The data that I have seen indicates that android users out number iPhone users in the United States. Given that, I am perplexed that Porsche does not include android auto in its Porsche connect and Porsche connect plus systems. As an android user, I am interested in starting a movement to convince Porsche to add android auto to these packages. Any suggestions?

@trusted and say get an iPhone for the car if you're really dead-set on integrating a phone via its own software. But I'll also add this insight:
Please read this Mashable article, which describes why Porsche rejected Android Auto in 2015. I'm glad you're a Google fanboy, OP, but Google overreached here in the eyes of Porsche and paid a price. Important to note is that VW AG, Porsche's parent company, isn't the one that rejected Android Auto: Porsche did.
As recompense, Porsche allowed Google Earth functionality alongside its OEM Nav in PCM3 and PCM4, but that agreement is ending at the end of this year. Because of that, and because of changes in Android Auto and Google user data mining since 2015, I would expect Android Auto to be available in Porsches for the 2019 model year.
