After I downloaded and applied the roonarc apk to get version 161, ARC disappeared from my Android Auto. Previously it had been available and I had used it regularly.

Build 161 is only available in Early Access and issues occurring after EA updates should be posted in EA, so moved this to #early-access

Note that if installing from APK, you will NOT get further updates through the Play Store and instead have to install updates by APK. For this reason, I personally prefer the Beta through the Play Store even if it takes a few days longer to appear.
I am not entirely sure that installing from APK requires to enable developer mode as well, the above instructions don’t mention it. I have had developer mode on my phone enabled forever, so I don’t know if APK installs would have failed without it. If you have to, here’s instructions:
