I connect my phone to my car stereo using a 3.5mm cable. but then when i try a voice goodle search, the phone doesn't pick up the sound. Only when i unplug the cable.

Any fix for this?

I had a similar issue with my Moto E2 a while back. Turns out that the 3.5mm audio cable I was using was designed for both input and output, so the E2 was identifying it as a headset, not headphones (my car's audio system does not have a mic). I bought another 3.5mm audio cable that was advertised as just audio output, and it worked as intended (output via audio cable to car speakers, input via phone's mic).
