Hi all,
Has anyone found or heard of a bluetooth media button or some other external device that can activate google assistant?
Was looking for one for my car, would be really helpful. Cheers

Why can't you just say Hey Google to activate Google Assistant? That's what I do e.g. Hey Google turn on Bluetooth or Hey Google take me home
Can’t you just say “ok google “?
Use your voice. That's the whole purpose of google assistant.
This is using an iPhone but I do find I can't get "Hey Siri" to work in the car unless the music/radio is on a very low volume. The microphone isn't good enough to pick up my command. I did buy a bluetooth siri button a while ago but had issues with it getting it to activate Siri.
I find OK GOOGLE works, as long as the phone is not locked.
You can do smart lock so that your phone remains unlocked as long as it's connected to the car Bluetooth
I don't know iPhones very well but you could look into using an NFC tag. They come as little stickers, which you'd in your car, then you swipe your phone over it.
+1 for this post. I personally use the assistant while driving everyday by saying "OK Google", but it works ~60-80% of the times. I have a Galaxy S8, which should not have performance issues. Sometimes calling the assistant just does not work. This thread is worth bringing back alive, especially since QLD introduced $1000 fines for touching your phone while driving.
Maybe you could buy one of these:

Then download a macro app or use the one in Nova launcher and bind the camera button to google assistant?
