One thing to try is to disable AA all together and enable it using tasker and an nfc tag.

Do you know how to enable AA with Tasker?
Check this script out...
It's doing a bunch more than just enabling AA, but you might extract that part of the logic for your outcome.
It seems like it just closes and restarts the AA app. It does not disable AA.
if you get/have AAWireless dongle you can set it to only connect when it also connects to the radio Bluetooth.
If not You can get a toggle switch USB cable to make disconnecting easier.
Have not tried, but Sonoff has a usb switch that you can control remotely and could potentially use Google Home. https://sonoff.tech/product/diy-smart-switches/micro/
I'm not sure I understand you. I have a wireless dongle and it connects when I'm in the house and the car wakes up outside.
I have this exact same problem, but with a Chevy bolt. Some cars USB ports are "always on" and some aren't. Might be worth trying different ones and see if there's a port that doesn't power on randomly. This didn't work on my car, but it's a common solution I came across when I was trying to figure it out. For now, I've just reverted back to wired AA.
There is only one carplay/AA USB port, and apparently it wakes up when the car does anything.
This post made me try again to find a solution, and maybe a USB extension cord with a on/off switch could work. It's not automated but would be more convenient than removing the dongle each time. I'm thinking something like this
I would glue an NFC Tag there. And have tasker react to that
That is actually a really good idea! On the charger? Can Tasker detect continuous presence of NFC Tags, or does it need to poll every X seconds?
I think I have some sticky tags lying around somewhere.
Android triggers wegen when a Tag enters its scanner. I wager tasker can use that as trigger.
The only problem i see is Tasker by itself cannot prevent Android Auto from connecting, so it will still connect for a few sconds, even if you are able to disconnect it somehow.
I think you might be able to toggle wireless AA in the developer settings of AA, so maybe you could setup an Autoinput routine to tap the screen and turn on wireless AA only when you need it.
Also i think you'd be better off with a "on the wireless charger or not" state than trying to use a NFC tag at the same time
Yeah. I've installed Tasker and it seems like there is no way I can enable/disable AA.
Try setting it to manually connect to that Bluetooth device. Then trigger the connect with the nfc tag. Stick it where you put your phone while driving. Disconnect when the tag is not present anymore.
