X is basically the only option left.

- Comment on Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto? 1 month ago:
Best thing to do is remove google play services if at all possible. Installing microg will solve most issues. This of course means rooting the device. Which is admittedly not an easy task when dealing with head units.
