Constant Access Required and Permission Required notifications

Ever since migrating from a Forerunner 920XT to a 935, I have experienced unending notifications from the Garmin Connect mobile app:

Access Required
You have connected a device that supports advanced music controls such as title and artist. Tap to enable advanced music services for this device.

Permission Required
A device is requesting access to your calendar.

I have disabled Smart Notifications and have removed the Music app from my device but these notifications keep coming. Practically as soon as I swipe one away, my phone buzzes and another one takes its place.

Is there any way simply to disable whatever feature continues to generate these notifications? I'm just using my Forerunner for running, not for playing music or receiving notifications from my phone.

Google Pixel running Android 7.1.2.

Hey Garmin, Why won't you fix this or at least reply? Thanks.

This is a user forum, don't expect any posts from Garmin, appart from occasional announcements. However, you can fix the issue yourself, if you read and follow the post just before yours.

Also happening to me with weather constantly requesting location permissions and this is the best answer. Thank you trux.

trux, this is a real issue. If you don't have the problem then that's lucky for you. Other people including me have all permissions turned off (all permissions) and are still getting the issue. They cannot fix it themselves (unless they could modify the source code I suppose)
