I have to use either the steering wheel button or pressing the microphone to give commands to android auto for navigation. The wake up hey google does not work. Hey google only works when using Bluetooth audio, but not Android auto in my car. My older 2018 Accord EXL used to work with hey google in Android Auto. Is there something wrong with my car or is this normal behavior for the 2024 Accord EXL hybrids?
I am using a Samsung s23 ultra as my phone. I have android auto set to work with hey google enabled in my settings.
Thanks for your help.

 

My android phone is not a fan of my 2018 Accord EX-L

 

I’ve experienced the same issue with Android Auto and "Hey Google" not working properly, especially when trying to use voice commands. One thing I’ve found useful in these situations is using a hands-free auto-reply app to make sure I’m not distracted while driving. It’s been a great solution for responding to messages without touching my phone. You can Learn more about the app. It also features a Driving Mode Auto Responder App, which automatically handles text responses while keeping you focused on the road.
