Best I can remember, bring up the menu for Android Auto in your Mazda. It should be scroll all the way down using your dial until you see the 9 dots. Click over to the aqpps ohn the right, and then there is a Settings Icon. Try going through the settings or the car and also, there is a setting for more Android Auot settings on your phone. Check your audio in both areas and possibly even in your standard Mazda settings under Communications.
It's clear but the assistant and maps just don't sound nowhere as polished as Apple maps and Siri.
I see what you're saying. I can't say how that may sound in your vehicle. Mine is clear and precise. My daughter has an iPhone 15 Pro that she uses in her Jeep Wrangler w/Apple CarPlay. I don't notice hers sounding any more polished than what mind sounds like. Wish I had more to comment on. Perhaps you have a preference for iOS and CarPlay maybe.
Just that aspect I'm mentioning. The voice sounds less like ai and more like a person.
I changed my voice to the Australian chick and it sounds pretty fantastic.. Not as robotic as the standard one.
Was that for Google Assistant or maps? If maps, does that voice red Street name?
Just noticed you mentioned Maps. I use Waze over Maps so I"m wondering if that makes a difference? When I changed the voice for Assistant, it also is the voice for navigation for Waze. It's like all encompassing. Perhaps with the shift towards Gemini.
