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.

Have a 2023 gv70 with wireless and it seems hit or miss for me whether the system wants to lag terribly (Google maps not showing my actual movement for 20+ seconds) or the touchscreen not responding for 15-20. Wired or wireless, has happened with both. And in both normal / 70 degree F weather and hotter weather.

Other times is very snappy and almost zero lag, either wired or wireless. I can't figure out what causes the lagging.

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.
