Brilliant, it worked like magic! Incredible work and team GOS!
When the issue began, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling AA on my pixel 7a. After reinstall, AA simply doesn't connect to my toyota head unit. The car keeps popping up with a warning saying the time on the device does not match. Anyone know about this?

The exact text of the warning might be useful.

Certainly. The error reads as follows:
"The time on your vehicle system does not match the time on your android phone. Please move your vehicle to a location where it can receive GPS signal so the clock is set automatically"
It's worth noting that the clock has indeed been set automatically. Googling shows other people with this error both on GOS and stock Android, but I can't find a solution.

I appreciate you taking a look for me. I did try the recommendations in that thread as well as several others. From what I've seen, this is a general connection/incompatibility/security error, but this only means that identifying the actual cause will be more difficult.
Donated2562 I did try the recommendations in that thread as well as several others.
Based on what I read, I would probably try something like this:
- Disable the Android Auto app in Settings
- In settings, clear cache and storage for Android Auto
- Uninstall Android Auto
- Once Android Auto is uninstalled, tell the car to forget the phone and tell the phone to forget the Bluetooth pairing with the car
- Make sure both car and phone have the correct time
- Reinstall Android Auto (granting permissions etc.)
- Try connecting Android Auto to car with a USB cable
- Only then try Bluetooth/Wi-Fi
But I am not an Android Auto user; the suggestions are just my distillation of what I think I saw online.
Thank you, this is very actionable. I will try all of these once back in the car.
For clarity, it is the wire connection specifically that doesn't work. I can play audio over BT, but obviously, overusing wireless defeats the purpose of GOS.
Out of curiosity, what permissions do you grant AA? I only enable notifications and (since this thread) microphone.

Thank you for all your help. After everything, it turns out that the solution lurked in a settings menu in sandboxes google play services.
For anyone else reading this who also doesn't read the fine print, go to settings, apps, sandboxes google play services, android auto, and toggle on USB access permission and audio permission.
Donated2562 Thanks for reporting back! I'm glad it worked out.

Using the latest version of GrapheneOS (20250205) I still facing the "no audio" issue. Any hints?
Note:
- wired connection permission: ON
- wireless connection permission: OFF
- Android-Auto microphone permission: OFF
Test: I tried to have a Signal/Whatsapp message read out loud, clicking on the car display's "Read this message" does nothing
What else should I check?
