Does anyone know how to stop my music from automatically starting when i connect my phone via bluetooth to my car stereo? it's incredibly annoying. i just want my phone to connect to my car and i will start playing music if and when i feel like it. it's so annoying that it starts up every single time i get in my car and turn the bluetooth on....... thanks!
Remove the "media" link or "bluetooth headset" link in your bluetooth settings on your phone or your car:

Install an app specifically for this:
One was mentioned in comment 49 of the first bug report link above.
There's also one called Headset Blocker.
I'm sure there are many others as well.
Use a profile/event app like Tasker: http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/146722-using-tasker-fix-headset-music-autostart-issue.html.
Disable event using the Autostarts app.
Some media apps have the ability to disable autoplay on bluetooth built in.

I want to use the bluetooth phone connection in my VW Golf, but not the media audio connection. I untick the Media Audio option under Bluetooth settings -> long press VWPHONE, but it always defaults back to being ticked the next time it connects. This is annoying because the phone routes the sat nav directions (CoPilot and Google Nav) over the Bluetooth audio connection, and sometimes auto starts the last media file on the phone.
Is there a way to force the phone not to default back to being ticked? Or turn off Bluetooth Audio for all connections (I never use this feature)?

I have a VW golf too with bluetooth on my phone and I am using it for playing song and answers my phone. But not for navigation...
I'am not sure of what your question is... Can you clarify?

My issue is that the sat nav verbal instructions are routed over the bluetooth media audio connection. As I'm not using that function on the car stereo it means I don't hear them. If I turn off media audio in bluetooth settings the nav instructions are routed to the phone speaker and so I hear them, and calls are routed to the car stereo. Problem is next time I get into the car the bluetooth media audio defaults to on, so I have to turn it off everytime I get in the car. I'd prefer it to remember the setting, or just turn off bluetooth media audio completely as I don't use it.
Sounds like you have the same issue that I have with a 2010 Seat Ibiza FR. I've noticed that the kit effectively pairs twice with my Atrix, first as a headset then as a media capable device. This approach means that the phone bluetooth setting will never be retained.
I've raised the issue with Seat UK who frankly aren't interested, and have yet to find any way of blocking the 2nd connection from the phone side.
I'd be very interested in any resolution / workaround you can find; this drives me nuts too...
Every time I get in my car and the bluetooth connects, the phone decides to automatically start playing the last song I listened to. This is REALLY annoying. Some searching has revealed that this is an ongoing problem with no known solution. Anyone have any ideas?
That's a feature, both my cars do it too. Assuming I left it on Bluetooth input when I got out of the car. This way you don't have to do anything to get the music to start playing. Not sure why you would want it off. For me, I'd hate to take my phone out of my pocket to start the music app.

I have the car dock for my phone which automatically turns bluetooth on when inserted. I really REALLY don't like that as soon as the HTC Car application (which is pretty decent) launches, it immediately starts playing music. I would much rather tell it to start playing music when I feel like it. This HAS to be annoying other people.
It actually annoys me that my car doesn't do this! I have Ford/Microsoft Sync and it used to connect to bluetooth on my phone automatically and play music/pandora but it no longer does this. I have to manually tell it to connect to my phone and switch to BT Media.
Have you tried using tasker or something to stop the music app if it detects it running while connected via bluetooth? There's probably a better solution, but worth a shot if you don't actually use it for music in your car.
Hi there,
I like to stream music through my headphone jack to my car when I'm driving, but still use my bluetooth headset. So I've setup the bluetooth settings to disable media through bluetooth but to allow phone. Problem is, every time my bluetooth reconnects to my phone, it resets those settings and it starts streaming music through my headset...
Is anyone else having these issues? Is there a solution?
Thanks
I've noticed the exact same behavior; would it be considered a bug? If so, does HTC have an avenue to receive bug reports?
On other Android phones I have/had, when you disable a particular Bluetooth profile for a device, it seems to remember that upon reconnection.
Get "Bluetooth auto connect " on play store. By Jacob Klos. GREAT APP!!! Used 2+years. Sets profiles and more. Also has tasker plugin and frequent updates. Free app
Hope this helps. Hit thanks if you wish. Cheers

Hi.
When I connect to the car bluetooth, music automatically starts, of course even if I did not listen music for days. I am using default Walkman.
How to turn it off?

If I uncheck "connect with multimedia function" in options of Car BT (only telephone function active) problem dissapear. But for me it is no solution.
I prefer possibility playing music but only with manual start, and without switch deep functions.
In Xperia Z it was possible but I forgot how.

No I mean if you check smart connect, it may be auto playing the music because of "event occuring bluetooth connected", don't uncheck multimedia audio in the bluetooth settings otherwise you wont get audio from your phone when playing music or videos etc,
I've got my phone connected to my pc via bluetooth right now and it isn't autoplaying music when I disconnect/reconnect bluetooth (I've been toying around with it) and it seems it'll only autoplay music if I set up the smart connect event.
Please explain where I can find this option?
For now in SmartConnect in Events tab I have four events, all are OFF.
In first tab I have BT headset, charger etc and of course Car BT but inside there are the same options as for ex BT mono headphone.

Hmm, if all the events are turned off then I'm not sure, could it be your car stereo requesting the music to be played immediately on connection?
I checked it out and I did not find any such options, this is rather standard (basic) BT device.
Right I've just been to my car to check if my Z2 plays automatically when it connects to my car's bluetooth and it doesn't, I have to press play on my car stereo or the walkman app for music to play.
I have to ask though, with your original Xperia Z, what version of Android is it running? I ask this because it's only been since Android 4.3 that bluetooth audio and associated protocols have been fully put to use (excluding any 3rd party bluetooth stacks). My One X is on android 4.1 and only responds to previous and forward from the car stereo the same was true with my HTC Desire on Android 2.3. Z2 on 4.4.2 responds to all the controls and also sends song information to the car stereo, the car stereo is a fairly old JVC KD-BT11.
I think it's more likely that your car stereo is trying to play music automatically when it connects and may have tried to do it with the Z (if the Z wasn't on 4.3). This is all just mostly guesswork, otherwise I have no idea why it's happening.
Hmm.. I have update Xperia Z to 4.3 but as I remeber problem was solved on 4.2.2 or earlier.
Thank you for assistance, tomorrow I will inspect car BT options again and I will back here.
Is it possible that Throw function can make a mess?
When I swith ON Bluetooth (even away of car) I see for a while icon of Throw function... and when I connect to car BT I see it again. When I connect mono BT headphone this icon don't show up...
I've check options in car BT - there is option "auto-play BT" but it is OFF all the time...and music starts automatically.
For me Throw function is mostly suspected...
I love my V10. However, I use an aux cable in my car but it also connects to bluetooth. I use the aux cable because I listen mainly to a podcast through Podcast Addict and I CANNOT get so that the bluetooth opens PA by default. I am using MacroDroid which has really helped me achieve what I want. I want to plug the phone in and have PA play automatically. When I switch the source on the car stereo to Bluetooth, the music app starts playing. NOT what I want.
The biggest thing that I hate is that whenever the phone connects to the bluetooth it ALWAYS asks if I want to play through BT and Aux. It takes a second to dismiss the notification but who decided that I don't have control to tell my device that I don't prefer this and to not ask me again? Every other pop up can be dismissed with a "Don't show again". Has anyone figured out how to get rid of this or am I the only one who is bothered by it?
