It doesn't support it natively. Fairphone uses /e/os and because it uses microg, android auto doesn't work directly.
From this thread, there would maybe be a solution, one answer directs to an xda developer post with magisk : https://community.e.foundation/t/android-auto-with-magisk/47472
However it needs some tinkering, and it may not be the easiest thing to do.
Is this really true? At least my Fairphone 3 came with stock Android and I had to reflash it to get /e/OS.
I think that they do have a partnership with Murena where they sell /e/OS pre-installed, but outside of that they should come with Android + Google Play Services.
yh, my fp4 came with stock android+google
@Tibert This make sense now to me...! I'm using lineageos, also using microG. I was wondering why Android Auto wasn't working.. but now I get it.
