I have developed an media app for android phone. I have to make that app compatible for android automotive (not auto). Can anyone please explain the steps required for this. I have checked the Android AOSP site, and my app does not require the car or the other apis mentioned on that site. (I don't know if those are required to make the app compatible)

There's now an Android Automotive emulator that you can try your app on, if you haven't already done so. – fejd Sep 02 '19 at 18:10

I don't think that there are any rules or constraints for implementation for Android Automotive provided yet.
There is a list of criteria for designing apps for Android Auto:
https://developer.android.com/docs/quality-guidelines/auto-app-quality
I would assume that for Android Automotive some of the criteria will be also applied as they concern UI and functionality from the driver's perspective.
NOTE: I think some guidelines might be defined soon since Google is finally going to support Android Automotive in Android Studio (similarly as they did for Auto).
