I didn’t think this was a problem anymore. Checked the date of the article and it’s from 2017.

When I plug my iPhone into the car with USB, nothing plays automatically. Then I select ApplePlay and choose Spotify, Audible, etc.

Nothing automatically plays with Bluetooth either.

Is it older cars that are the problem that trigger the automatic playing from the default iTunes library?

It happens to me every time I plug in my iPhone 14 Pro into my 2014 Toyota Corolla. (Doesn’t haven’t Apple CarPlay by default). So as others have said it’s likely because the car. If I were to replace my stereo unit with one that supports CarPlay I hopefully and probably won’t have this issue anymore… thank god. I always thought it was Apple Music. Well, it partly is I think. I never had this issue with Spotify, rather, well Spotify would always start off where I left it. Apple Music almost always plays the first song in my library. It seems if I leave the app open on my phone, it will continue where I left off sometimes…

Maybe it's older cars/stereos--it still happens to me when I plug my new phone into my old car.
