I started with graphene a few months ago and it worked from the beginning just following the instructions on the phone to enable it. That said I do recall aention of extra permissions for Bluetooth android auto, which I didn't want. My car doesn't support it over Bluetooth anyway so didn't matter to me, but you may be interested in looking that up (I don't recall the specifics).

    IIRC AA leverages Bluetooth to avoid audio conflicts and to further verify you're connected to the correct vehicle. Some setups use it to know when to power up/power down the vehicle's AA hardware. (At least, I have a dongle that does this, because the car is stupid and allows power to be drawn over its USB port when everything else is off.)

    It's optional and not really needed.
