    Yeah, but the problem is Android Auto is a closed system. There’s no reason my phone can’t display an app or play plex music while providing directions.

      It’s the same kind of deprecation you get with apps requiring a newer Android version. If Google adds new features to Android Auto that Android Nougat (7.x) can’t handle, then your apps won’t have any better time either. Likewise, if Google updates Android Auto but an app stops supporting 7.x and earlier, then that app will certainly break down the road.
