Searching for vehicle trip logbook / mileage tracker / trip log?

[GermanCivic]

Can someone recommend an Android app, which will automatically track all trips (distance, driving time, average speed etc.).
Not for the phone, I want to install it on my head unit, I have Honda Hack running by the way.

No immediate recommendations, but some comments:

It's going to really limit your options to use the Headunit as I believe HU is Android 4.2.2

That said once you see something that looks interesting, you can usually find the APK on http://apkpure.com and other such sites... where they will tell you exactly what version is required. Lots of things are at least 5.x but once in a while you get lucky

Captain Obvious: Distance obviously you can get with the Oodometer and A/B trip meters. I believe HondaHack or the vehicle settings even has some option regarding resetting (or not) those per drive.

I forget if the Info screen on the headunit tracks stuff long term, certainly it does current trip and gas mileage... I think average speed?

One consideration on Driving Time, which may not be important to you... Do you want Time in the Car, or Time spent Moving ? Certainly when it comes to Sports trackers etc, you can usually choose whether to ignore speeds < 5 km/h ... like if are you are sitting at a red light or parking lot etc.

My approach would be check out some listicles like the one below
... even better if you can find old articles

then dig into what version each app supports
(even try the older version APKs)

this one is more business focused, but still might see something you like

Curious what people suggest or you can turn up

Thought I had one for you off that list (Fuelio) but it looks like minimum is Android 6+
e.g.

PS.
A random suggestion: you might consider picking up a cheap Android device with a somewhat newer software version, and then just dedicate that to your Car Tracker device. eBay etc.
e.g. You just leave it in the car, perhaps in your console and it just runs your app of choice... the only issue is that the device battery will often go flat if you leave it in the car in cold weather, unless you work out something in that regard
