Hello internet users. Someone in my family is looking to buy a car and wanted some recommendations for a private one. They are looking to buy new, and need Android Auto and CarPlay. I know all new cars suck for privacy by default, but I was hoping someone here could offer some insight as to which cars can be made better and what cars offer the best experience with minimal compromises on privacy and no subscription bs. I also have a Home Assistant instance that they can access remotely if there are any cars that can work well with that.

    Just buy a used car. Look for low KM and good climate rating.

    Why care for privacy when in the end your using android auto or apple play?

    And a home assistant breaks the point even further.

      Not a home assistant. Home Assistant™, the open source privacy focused home automation system.

      As I said, it is for a family member. I agree about buying used.

      I think android auto can be reasonably private with Graphene OS’s implementation.

      I don’t know what you are saying about Home Assistant.
