Using Android Auto via USB Only, Not Bluetooth

Long story short, I want to connect my Android phone to the vehicle via USB only, not via bluetooth. Every time I use Android Auto, the Mazda turns the bluetooth on the phone back on. Is that possible? If so, what are the exact steps/settings? TIA

Try deleting the car-phone bluetooth connection (either on your phone or the car or both).

I don't think it's possible but if it did allow it, you'd live with the trade-off of no audio.

Not if he's using a wired USB connection (as he wants to).
