If you are in the UK or EU there is an option . . curve pay (www.curve.com). I run it with a debit card on my FairPhone 3+ using /e/ with MicroG. Works perfectly for tap and pay.
Android Auto works fine for me. Contactless stuff works fine, if it’s not a a credit or debit card. For those, Google has to provide some kind of approval to your OS.
Everybody puts their phones in some kind of case. Put your credit card between it. You don’t even need the whole card. Just cut out the chip if you don’t need the card for cash withdrawal. (edit: the last part was stupid)
Android Auto works for me, and contactless payments work on an app-by-app basis but I agree that it’s a major pain point - I can hardly use contactless payments at all
Its ridiculous the steps that go into enabling it. When I first went contactless it was a fairly open system and was as secure as having the card in my pocket.
Someone needs to figure out contactless payment and android auto on Gos

Yeah its the use of my card that is the barrier. I dont want to carry anything other than my phone.

Ah crap. You are right. Was thinking about ye olde SIM card that has to be chopped down for the new device. But we are talking about NFC here. 🤦
