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

So just to keep documenting what I've been doing... I blanket assigned all permissions to Android auto and dependency apps and that still did not resolve the issue, so it is probably safe to say that it is something with the way I'm handling contacts. I just don't know how to correct it.

I did find one Android setting that I thought would do it called "contact storage", that was not set, that had options to pick certain accounts or "device only". I played around with different selections in there and it did not solve the issue.

At this point I'm sort of out of ideas as I don't think I'm willing to let google be the source of truth for my contacts if it so happens to be one of the apps in the Android auto chain looking for google contacts specifically.

Oh well. As I said in my original post, if that is the one thing I'm doing to have to live without then so be it suppose.

Edit: Thanks for the ideas DahGangalang
