I'm willing to help provide debugging logs. However, I'm not quite sure how to get them from the service/app and not just from a script.

When plugging USB, it will ask whether to allow file transfers. Select "No", and try again.

So it isn't asking if I want to allow file transfers. I have explored the settings in both Android Auto and the app settings at the OS level and I'm unable to find a file transfer permission setting anywhere. I have tried disabling USB Debugging before connecting my phone but that didn't work. I still have some more Ideas to try but any suggestions would be appreciated.
