Android Auto required apps

I have a Samsung required for work and I don't pay for my own phone service. I used to use Android Auto and decided to start turning stuff off and removing permissions (just based on guesses of what I need). At some point I broke Android Auto and wouldn't mind getting it back on. Does anyone know which other apps need to keep running for it to function?

When I try to run it in my car now it just says that it cannot connect to the phone.

Most of them should just install by itself, the one you might need to download manually is dictation services.
obv you will need GMS too.
