Android Auto Scale / Resolution coding

I have a Volkswagen car and I use Android Auto, connected to my Pixel 7 Pro. There is a thick black bar on top of the screen that appeared after VW added notification pull bar on top of the screen. The notification bar decreased usable screen space and looks like AA does now support new resolution and scales down. Attached pictures to make it clear on what I'm saying.

If anyone could code / fix the Android Auto to use the full screen size, that would be great. It's been going on for years and I'm currently in the Android Auto Beta program as well. A lot of Volkswagen car users faces this issue.
