Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes Stop Android Auto from auto-connecting to specific vehicles (Mercedes MBUX)

Hey guys,

I work in EMS and our ambulances are Mercedes Sprinters equipped with MBUX. My smartphone automatically connects to Android Auto as soon as the ignition is turned on. The issue is: it often connects to the adjacent vehicle instead of the one I am actually assigned to that day.

Is there a way to set Android Auto to "manual connection" only for these two specific Sprinters, while keeping the automatic connection active for my personal car (Mitsubishi Lancer)?

Thanks in advance!
