Phone calls not coming through speakers but Android Auto audio is

[jefrank]

Haven't found anyone having this issue, so I'm not too hopeful for a solution, but here goes...

When using Android Auto on my '22 Lariat with a Pixel 8 Pro everything is working as expected except that when I make or receive a phone call it transfers the call to my phone rather than using the speakers and mic in the truck - a serious issue in a hands-free state. It used to work and I'm not quite sure when it stopped, but my best guess is that the recent Sync update is the the breaking point. I've removed the phone and readded it to the vehicle with no change. If I go into phones, select my phone, and try to connect audio, the truck tells me that the phone isn't responding, whether plugged into the USB-C port or wireless. Am I missing a setting in Android Auto or in the truck somewhere?

I'd try a phone reset and a Sync reset. Maybe it's just a glitch. To do a Sync reset press and hold the down volume and skip ahead buttons on your steering wheel until the center screen goes blank.
