Google Assistant is car sick as key feature is broken after latest Android Auto update

Google Assistant is car sick as key feature is broken after latest Android Auto update،

If you use Android Auto and Google Assistant has been MIA (missing) lately, you're not alone. Some messages have been posted on the Android Auto Community Support page like this typical one written by “MaikGleisberg” who wrote: “Since January 27, 2024 (latest Android Auto update 11.2.6404), my voice control does not work when I connect my mobile to my car via Android Auto. I always get the “Oops, something went wrong” message after pressing the voice control button on the steering wheel or using the microphone button in Android Auto. It used to work wonderfully.

Using Google Assistant voice control makes things easier with Android Auto

This is a major deal because using voice control with Google Assistant typically lets you set destinations, start a phone call, control music, and more. The Android Auto user, who drives a Mazda 6 equipped with the MZD Connect infotainment system, says he tried the following fixes:

Restarting the mobile and automotive infotainment system
Deleted cache and data for Android app
Set infotainment to factory settings
Tried old version of AA: 10.8.1343
Android Auto 11.3.1405 beta installed

However, nothing worked.

If there's any good news here, it's that Google seems to be aware of the problem. A member of the Android Auto team had a few questions he wanted “MaikGleisberg” to answer. To be specific, the information requested by the Android Auto team member includes the following:

Android OS version:
Connection type (wired or wireless):
Google Play Services version: (Settings > apps (Or Apps and notifications > Application information) > Google Play Services)
Country:

It looks like Google will likely have to push out a new Android Auto update and it could be released within a few days. So if you use Android Auto, be on the lookout for this update. Also, come back with us often; As soon as we know the update is available, we will update this story and pass on the information to you.
