Just a heads-up as many users in that thread are reporting Android Auto issues with their Pixel 8 and 8 Pro phones, and the response by the Android Auto team there is to file a bug report.
Do you also encounter issues with Android Auto with the Pixel 8/8 Pro?
Same. I’ve paired it wirelessly to one car and wired to the other car. Both have worked seamlessly since getting the phone last week.
No problems here.
