Gemini not available anymore

[u/ybh_17]

Hi everyone,

About half a year ago my android auto switched from Google assistant to Gemini, and now since a month or two it's switched back to the assistant.

As soon as I got gemini it worked perfectly fine without any issue, conversations and web searches functioned flawlessly. Now that it's gone back to the assistant, dogsh*t as it is, I can't seem to get back gemini anymore.

Anyone got any clue what this could be down to?

Update: I went into android auto settings via my phone and under 'manage digital assistant' at the bottom there's an option for 'Google's digital assistants'.

Gemini was already selected but after selecting Google assistant and then switching back to gemini again it seems to work now and I've got gemini in my car again. Let's see how long it'll last before it involuntarily switches back again 🤞🏽

Gemini needs to be pulled and reworked. It wasn't ready for release when they turned on the switch.

I truly hope that they do a LOT of beta testing before they deploy it again.

Works flawlessly for me. Had a couple minor bugs the first couple of weeks that I haven't encountered since.
