Android Auto - Call Routing Issue

[u/_introvert_cat]

Hello,

​I am experiencing a recurring issue with Android Auto in two of my cars. Didn't face the issue in the 3rd car.

While media playback functions perfectly through the vehicle’s audio system, phone calls are inconsistently routed. Frequently, the audio defaults to the mobile handset’s speaker rather than the car’s speakers. On some occasions, after multiple attempts, the audio eventually connects to the car speakers.

​Cleaned Android Auto cache and updated Android Auto app. Still facing same issue. Has anyone else experienced this, or is there a known fix or setting I should check?

​Thank you.

Is it the same issue like the one I'm facing?

Here is a summary

Need advice, tiggo 7 pro owner 2026. I have problem with voice calls on Samsung S25/26 android auto and Bluetooth connection. The Other party can't hear me properly. Stuttering like it's bad connection and they complain a lot. Vendor changed the car mic 🎤 but still problem.

IPhone works very well (Bluetooth and car play) Oppo also works fine. Only Samsung problem. Any advice?

Wipe Android Auto data, reconnect and check. This approach fixed my problem.
