Android Auto limiting number of interactions, forcing a pause then beep

So back when AA first dropped you could use the infotainment dial to scroll, interact, do anything you wanted with unlimited interactions. Over the past couple years, maybe more, when I use Spotify namely, I can only 'interact' with the infotainment dial to scroll / select, move around the menu a certain amount of times, say 15 separate movements or so before it will pause, then beep at you obnoxiously for... " safety " reasons.

I'm kind of desperate at this point and I'm willing to get a little DIY. Whatever I have to do. Jailbreak, even replacing the infotainment with a custom / aftermarket one. I'm prepared to basically do whatever I need to have AA stop messing with the infotainment.

I use both Wired and Wireless Android Auto depending on how far I'm driving etc. I have a Android Auto wireless dongle for that and for when I plug it in, just a regular USB C cable.

Any tricks, workarounds, ideas, no matter how crazy, please tell me. I'm so sick of this
