Notification sounds while connected to bluetooth (self.android)

Every 6 months or so I go looking for a solution to this problem and still haven't found one.

When my phone (Pixel 7) is connected to my car by bluetooth, the phone itself will not make any notification sounds. It is attempting to send all notification sounds to the car. The problem is, if I am currently not listening to any media and the head unit is off, I will not hear anything at all. The only possible way to hear it, is to have the head unit on and set to bluetooth input whether or not I'm listening to anything. This was not always the case. I think it changed after Android 13 was released but I'm not 100% sure.

My car doesn't do Bluetooth so I'm not familiar, but can you not just not connect it to Bluetooth if you're not using it?

There are a bunch of settings in the Android connected devices settings, maybe changing the device type would help.

If it's Android Auto, I can see that there's a toggle for notifications, but that probably just turns them off.

I'd also see if there's a way to update the software in the car. Maybe it'll improve the behavior. Or even just give up on Bluetooth music and use a separate adapter that behaves better.

In my state it is against the law to hold your phone while you're driving so I keep it connected by bluetooth for calls. It's not a problem when I'm listening to music or podcasts which I frequently do. It's only an issue when I'm not listening to anything. I've looked into updating the car's software but it's already on the most current version.
