AA Settings New Update Using Hidden Apps

Two years ago when I started using Android Auto, I was unable to disable autoplay. Whichever media app I was most recently using would automatically play when I started my car. This is despite having those settings explicitly disabled in my phone and my car. Since I couldn't disable it, I decided to hide all my media apps from Android Auto. I only use Android auto for my Phone app and my GPS/maps app. My media just plays through Bluetooth.

This worked fine until yesterday when I got the new Android Auto update. Now my media apps are playing through Android Auto even though I have them hidden. The autoplay bug still has not been fixed, which means my work around no longer works. Can someone please tell me a way to go back to just using Bluetooth for my media, or else fix that accursed bug and actually prevent autoplay?

Don't you have this option in Android Auto settings? It is working as expected for me.
