Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I own an iPod and have that plugged into my car (via USB) for iTunes.
When I get in with my iPhone, the iPhone hijacks the system and plays songs purchased.
I have cellular turned off for "Music", and I do not use the Music app.
I do want the phone and GPS to play in the stereo while driving.
Short of deleting Music, is there a solution?
I also don't use Siri, and I don't use Screen Time.
iPhone 11, iOS 15
You should be able to switch your vehicle from using Bluetooth for music to using your Media (iPod) connection. I know that my vehicle has that capability. If you are unsure, check with your vehicle manufacturer, or dealership.

Oh, I can choose “source”, which is on iPod usb. It doesn’t stop the car from using the iPhone instead. I need to unplug and replug the iPod into the usb to get it to choose the right device.
i just want iPhone to not play
If the vehicle is confusing the connection, you need to contact your dealer. The iPhone does not determine what the source is, it is based on the car's settings. Makes me believe there is a problem with the switching once you connect to Bluetooth that has the car override its own settings.
There is no way for me to test this. I have an iPhone 13 Pro, and I can switch between Bluetooth and Media in my vehicle. I've never experienced it changing on its own either. Do you have the latest iOS installed on the iPhone 11? Up to you how to wish to move forward from here. I do not have a 2015 Honda CRV either. At least try contacting your local Honda dealer, since there may have been a software update to allow the vehicle's audio system to work with the newer iPhones.
It’s a new issue with the newer iPhone 11. The old iPhone 6 has no issues.
same car, same stereo.
Also, it’s a 2015 CRV. So, nothing new and fancy.
