iPhone 12 Pro Max iPhone 12 pro max starts randomly playing in car Bluetooth

[lowfreq]

I have a 12 pro max and a 2011 4runner and whenever i start my vehicle the phone starts playing automatically through the vehicles Bluetooth (audio is coming from the itunes app on the phone )

other times ill try playing some video via youtube or FB and again the audio starts randomly playing from the itunes app and i have to navigate to that app to shut things down.

its actually gotten to be quite irritating and i cannot figure out why this is happening.

any advice?

this has been an issue for several years so not iOS15. Probably worth looking at your car BT audio settings first. that's what fixed it for me.

I had that exact issue a few years ago so definitely not new. You’ve probably already tried this but you could unpair/pair to see if that helps. I understand the frustration. At one point I turned off audio on the car’s Bluetooth settings and just used it for phone calls. Not a good option clearly.

This exact same thing happened to me today. I was watching YouTube went into the car and it randomly started playing Despacito haha

Ya think this would be a simple "Do not autoplay" in a CarPlay setting somewhere.

This has bugged me for years. The only saving grace is that a Cheech & Chong track starts "No stems no seeds that you don't need, new Acapulco Gold is the baddest weed" plays every single time much to the delight of passengers.

the crazy thing is when it did this on Monday morning when I went to leave for work (keep in mind its already been doing this for month), iTunes randomly picked a song called "show me your G*****" by Jon Lajoie. The literally came out of left field is far, far from anything that I would play or listen to.
