I can get it to work if I whitelist the android auto app from my VPN.
Which means it isn't using the VPN.
I'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.
