Android Auto De-googling (beehaw.org)

I'm on a quest to de-Google my life and that does include Android Auto. At the very least, I want to use more FOSS stuff if possible. I'm wondering if there's any FOSS alternative to Android Auto.

Feel free to add your favorite de-googled alternative apps as well.

Edit: I've also been getting annoyed at the fact that my podcasting app of choice, AntennaPod, doesn't extern its media controls to AA. Is there a fix for this such that I don't have to keep reaching for my phone to pause an episode if I'm e.g. grabbing takeout?

Edit 2: a word

Edit 3: It appears that apparently, AntennaPod doesn't work with Android Auto because I downloaded it with F-Droid and is signed with a different key, so Android Auto doesn't trust it. There is apparently a setting for Android Auto that enables unknown sources. I might try that out soon.
