Do privacy focused phones have such a service? What maps and music apps do they use if such a thing exists?

There’s OpenStreetMap for maps, and Bluetooth audio for music.

Android head unit that doesn’t have mobile data. You’ll basically have a full phone in your car but it doesn’t have any way to connect to Google
How does it connect to maps and streaming services then?

They can tether to your phones data

What prevents them from using tethered data to connect to the mothership?

A car sat nav, and something like GrapheneOS does hands free calling. Not sure if you can sync music through it as I haven’t tried yet.
I think the individual items are probably workable, but an integrated experience, possibly not.

There is no real alternative Only kinda alternatives by having a private maps Application

I think your best bet would be to get either a head unit that has full android on it or an Android tablet and then side loading the apps you would like to use

If you want an integrated setup you can either roll your own in car computer or use the apple stuff.
If you can tolerate the 90s style system then a secondhand gps (do your research) and an mp3 player connected to your stereo and the little clip that holds your phone in front of the vent works.
