How to Turn off CarPlay

I've got a new Nissan Rogue with CarPlay and an iPhone 6s. I connect the phone to the car via bluetooth.


CarPlay suddenly started working a few days ago. This had never happened before. I rarely listen to music on the car so I don't want this function working while I drive. I cannot get it to stop playing and would very much like some help with this.


So far I've tried:


- Turning off Cellular Data - didn't stop it. It only resulted in email and texts being disabled.

- Turning off CarPlay - Nope. Still keeps working.

- Turned off Siri - still plays

- Deleted Nissan Connect - still plays

- Updated the iOS - still plays


Only thing that works is turning off the bluetooth which means I can't use the handsfree in the car to make and receive calls. That's not an option.


I'm really not happy about this. I feel like Apple has decided I have to listen to their music and I have to be subjected to their marketing to buy more music and it ****** me off. I want to turn it off, enjoy my car in quiet and not have to fight a piece of electronics that's there to serve my needs, not it's needs. If I can't fix this, I'll switch to Android and ditch the iPhone all together.

iPhone 6s, iOS 10.3.3

I'm going to try this too - in my case, I love using CarPlay with my iPhone 7 in my 2017 VW Passat, but lately I'll get an electrical "buzz" about halfway through listening that completely disables whatever I'm listening to, and I have to reset CarPlay to get it to restart. I've swapped out the cable to no avail, so I'm waiting to see if it's the car or my phone when I get a new car in a few weeks.

Also, even when CarPlay is working, it always defaults to playing Apple Music first and not Podcasts, which is what I want for my default startup app. No thanks, Apple, I don't want to use your Music app!
