Really? Which car manufacturer officially provides you a root access to your vehicle?

That, or no company wants to assume liability. In which case, go whine to your local representative. That’ll be hilarious for all involved.

IF I had full source code to my car's radio I might try to add android-auto back in (it has android-automotive so I know it can do it), but if that isn't easy I'd probably give up. Without source code and a lot of time doing anything is impossible - as anyone else who works on complex software knows.
