Bluetooth trying to open a search engine in my car?

DallasXanadu — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 19:16:25 GMT

For some reason, and out of the blue, when I use the voice command button in my Chevy Trax, my phone is asking me to open Bing, Google, or Bixby, instead of making a phone call like it always has. This is never happened in any car I've owned, including the 4 months I've owned this one. I've unpaired and re-paired the phone with no luck. I'm sure it's something simple, but I'm not sure exactly what happens here. I do have Android Auto disabled, for what that's worth.

If your phone is connected to your car via BT, it could very well be your car's head unit programming asking. You could try unpairing your phone, deleting it from the device history and then re-pairing it to see if that changes anything.

Hello @DallasXanadu, Thank you for reaching out to the Community. We can understand how frustrating this issue is for you
in addition to unpairing and deleting the phone from the car’s Bluetooth list, also forget the car from the phone's Bluetooth settings, then restart the phone and pair again. You can also try clearing the Android Auto Cache by going to settings, apps, Android Auto, Storage, then Clear Cache and Data.

I think I've tried all of that, except clearing the cache. I'll give that a shot and then try it again when I'm in the car tomorrow. Thanks for the advice!
