Default Android Auto on pre-2021 LC's

Does anybody know of any dongles or media boxes that support Android Auto on pre-2021 LC's. The biggest issue I come across is they work for touchscreens and joystick controls but not trackpads. Are the modules that connect to the rear wiring harness successful? I found one shop that says they can make it work, but don't want to waste my time having them remove my dash just to install something that's costly and I'm not satisfied with. Only had the car for a week and loving everything about it, but I do enjoy my Android experience. Thanks in advance.

i've not read of any solution for pre-'21s to get AA.
and without trackpad integration, not sure how you'd operate it.

i have a '21 by the way and one reason i wanted it vs saving some on an older one so i could get AA. i also have a tiny indiegogo wireless android auto adapter plugged into the center console usb so i get wireless AA as soon as i get in the car.
