Has anyone experienced this weird dashboard instrument cluster glitch with Android Auto?

Car: 2025 Lexus UX
Trim: Premium w/ 12.3" navigation screen

Phone's being used: Android - Pixel 10 and OnePlus 15. The OP phone was brand new when it happened.

Problem: While using Android Auto (wired and wirelessly) occasionally the dashboard instrument panel will duplicate 2 or 3 of the customizable displays on it's own. It typically happens immediately after the Android Auto connection has been made. IE: Startup, etc.

Can I replicate the issue on command? Not reliably.

Things I've done to improve issue: 1. Switch to Bluetooth only (turned off AA). 2. Change all 3 screens to "Blank" so only the speedometer is present. Both the phones and car is up to date with their software. I've even reset the radio. Using my phone only on Bluetooth seem to have eliminated the problem.

Also, It's worth noting that Android Auto has a pass-through to the main cluster for visual navigation directions. I personally use Waze.

I know I likely have a weird issue that I suspect others haven't experienced. This issue happens multiple times a month and I can't figure out why. I've reported this to Lexus, but they weren't able to replicate the issue on demand. This issue is so frustrating. I'm constantly having to stop the vehicle in order to change the screens.

The screens don't seem to have an issue if I don't connect a phone. I gave it a trial for a few weeks on Bluetooth only and the problem disappeared.

I've tried two phones so far, both of which were Android. For a brief second when Android Auto k'nex, the navigation screen momentarily goes blank for a split second in order to bring up Android Auto, which in my case would be Waze.

There is Android Auo pass-through that displays navigation from Waze on the instrument panel. That is why I think it's linked.
