Hi

Does anyone have a workaround for this issue? The assistant works fine on my phone, but when I press within Android auto, I get the above message. I have checked permissions and from what I can see it has what it needs to function.
I spend a lot of time in my car, and whilst it's not a deal breaker, I do much prefer asking Google to Call XX rather than swiping whilst driving or sending a message.

    I have the same issue. It was working for me in the first versions of Android Auto available for GOS, but I think an upgrade a while ago broke it. I do have the Google app installed and Assistant works correctly outside of Android Auto.

      Its usually a permissions issue, you need to give network and mic access to Android auto, Google app and some others, the sandboxed google play section tells you what you need :)
