Android Auto's notification for WhatsApp messages, how can I get them working?

Android Auto's notification for WhatsApp messages

I have hundreds of group messages a day from WhatsApp and I have already turned off these notifications for group chats.

However in Android Auto, it seems to ignore the notification settings within WhatsApp and instead sounds a notification tone each time a WhatsApp group message is received, which means I can barely hear my Google Play Music.

Has anyone encountered this problem as well? Any solutions or workarounds?

Thanks!

No setting in Whatsapp to disable?

I use Textra and I never get a sound at all. I have to be watching the screen for a new message.
How can I get my sound to work? Phone rings just fine, as does the voice nav.

Finally, I use an app name "Headsoff" and disabled all the notification from whatsapp and now my music plays without any interruption.
