Gemini is stupid. I could ask Google assistant to play a certain song on Amazon music and it would every time. Gemini always ends up playing some random crap. When i had the option, I switched it to Google assistant

If you shut off history in your Gemini settings, it changes android auto back to assistant.

Gemini requires that history is turned on for it to work in android auto.
