7.🎙️ Issue: Microphone not working during Android Auto calls / No sound during calls

✅ Explanation:

Android Auto handles audio volume separately for different functions. Unlike CarPlay (which links all volumes together), Android requires manual adjustment for each mode.

📌 Common Causes and Solutions:

Call Volume Too Low:
- During a call, try using your phone’s volume up button.
- If you're not currently in a call, adjusting volume may only affect ringtone or media volume—not call volume.
Bluetooth Connection Matters:
- Android Auto still uses Bluetooth for phone calls, even when connected via USB or wirelessly.
- Make sure your phone is connected via Bluetooth to the stereo.
- Check if your car stereo shows a Bluetooth call icon during calls.
Media vs. Call Volume:
- Media volume (e.g., playing music via Bluetooth or Android Auto) is different from call volume.
- You must be on an active call to adjust call volume.
Mic is OK but Voice Not Heard?
- Double-check Android system permissions (Microphone access).
- Restart both your phone and the head unit.
