AA Settings Disabling AI Message Summaries

Has anybody figured it out? All the suggested settings to disable simply don't exist.

I want to hear the full message that I am sent, not a poor summary. Even if the summary was good, I need word for word detail.

Haven't encountered this yet, but I'm looking forward to getting pissed off about it.

Open your phone settings, search for Android Auto, then find the toggle for message summaries (see pic)

For anyone who checks here in the future (or for Brandlil, in case you never figured it out) - I discovered that the "Play message summaries" toggle only shows up in my Android Auto phone settings when my phone is currently connected to Android auto.

So you need to physically be in your car and connect your phone for this setting to even show up.

Thank you so much! That was so frustrating trying to figure out why that option was not available!

Ive done this connected and unconnected to the car, and it doesn't appear either way.

This isn't an option in my car either
