Voice Control button with Android Auto?

[Zoom]

When I am using Android Auto I would expect the voice control button to activate the Google Assistant, but it doesn't - it brings up the car's voice control menu. Any way to change this?

I think, but I might be wrong, that when I tried Android Auto at the dealership that button did work in the expected way.

Pressing the microphone icon on the screen while driving is not very convenient and saying "OK Google" doesn't seem to work under certain circumstances.

On Apple CarPlay you hold down the button so I guess it’s the same on Android Auto.

Thanks. I will try it out.

Edit: It worked! Thanks again.
