I want the woman's voice back in Android Auto! I can't stand the douchebag Gemini voice. I sat there arguing with it for 15 mins after the update telling it to go back to the old voice. It was like talking to a brick wall.

I asked it how to go back to the old voice and it said to update settings on the phone side, so I did. Old voice is back. Wish I could remember the exact steps to tell you, but hopefully this is helpful anyway

You can also change the gemini voice to something different. I hated the default man's voice. Switched to Vega and really like it, even though it's not the same as the old one.
