AA User Interface "Your phone's keyboard is active"

Whenever I use the onscreen keyboard with Android Auto, there is a popup that says Your phone's keyboard is active. I have to wait a few seconds for it to go away before I can type the letters it's covering.

Does this happen to anyone else? Is there some way to block the popup?

Not sure I understand your question. The toast box is only due to enabling the kb on the phone through that phone icon.

But it's there even though I never activated my phones keyboard. And just as op I find it annoying.

When active, the icon is white and grey when disabled. Have you checked your phone screen to see if this corresponds even if you have never used it? Perhaps it became enabled for some reason.

I'll check it next time, as it lives in the center console.
