Leave a 1 star review for Volkswagen's apps on the Play Store asking them to stop banning GrapheneOS. Explain it's a far more secure operating system and fully possible for them to verify the hardware, OS and their app on it if they insist on doing it. It's far more secure than anything they allow.

@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social I think you might have answered this before, but is there any way to make your OS look different to applications to circumvent the ban?

@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social Hyundai and Kia added official GrapheneOS support to their apps months before Volkswagen banned GrapheneOS: I honestly do not care about VW, my last customer experience was utterly horrific. That company, Never ever again.

@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social I've been working as an external consultant for Volkswagen and they can't tell their arse from their elbow. No sane decisions will be made in their companies. (Nothing against the DEVs there. Fine people. But their management could fill several volumes of Dilbert-comics.)

@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social It seems that a decade after Dieselgate, some people have not quite twigged that VW is a conspiracy of monsters. It's not even as if there was something new in the whole concept of German industrialists doing really really shitty things with gases. Don't buy VW. OK?
