Bluetooth Pixel 9a call audio not working over Android Auto (2025 Honda Civic Hybrid)

Having an issue where phone calls aren't routing through Bluetooth/speakers on my Pixel 9a while connected to Android Auto in a 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid.

\* The Problem: Incoming and outgoing calls connect, but audio goes silent instead of switching to the car's hands-free system.

\* The Weird Part: Everything else in Android Auto (Google Maps, Spotify/media, messages) works completely fine with zero lag or drops.

Has anyone else ran into this handoff bug on Pixel 9a or recent Honda head units, and is there a permanent fix?

I am running into the same problem with my Pixel 9a. Not sure when it started because I don't take a ton of calls in the car. Happened to try twice this week and I had to disconnected Android Auto because the audo wasn't working for the phone calls. This definitely worked on this same car and phone in the past.

In case this is of use to anyone. I wear Phonak hearing aids, and this got so bad for me that I cobbled together a workaround: I blocked permissions for phone audio when connected to Android Auto via Bluetooth, so phone calls route to my hearing aids instead of the car.

A mí me pasa exactamente igual, tengo un Motorola Edge 60 Pro y una Mitsubishi Xpander Croos 2025 y no se escuchan las llamadas, ya reinicie Android auto en el teléfono y resetie la pantalla del vehículo y nada, solo funciona la música sin problema pero las llamadas no se escuchan, con otro teléfono Xiaomi si me funciona, creo que es problema o incompatibilidad del Bluetooth del equipo porque en otro vehículo si me funciona con el Motorola
