It's because your headphones were sending a Bluetooth "Play" command on connect (my Honda Odyssey does this as well). For anyone else with this problem, you can override this silly default in macOS using Privacy & Security > Bluetooth, adding Music, then turning off Bluetooth access for Music.
- jeremyjh 2y agoMusic isn't in the list of apps and I don't see any way to add it. I would love to fix this in my car radio.
- PokestarFan 2y agoThere should be a "+" button you can click and select any app. The Music app is located in the /Applications folder.

- bigyabai 2y ago> you can override this silly default But Apple sure won't, seeing as Music.app conveniently displays a modal advertisement for Apple Music when it launches. Silly defaults. At what point does it stop being silly and start being a dark pattern?
- kevincox 2y agoThat is maybe questionable behaviour from the headphones. But the worse problem is that there is no way to change what media player is used. I don't use Apple Music, have no songs in it and no subscription. But it opens that rather than the player I do use. I'm pretty sure I have also launched Apple Music accidentally with some keyboard button or touchbar action. For a "premium" device having to close Apple Music (effectively an ad) a few times a week is not acceptable.
