Rep Power: 0

Hi - first post here! I have a couple of issues with Android Auto. I have a 2018 Civic EX, and my phone uses Android 13, though these issues were present in Android 12 and 11 as well. When either connected wirelessly or wired, when I say "hey Google" the screen responds for a split second, then just reverts back to it's usual state. It does NOT do this when I press and hold the "speak" button on the steering wheel, when doing that it works fine. Second issue, when I receive and incoming Whatsapp or text message, and it prompts me to respond, when I dictate a response, Android Auto disconnects back to the Honda infotainment screen, then reconnects, with my response most of the time not being sent.
Any help would be appreciated, this is driving me crazy!

Thanks in advance.
