AutoInput tasker/autoinput not working with display off

Hello,
My car's BT tries to force happiness on me by sending "Media Play" command everytime I switch to BT. It triggers my default media player and starts playing music.
It is a bit annoying - when I change volume the music starts, when I switch between radio and BT - the music starts...

I've created this script in tasker/autoinput that partially solves the problem:

Code (Text):

Profile: Media Play (6)
    State: Media Button [ Button:Play Held Down:Off Grab:Off Stop Event:Off ]
Enter: Blokada Grania (3)
    A1: AutoInput Modes [ Configuration:Key Suppress: Enable
Keys: Media Play Timeout (Seconds):2 ]

However it works only with the display ON. When the screen is off (and mostly is while I'm driving) the scripts doesn't work.
Both tasker and autoinput are excluded from baterry saving.
Android 7 on Nexus 5X, no root.

Hope I'll find help here

 

yeah, I've foud it yesterday in my desperate longing of solving my problem
Thanks anyway.

 

Also, the app media button router (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.harleensahni.android.mbr) reroutes the button to their own program, even when screen is off. NO ROOT IS NEEDED.
Can you please add support for it?

 

Just curious if anything has changed over the years. It seems not since tasks still aren't launched when screen's off but just checkin
