Pretty sure VLC supports Android Auto.

Of course, Android Auto itself is not FOSS.

Thank you! I'll try out VLC for playing my offline music.

Yes, unfortunately I haven't been able to find a foss alternative for Android Auto. If someone happens to know one, I am open to recommendations.

Thanks for the input!

You might try enabling developer mode in Android auto. You can then force apps to work with Android Auto.
