There's some things we just take for granted. Set it up and it just happens and we don't even blink.
The other day I was in the car and got a call and just hit answer on my watch, not even noticing that the car's phone system wasn't ringing. Took me a bit to realize that I wasn't hearing the person over the speakers.
At the next chance I pulled in to a parking lot to see if I could figure out why it didn't connect.
My phone said it was having difficulties to connect to BT and I should turn the device off then on again (hello, IT ...). I turned off the engine and restarted it and it still wouldn't show connected automatically.
Trying to force the connection wouldn't work.
I thought maybe it was the use of the new 'spatial audio' feature and disabled it for the car. No luck.
Eventually, I just turned off the display of the dash and turned it back on - the BT wouldn't auto connect, but I could go into settings and tell it to connect and it would.
It's worked like that for the last few days for me. So it's a bit of a workaround (if I remember to do it) until Google fixes this issue as it seems pretty widespread with other Pixel users as well.
If you have the same issues, try as I'm doing:
Turn the car on
- wait until you know that the BT didn't connect
- turn off your radio/display/dash
- turn it back on
- go into BT settings and choose '+Connect'
Should be working now
