Is there an alternative to Android Auto that doesn't share everything with Google? (lemmy.ml)

Do privacy focused phones have such a service? What maps and music apps do they use if such a thing exists?

I think your best bet would be to get either a head unit that has full android on it or an Android tablet and then side loading the apps you would like to use

a head unit that has full android on it

Is that still a thing these days?! I feel like I haven't seen one in many years. Everything seems to just integrate Android Auto instead.

I'm sure it's still possible on certain cars, but they're getting harder and harder to find as more and more companies move from the standardized head unit sizes and over to the tablet-style interfaces.
