However, with the help of Headunit Reloaded Emulator (an app I found thanks to How-To Geek), you can override Google's decision and get Android Auto back on your phone. You can also beam the Android Auto interface to another Android phone or tablet. It's a $4.99 purchase, but it works as advertised—or at least it did with the Pixel and Galaxy phones I was using. If you don't have an Android Auto-compatible dashboard in your car, you can use this to get the same experience on your main handset or on a spare phone or tablet you've got.
As always, remember the dangers of using your phone while driving. This is specifically for emulating Android Auto on a screen other than your built-in head unit—the other functions on your phone should stay unused until you're safely parked up.
Setting up Headunit Reloaded Emulator
Tap Phone Mode to get Android Auto on your handset's own screen. It might not look great at first due to the cramped display size, but if you turn your phone around to its landscape orientation it should fit nicely. Any taps on the screen register just as they would on Android Auto, and you can switch apps and change the layout via the icons down the side.

These cover everything from pixel density and screen margins to key press configurations and audio routing—you can pipe the audio from apps through your car's speakers via Bluetooth if you want, even if the Android Auto interface is on your phone.
Connecting to another device
The USB option is easier, if you've got a cable to spare and are happy to keep both devices hooked up during the course of your drive. Connect the cables, then on the device running Headunit Reloaded Emulator, tap the USB option on the main screen and select your main phone when it appears. On your main phone, you may need to tap the USB notification and choose Transferring files / Android Auto as the connection mode before it works.
Connecting to a secondary device over USB. Credit: LifehackerBy default, both devices need to be on the same wifi (your car's built-in wifi for example). You can also use a direct wifi connection: select it under Wireless in Wi-Fi Launcher, and under Settings > Connectivity in Headunit Reloaded Emulator. One device will then drive Android Auto on the other—no connecting wires needed.
