Cannot access Ford Sync Voice commands while Android Auto Enabled

[domanows]

Has anyone come across a solution for accessing Sync3 voice assistant while Android Auto is enable?
It is super annoying that I cannot change Artists or Genres from USB media while Android Auto is engaged.
The primary reason is Ford has chosen that in the U.S. drivers are not allowed to interact with the touch screen to change USB music. It can only be done via voice.
The challenge with this is that when pressing the voice assist button on the steering wheel while Android Auto is enabled, the Android assistant starts up, not the Ford Sync voice assistant.

In order to make the Ford Sync assistant available, I have to exit Android Auto. Has anyone found a way around this?
Ideally I want to use Forscan to disable this nanny feature, but as of yet I have not found a way to do it on the 2023 Explorer.

Domanows , I wish i had an answer for you but the same thing happens to me !! It is a HUGE PITA !!! It seems to me that if I go through my cell, samsung 24U,and deleat anything I see that has to do with the phone hooking up to the car. So I remove it all. Then look in the screen in the car and do the same.I remove anything that has my cell name on it . Next time I plug it in I have to add the "new" phone. It will work fine for awhile after but eventually does it again. but that seems to be a temp fix...
