Google maps driving mode/Spotify not working correctly

[413x]

One of the few reasons for me to have Spotify is how it works with androids driving mode.

But for last week or 2 at least something has happened where it just doesn't work.

Issue 1: voice commands are suddenly terrible. I asked to play fallout boy and it went to some random mix collection.
I also asked it to play one of my favourites but it played some random artist of the same name with less than 100 followers. I can't even figure out how to play that artist anymore.

Issue 2: the info at the bottom of Google maps is wrong. What is playing in Spotify is different to what's on the screen.


Anyone else use this and have these issue?

Edit. Not android auto.

Usually disconnecting the phone (i.e. forget device/account) and repairing fixes all my carplay/AA issues. Tried that?

I haven't used apple carplay software, but on android auto I still have the very well known issue that Amazom music flat refuses to play what you ask for, sounds exactly the same issue as you are having on Spotify. You ask to play a song eg "paint it black by the rolling stones", it says back to you "asking amazon music to play paint it black by the rolling stones" then it starts playing something totally random like ed sheran, drives me nuts, especially as there are claims from both Google and Amazon thats its fixed. Youtube music works perfectly .... surprising that isnt it Google .... very annoying.
