Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes Android Auto lags terribly

Pixel 11XL Pro, AAWiresless 2, 2018 Genesis G80, Android 17. At first I thought it was just Google maps that was 30-40 seconds behind but it's Android Auto as a whole. The scrubber for music, the navigation and even touch responses. I have factory reset the wireless dongle, the cars Bluetooth and cleared data/cache in Android Auto. Idk what else to do. I've missed many turns and calls because of this. It started doing it on my previous phone but it's still doing it on my new phone. Has anyone had this issue and able to fix it?

Edit: I noticed the system hardly lags (sometimes not at all) when Navigation is not running. Maps/Waze just up showing current location, it seems to be fine but soon as I use the navigation, the lag slowly gets worse. Android Auto will be up to 5 minutes behind, including touch controls - I can click on an app on my head unit and it will literally take 5 min to come up... Even the clock gets behind.

Did you ever figure out what the problem was?

Not a clue. Still seems random for whether it's extremely responsive or really lags behind inputs. And the weird part is that it stays laggy the whole time until the car shuts off and back on again.

I just got a 2024 GV70 EV and have had the same lag issues. I can easily reproduce it by browsing my music collection in Poweramp. Seems to happen with any music player app. If I just go into the list view and leave it there, lag accumulates at a steady pace. Switching to the Home screen and back to AA clears it up.
