    I’d have rather seen Google Pay support than Android Auto though I imagine it’s a lot less feasible.

        Would they? Why? I’m asking as I’m unaware of what restrictions are in place for it to work.

        Edit: i meant to ask: “would they have to approve it?”

          They would not. Best case scenario is that you can trick Google into thinking your device/OS is legit. It’s of no benefit to them to in any way compromise the security of their highly sensitive payments app.

      Google Pay support

      I can not comprehend this. Ditching Google is why I yearn for alternatives to stock Android.

        Here’s an example and why I’m not on a custom ROM. My job has “restaurant credit” as one of the benefits. That’s 200 euros a month in a card that can only be used through Google/Apple pay.

        So either I skip the money or I need a second phone with me all the time.

          It may be possible to convince them to offer that another way, if you care about software freedom and they care about what you value.

                    Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:

                    A ZIP Code is a system of postal codes used by the United States Postal Service (USPS). Introduced on July 1, 1963, the basic format consisted of five digits. In 1983, an extended ZIP+4 code was introduced; it included the five digits of the ZIP Code, followed by a hyphen and four digits that designated a more specific location. The term ZIP is an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan; it was chosen to suggest that the mail travels more efficiently and quickly (zipping along) when senders use the code in the postal address. ZIP Code is a trademark and ZIP+4 is a registered trademark of the United States Postal Service, which also registered ZIP Code as a service mark until 1997.
