    You pick up the phone and select the google app while risking the ticket and/or Death.

    Alternatively, use a smartwatch that you can talk into, which I sometimes use to do simple stuff. I haven't fully gotten a successful reply to text command out of it yet though.

    Or you press the button on the wheel and talk to entune, the special-ed cousin of Google.

    I've got the Samsung Note 9 and Bixby is an absolute joke . There was a programming error that caused major issues with Bixby rendering it totally useless . There's lots of info on how to disable Bixby

    I'm still on the S8. One of the first apps I searched for was BK Disabler because I can't fuggin stand Bixby or any of the other Samsung bloat. 20190103_203935.jpg

    If I go to Google Maps and push the microphone icon I can speak to Google Maps through the truck provided that I'm clicked over on to the Bluetooth audio on the radio set. Also I Am speech to texting this message right now and I think it is going through the microphone of the truck.

    On my 2014 Nissan Frontier and on my 2016 F-150 I was able to find ways to fiddle fuck to get the OK Google to work through the trucks microphone. So far I've had no luck with the Tacoma
