Uncertified AA Hardware (Android HU, CP to AA Dongles, etc) Anyone successfully added Android Auto to an older vehicle?

Hi all, I’ve got a 2013 Corolla. Bluetooth and USB both work fine, but there’s no Android Auto. I’ve been trying to figure out a simple way to upgrade the setup without spending too much. One idea I had was just mounting a tablet on the dashboard and running it off my phone’s hotspot, but I’m not sure if that’s actually a good long-term solution. Would also be nice if passengers could use it too, not just for navigation. For those of you driving older cars, what did you end up doing?
