Music Starts Playing When Making a Call iPhone

I think this is related to IOS only but i've got a really annoying problem whenever I make a phone call through the idrive, my car decided to start playing music from my phone in the background. This is always from either Amazon Music or Spotify.

Found loads of other people moaning about the same thing on an iphone, but still not found a way to solve the problem:

Is there an auto-play setting in the car? I can't find one at all?

Anybody having the same problem?

I ran into the same issue. Super frustrating. So I uninstallled amazon music and all solved. That worked for me because I really only use Apple Music or pandora.

Apologies, but I am not understanding how Amazon Music prevents music saved on the phone to start playing by default...

It was the music in the Amazon app that played erroneously. With that app now deleted, life is good. I confirmed the OP’s observation that music plays “from” either amazon music or Spotify when making a call.

I have exactly the same problem. It seems to be ok if the Amazon Music app is closed down.

I just ended up deleting the Amazon Music app. It kept opening itself whenever I started the car.

Reading up further about this, Spotify used to do the same thing, but they have fixed it. So its back to Spotify for me.

Potential fix?

Assuming IOS device.

Find Carplay for your car, go to apps and remove Amazon Music app from the list of allowed apps. This should prevent it working. The App is still on your phone should you wish to add it later or indeed use it when not in the car.

Need to test it, but I have just done that.

Good luck

there is a setting within amazon music app that stops it from autoplaying:

settings (cog) > Settings > Car Mode > start car mode automatcially (turn that off).

i also turned off show car mode buttom by setting that to never.
