That may be ab implementation detail of android auto for your car manufacturer. I never needed to sync the contacts in BMW and VW.
I had some troubles with Ford, but there It worked via USB instead of Bluetooth pairing without forced sync.
Edit: I am in Germany, so data protection laws may also be a reason why it works for me
That makes sense. Mine is a Kenwood aftermarket unit so maybe its a Kenwood thing
