How bad is Android Auto for privacy on a stock Pixel phone. What can the car and car vendor get access to.
minus-square@mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.workscakelinkfedilinkEnglish5•3 days agoWireless android auto hasn’t worked with VPN’s for years. It’s because the service is now baked into the OS, preventing it from split tunneling. Switch to wired and it’ll work
minus-squareEbbylinkfedilink4•3 days agoI can get it to work if I whitelist the android auto app from my VPN.
minus-squareEbbylinkfedilink2•3 days agoI’m saying split tunnel is very similar to a whitelist and is available to some VPN’s. A split tunnel would also bypass the VPN. Also, while Android auto is a system app now, it is also identifiable by my VPN software and able to be whitelisted.
minus-square@Stowaway@midwest.sociallinkfedilink6•3 days agoYeah same experience for me. I assumed it was an issue with the routing table, but manually updating it didn’t seem to help. I assumed I was just not good enough at networking on android. I’d believe google would try to crap on that too though.
For me, wireless. Wired still worked through VPN.

Which means it isn’t using the VPN.
