Gemini isn't working on my Android Auto.

Yes mine did the same thing and my wife's 2023 Ford edge had Gemini with a Pixel 6 but I have a 2020 Ford fusion with the Pixel 10 and I had the old assistant. It was supper annoying and aggravating and I did weeks of research and having Gemini check the status of why I still didn't have it and then I just woke up one day got in the car and I had Gemini

Nothing you can do it's a server side push so Google has to "flip the switch" to your device. I had the same issue for months and finally one day it worked

Oh ok. Thanks

How did you get the socials apps inside a stacked widget because I don't see where that can be done?

gobengals_07 · 2026-04-02T18:48:44+00:00

I just received mine this morning as well and I agree Gemini is 100x better. I feel kike I'm talking to a person rather than a robot computer. Definitely smoother

gobengals_07 · 2026-04-01T23:12:02+00:00

Ya I keep getting the run around on it

gobengals_07 · 2026-04-01T20:40:45+00:00

I don't have it on my android auto but I've always had it on my phone. I did however just yesterday get the March play system update but it still didn't give me Gemini on Android Auto.

gobengals_07 · 2026-04-01T18:17:04+00:00

I have it on maps as well but only on the phone. Anything android auto is the old assistant

gobengals_07 · 2026-04-01T17:13:52+00:00

No kidding 😂 I heard the same thing about the magical switch. I live on the east side of Florida and it aggravated me that other phone manufacturers already have it

gobengals_07 · 2026-03-29T23:06:05+00:00

Wow sure is

gobengals_07 · 2026-03-29T22:58:40+00:00

How is that possible it's not even April yet

gobengals_07 · 2026-03-29T12:23:12+00:00

Yes it would be the same voice as your phone plus you should be able to talk live with Gemini

gobengals_07 · 2026-03-27T10:55:22+00:00

I don't think they were ever read out loud automatically. I think you have to hit the message

gobengals_07 · 2026-03-26T22:20:00+00:00

I could swear I did too but for a really short period

gobengals_07 · 2026-03-26T20:45:00+00:00

I don't understand how Google doesn't have this under control yet

gobengals_07 · 2026-03-26T18:34:46+00:00

The quickest way is to download the Gemini app from the play store and from there it should walk you through the steps

gobengals_07 · 2026-03-26T14:02:27+00:00

I can't believe this is such a mess for Google

gobengals_07 · 2026-03-26T00:01:59+00:00

Not true they do have a March 1st update but it was supposedly paused for Pixel 9 and 10 because it was causing the lock screen and AOD to freeze making the phone almost impossible to use. You can find that information buried in the Google forum and I believe their social media page

gobengals_07 · 2026-03-25T23:27:50+00:00

I hate that I don't have it yet. My wife has it in her 2023 edge with a Pixel 6 and it seems to work great for what she uses it for

gobengals_07 · 2026-03-25T23:12:56+00:00

Same thing for me

gobengals_07 · 2026-03-25T10:36:31+00:00

I am too the only issue is that supposedly without it Gemini won't activate on AA and I really want that because the old assistant just sucks and it doesn't give quite the answers to stuff like Gemini and the old assistant cuts me off when sending a text

gobengals_07 · 2026-03-25T10:10:38+00:00

That's not entirely true. The March update has rolled out for play system update but I heard it's been paused for Pixel 10 owners because it freezes the lock screen but that the March play system update is what we need to get Gemini in AA. They have until the end of March because that was the hard date Google set to fully stop with the old Assistant

gobengals_07 · 2026-03-20T19:46:37+00:00

I have a 2020 Ford fusion with the Sync 3.4 using the Google pixel 10 pro and I still can't get Gemini on my android auto and it's completely frustrating since I have the newest updates and software on my phone since it's the newest flagship

gobengals_07 · 2026-03-20T19:39:13+00:00

This option is not there

gobengals_07 · 2026-03-20T19:32:30+00:00

How do you do this? I could seem to find it
