Hi! I've tried many methods to get CoMaps to work with Android Auto running GrapheneOS, but I just can't get A.A. to even recognize CoMaps exists. I tried a secret and hidden Android Auto settings menu and I tried redownloading CoMaps from Aurora instead of the apk... both to no avail. Does anyone else have pointers? Apologies if this isn't the right place to ask!

Installing via aurora will not help. AA still knows it wasn't installed via google play. The only work around I've heard about is to root your phone and use some tool to edit the install source. But I've not tried that myself.

Thank you. I appreciate the advice and expertise. I'll give this a shot tonight.

Update: Thank you. Using GPlay to install fixed my problem. In an effort to de-Google, it was an absolute last resort. Appreciate you, friendo.
