Google appears to be working on adding support for third-party dialer apps to Android Auto.
We’ve spotted evidence of the upcoming external dialer support in the latest Android Auto release.
Android Auto (https://www.androidauthority.com/what-is-android-auto-3190139/) currently supports Google’s Phone app for calls. It doesn’t give you access to third-party dialer apps (https://www.androidauthority.com/best-dialer-apps-contacts-apps-android-815908/), even if they’re set as the default phone app on your smartphone. As a result, there’s no way to use alternative apps like Truecaller, ACR Phone, or Drupe on your car’s screen. But that could change soon.
