What is the combination of permissions that I need for Android auto voice commands to work (lemmy.world)

Hello! I recently purchased a pixel 10 and installed grapheneOS on it and so far everything has been great. The only issue I am having is what I stated in the title. When I think I have the correct permissions and try to send a text through Android auto, the assistant responds with "sorry, who are you trying to message?" as if I can't parse the name spoken to a contact. It does have contact permissions as does the google app. The only other thing I can think is that I am using the Fossify contacts app for contacts and I know that in some cases there is a difference between apps installed via the google play store vs elsewhere. Thanks

I expect the NextCloud bit may be playing games a part in all this too.

But next question in my mind: when you recv a message while hooked up to Android Auto on your car, does their contact show up then? Sounds like it does, but just want to be sure.

If Auto can read the incoming number and associate it with the contact, then that should say its not a "Android auto doesn't have access to the proper database issue".

Side note: Lol, I'm getting usually bought into your issue. I think its because I've found something that's always been a black box to me and this is an opportunity to learn. In any case, I use Fossify for my main contacts app. Its been....fine...so haven't bothered looking for a better solve and so also hoping this research helps me too, I think.

No actually it does not. But I also realized that I do not have SMS permission enabled for Android auto. I did at one point, but I also got frustrated at one point and wiped out Auto, Google, whatever other dependent apps to try and start over.

It's just a tad annoying to try something because I have to go from my computer where I am doing the research, over to my car, turn it on, connect my phone, etc... in order to try anything.

Edit: Interestingly, even though I had Gmail installed, my google account was NOT in the listed accounts on the phone. I've since added it, but that didn't help the situation any. I also don't seem to have an option to sync contacts in there. I have also tried installing Google's contact app for good measure and still nothing.

Edit Edit: I have in the past gotten the response "Oops something went wrong" (that the github issue mentions) from the voice assistant, but that has cleared up after adding certain permissions (I don't remember which ones).
