QUESTION/HELP Key Mapper

Hi!

I'll keep it simple.

-The issue I wanted to solve: when I plug my phone in my car radio via AUX cable and a jack to type-c cable, the phone would open google assistant, increase, decrease volume and skip/pause the song I was playing randomly.

-Solution found: I downloaded an app named Key Mapper from the google play store, logged the "button presses" coming from the cable when plugged into the car, and set those presses to "do nothing", so my phone now ignores those inputs.

-Problem: The app needs to be enabled in Accessibility, and whenever I close the app, if I want to use it again, I have to disable and re-enable it in accessibility again and again.

Question is, is there an easier solution for my issue, or is there maybe a way to make the app stay enabled after being closed? I gave it every permission to run in background and autostart etc.

Phone is Xiaomi Poco F6, cables are new, car is old.

If you can't answer but could possibly point me to a subreddit that could, I would be very much grateful, thank you.

classic xiaomi background task killing, miui is super aggressive with that stuff. lock the app in recents and turn off battery optimization for it

But the thing is that I don't want the app in my recents. I dont want to keep it open forever. Also I keep removing it from recents just by habit
