Create shortcut with Spotify

I’m trying to create an automatic shortcut where a specific playlist on Spotify starts playing when my iphone connects to a certain bluetooth unit but I cannot find Spotify as an app to choose when creating the shortcut. I have also tried to download a shortcut from internet but my browser says that I don’t have permission to do that. How can I do this?

iPhone 7, iOS 13

How can a user select a default playlist, artist, tag or category to play when Bluetooth auto connects? When My phone auto connects to a Bluetooth car audio system it usually starts to play music at random which is not always appropriate for all audiences. Is anyone aware of a way to indicate a default playlist or select favorites only or disable auto play? If there is no solution, this would be a desirable feature. Thanks!

Shortcut to Apple Music playlist Hi, there’s plenty of information out there about how to add a Home Screen shortcut to an Apple Music playlist using the Apple Shortcuts app. I have done this. However, the problem for me is that the playlist itself fails to open up in Apple Music. I would even settle for opening the Apple Music app manually and seeing the playlist pop up, but when you open the app, all you see is either the last thing you played or the Home Page. It doesn’t make sense to hear the songs in a playlist but not see the actual playlist they’re emanating from - extremely frustrating and inconvenient. Does anyone know how to create a shortcut that not only starts a playlist but OPENS the playlist? I wouldn’t even mind a shortcut that simply opens a playlist and doesn’t start playing it automatically. Thank you.

Can Apple PLEASE add the ability to remove a song from a library/playlist via CarPlay? 50% of my listening is directly from my phone. When listening to a song on my iPhone, I have the ability to remove a song from my library or a playlist right then and there. The other 50% of my listening is via CarPlay in my car. There is NO way to remove a song from a library or playlist via CarPlay. I can't do it with a touchscreen click, I can't do it with Siri, there is literally NO way to do it. This is seriously the ONLY thing keeping me on Spotify. I WANT to switch to Apple Music, but this one feature alone is a dealbreaker. Its not a distraction issue... Spotify literally lets me click the "heart" button on the screen, and the song is removed from my "Liked Songs" (equivalent of Apple Music's Library). It takes a fraction of a second and is not a distraction. I can't understand how Spotify's CarPlay integration is more functional that Apple Music's.
