Is it possible to run fdroid on there?

It's not about that, fdroid or whatever other store will only solve installation, deployment and updates.
Android auto apps have to have google play as their origin to even appear as android auto apps.

Google has blocked all custom apps on Android Auto

Uhm, there's a bit of confusion on Android Auto support, and I have some remarks to make, so I'll explain Android Auto compatibility as exhaustive as possible.

There are some categories of apps for Android Auto that falls into the ones I'm numbering:

  1. Messaging
  2. Media playback
  3. Custom
  4. Navigation
  5. Parking
  6. EV Charging

With the last 3 that literally today recieved the official SDK for.

The only ones of this lists that are actually blocked are custom apps. Those apps rely on a custom SDK made by martoreto that was actually blocked with a Google Play Services update. The workaround to make them work is to patch Google Play Services database.

Let me get straight to the point: as of now, the apps that fall into the first two categories are not GMS-dependant, they can be sideloaded, and in case they are not distributed on Google Play Store, they just need the activation of unknown sources in Android Auto to make them work (no patch needed, no root needed).

I can't say the same of last three categories, because, as I said, the SDK literally came out today.

The official documentation to add support to Android Auto is here: https://developer.android.com/training/cars/media/auto

There's actually a fair example of various apps that are not distributed on Google Play Store, they don't have any GMS library and they have support for Android Auto.

GTA Radio: https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidAuto/comments/gnwikk/new_and_improved_grand_theft_auto_radio_app_for_aa/
AnyAutoAudio: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-auto-general/app-anyautoaudio-audio-app-auto-t3607916

TL;DR: Android Auto support for NewPipe is technically possible and it's not restricted at all.

May I ask, according to newer commits, by @haggaie there seems to be some work on android auto. In the f-droid version of this app, I can't see newpipe on my android auto, even though I have downloaded the latest version. Am I missing something? Should I enable something to be possible? The only reason I need it is to be able to "remote control" the music I listen to my car, as a "background playback". I too have no interest in videos or anything like this. I just want to be on the safe side, and skip a song, or change the playlist or so, when I am driving, just what I do with other music apps I have installed.

In any case, a huge thank you for this awesome app.

Hi @teras, the pull request I've been working on hasn't been accepted and merged yet, so the official release on F-droid wouldn't have it's changes. In addition, enabling android auto for a sideloaded app like NewPipe requires enabling this in the android auto developer options.
