Question marked as Best answer

I have this issue as well with my iPhone X, additionally it's not just when plugging in or connected via Bluetooth - every time I end a call or miss a call. The only way I've managed to prevent this and still use my phone handsfree is to delete the iTunes Music App from my phone! I would think that this is not in Apple's best interest and is extremely irritating.

Hello Gmacaluso.


Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


If I'm understanding correctly, you would like to know if you can prevent music from automatically playing when you plug into your car stereo. I will be glad to assist.


This is behavior is expected when plugging into a car stereo. I would recommend contacting your vehicle manufacturer to see if there is an option to disable this feature.

I should not have to contact my car manufacturer as every car I have had does this with the iPhone Apple needs to change this and make that a selectable feature on the phone totally annoying to have my kids music I start auto playing when I get my car every time just because it’s in my playlist and made up and the last thing I was listening to
