I believe what’s happening is that certain car stereos are programmed to basically send the “play” command as soon as a device is connected. From the phone’s perspective, it’s as if you had connected Bluetooth headphones and then pressed the “play/pause” button.
I say this because my iPhone never autoplays when connecting to any Bluetooth audio device except for my car stereo.
I agree it’s aggressive and should be able to be turned off, but it’s the car’s software, not the phone’s, that’s the problem.
- rkagerer 4y agoCouldn't the phone provide an option to disable this on a per-device basis?
- swamp40 4y agoAgree that a "play" command is being sent from vehicle. This autostarts Apple Music if nothing else is using the speaker.
- gedy 4y agoThis drives me crazy as I don't use Apple Music and I don't want to keep playing handful of songs I bought 15 years ago on iTunes. I've yet to find out how to disable this.
- onlyusername 4y agoDelete the Apple Music app from your phone.
- dudus 4y agoI don't have an iPhone. But at least on OSX I didn't find a clean way to remove Apple Music. Every time I accidentally tap play on my bluetooth headset it opens Apple Music and asks me accept the ToS, which I happily reject. It's a daily thing for me because it's almost impossible to put my headphones on without triggering a play due to bad button placement.

- jcpst 4y agoYep, I have it disabled. My main music apps are “Picky” and Bandcamp, and it works pretty well. When they do start autoplaying in the car (Picky does it), it’s at least whatever I album I was last playing on the app.
- porknubbins 4y agoSending the play command itself would be less of a problem if iOS wasn’t so completely opaque as to what “currently playing” or “default music app” means, but that distinction itself would require more clarity as to whether apps can be run in the background or not.
