That would be highly unlikely. Most infotainment systems either run Android Auto or CarPlay if they’re very new “fancy” (for lack of a technical term) models, or custom embedded firmware for everything else.

you’re right, maybe it’s a proprietary operating system… Maybe in the car manual the license for the Linux kernel can be found?? Oh that would be my dream!!

It’s kind of useless if they won’t let you root it / install your own customized version.

Many infotainment systems actually run Windows CE Automotive.

Or… you cleverly used Cunningham’s Law.

🤫 I was thinking of that actually! But I couldn’t remember the term, just the general meme of “If you’re unsure of whether you’re correct, post it on the Internet and you’ll be corrected” ha!
