It's in a 2026 Willys. I had been able to use the microphone to tell Android Auto to place calls to those on my contact list without a problem. Suddenly I started getting an error message every time. It starts up as normal saying "calling xxxxxx" then it says "Something went wrong".

I can initiate a call from the phone and have it come over the vehicles speakers, and use the built in microphone, it just won't place calls hands free.

Any suggestions?

I already tried forgetting and reconnecting the phone and clearing the Android Auto cache and storage.

I had to remove the phone from Uconnect and then add it again. Make sure you let it add your contacts.

Wired or Bluetooth? Occasionally I will have similar issues with my iPhone/ Carplay and the Bluetooth transmitter. I have to disconnect the bluetooth transmitter and basically let it reboot, then plug it back in.
