I made an automatic shortcut to play my Music playlist after getting into my car, after connecting to my bluetooth aux device (I don't have carplay or whatever). however, after connecting through bluetooth it just prompts me with a notification to run. There is no option to run it automatically. It's made as an "automation", and it's functioning precisely as a shortcut. Is there a way to have this just run automatically without my input?
Hi Mythric, thank you for posting here in Apple Support Communities.
We understand that you're looking to use an automated Shortcut to play your music once your iPhone is connected to your car's stereo, and we'd be happy to help clear things up for you. To be able to use this specific trigger, CarPlay is required. For more information, please check out: Travel triggers
With that said, there are several other triggers that you might be able use as an alternate. Here's how: Create a new personal automation
Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
Cheers!
Mythric,
You're very welcome! Since none of the travel triggers can help automate your Shortcut, we ask that you submit this as feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple
Take care!
Thank you! Unfortunately my vehicle is a 2007 and does not have built-in bluetooth or carplay. I use a bluetooth adapter that I plug into my cigarette lighter which broadcasts to a short range radio signal that my car picks up.
I have read the travel triggers list and cannot find any alternatives, would you happen to be able to help me find one? I need it to automatically start when I enter my car. The automation I set up would be absolutely perfect, except it doesn't do it automatically. My phone automatically connects to my bluetooth adapter after it gets power from starting the car.
Thanks. However, there's no option to submit feedback for the shortcuts app.
