From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

was it with wireless android auto and with after-market receivers like jvc?
TBH I don't remember if it was wired or wireless but my understanding is that GrapheneOS's implementation is essentially the same as what is included on stock android for Pixels, so both wired and wireless work (https://grapheneos.org/usage#android-auto).
I used it with a stock system so not aftermarket. Do you have any specific reason to believe aftermarket systems wouldn't work? If they support android auto you should be fine.
ALL of the internationally branded phones i've had (mostly chinese) had compatability quirks with my aftermarket jvc head unit.
if well known brands like xioami or oppo wasn't compatible, it seemed less likely that an enthusiast project would support it.
also: graphene is a non-start for me since it requires a pixel and i refuse to give google anything more than i already (unwittingly) have.
I would suspect GrapheneOS would be more likely to work than these, but you could always ask on the forum if anyone has any experience
