabled unknown sources but it didnt change the options. did some searches but cant find any way of really doing anything about it without rooting my phone. so meh.

Someone needs to develop an open source replacement for android auto and really stick it to Alphabet
