How bad is Android Auto for privacy on a stock Pixel phone. What can the car and car vendor get access to.

I mean, if your car is that old I'm guessing it probably doesn't have Android Auto anyways. There's probably a pretty small overlap between those that have it and those that don't sell data.

People install aftermarket stereos in their cars. Mostly in older vehicles, because trying to replace it in the new vehicles tends to be a disaster.

Installed a sony screen. I'm tempted, but don't want to share the data.
