IPhone starts playing music automatically when connecting to bluetooth

I'm having an issue where my iPhone 4S (iOS 6.0.1) starts playing music/podcasts as soon as it connects to the bluetooth audio in my car, even when neither the music app nor the podcasts app is open at all. This is extremely annoying because every time I get in my car it starts regardless if I want to listen to anything or not, and I'm forced to take my phone out and shut it off every time. At first, I thought it was a glitch with the podcasts app, so I deleted it, but it's still doing it through the music app. The weird thing is, while it's playing, if I open the music app, the "Now Playing" button doesn't appear. But if I double click the home button in the lock screen, or go to the music controls by double clicking on the home screen, it does show what's playing. I have no idea how to make this stop short of shutting off bluetooth, but I don't want to do this in case I want to use the phone itself while driving. Please Apple, fix this soon!

I am having a similar issue with my new IPhone 4 and my cars Bluetooth audio
The music on my iphone just randomly starts playing whenever I enter my vehicle. This happens eventhough I have paused the music
On one occasion the music was playing at the same time as I was on a phone call.

  • How do I set my iPhone 3G to sync automatically when connected to my computer?

    How do I set my iPhone 3G to sync automatically when connected to my computer? The button to "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is checked, and iTunes opens automatically, but it no longer syncs automatically as it did before the last update.  Now I have to hit the "Sync" button each time; much less convenient as I have to frequently update my calendar.

    On my iTunes at the top menu, in the Edit drop down menu, at the bottom is Preferences, click that, then pick icon Devices. Then in the middle there are check boxes, one has Prevent ipods,iPhones, ipads from syncing automatically. Try to leave this box empty. See if this helps.

  • My iphone starts playing music when I'm not even touching the phone

    My iphone 4 starts playing music when the phone is in my purse and I'm not touching it or even going through my purse. I've tried making sure the ipod is not set to a song but rather to a menu screen when I close it. Sometimes I haven't even used the ipod recently. My phone also calls people when I'm not touching it. Does anyone else have this problem? It must be something I'm doing but I can't figure out what it could be. I'd appreciate any help!

    Mine plays music when I have the iPhone 4 in my pocket and bend over a little, I know that kinda 'scrunches' the phone slightly but no other iPhone I've had ever did this and I've treated them all the same. I'll be walking along, pick up something and then the music starts playing. I don't touch anything, never attach headphones, basically the phone is asleep but somehow something triggers the music to start playing. I've entered this as a separate thread but no one seems to know why this happens. I suppose I could take the phone back and exchange it for a new one, but it would be better to know what is causing this.

  • Ow do I stop the ipad from playing music automatically when plugging into my car?

    I'd like to play my Scorch application through my car speakers but the iPad starts my music instead and doesn't give me an option to not play it.  Anyone know if it's possible to change it so it doesn't start automatically?

    I have the same issue.  Was attending a major conference, sitting in the VIP section, and suddenly in the middle of the keynote address, I heard music playing, coming from my leather bag.  Struggled to turn it off quickly before disrupting the event, but alas I wasn't quick enough.  Also have the new iPad.  Have tried everything, but it keeps launching sometime after I close the cover.  Need a solution, please!

  • My phone has started playing music when it connects to Bluetooth in my car. How do I stop it?

    With this last update, my iphone5 starts playing music every time it connects via Bluetooth in my car. I close the app but when I hang up from a call, the music starts again.  How do I turn this feature off?

    The iphone starts playing music automatically when it connects to either of the car stereos via bluetooth and I don't want it to as it drains the phone battery. This is particularly annoying on the ford as the car stereo doesn't even support streaming music!
    I don't want to lose the bluetooth connection as I need to make phone calls.
    Does anyone know how to switch off the automatic start for the music without losing the bluetooth connection?

  • Automatically connects to sync and will start playing music all the time even when not using sync

    My iPhone 4S will automatically start playing music as soon as I start my vehicle with sync.you can't hear it but on the screen it shows its playing even when listening to the radio

    Try resetting it if you can: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.  If you can't, try to connect it to iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your sync settings and click Restore to restore it.  If that doesn't work you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
    You can check in iTune to see if you have a backup.  They are listed in iTunes>Preferences>Devices.  However, the backup may not bring your contacts back as contacts are only backed up as necessary to preserve the recent call and call favorites lists.

  • Why does my iPhone 4s start playing music when I connect to a bluetooth unit?

    I have recently bought a new 4s and have attempted to use it with my Automedia handsfree bluetooth unit in the car. The phone worked fine with my previous (Android) phone, but whenever I receive a call on the 4s it starts playing music through the bluetooth unit as well as the telephone conversation. This does not happen when I make a call. Any suggestions on how I can stop the music playing? (The phone wont let me swap to the music player to put the music on hold either.) Any help greatly appreciated as this is really annoying.

    I considered that too, but when I double clicked the home button to show what apps were running, there was nothing there. I just don't understand how anything would have opened because I hadn't touched my phone in several minutes.

    I want to use an old 3 GS iPhone that is no longer in service as a phone now as just an iPod to play music. When I connect the phone to the computer with iTunes running, iTunes says it can't connect to the device because it didn't get a valid response from the device. How can I get the system to recognize the phone, and let me rename it as my iPod, instead of my phone?
    As an aside, the current installed operating system on this old iPhone is 4.2.1, but that wasn't one of the selectable options in the operating system list dropdown below. Don't know if that makes any difference.

  • My iPhone 4 plays music at a low volume when connected to a car stereo

    My iPhone 4 plays music at a low volume when connected to a car stereo either by fm transmitter or aux cable. The volume on the phone is full and the car stereo is full yet you can barely hear it. Anyone else had issues with this

    I seem to remember someone several months ago having this same problem and I think it turned out to be the AUX cord.
    FM transmitters tend to have low volume associated with them as well from my experience.

  • When hangup in bluetooth mode my iphone 5 starts playing music

    my i phone5 starts playing music over the bluetooth when i hang up my phone I reseted many times and it did not help!
    It started when i upgraded to IOS 7

    Hello there, MrSheffer.
    It sounds like you may have an application running in the background that plays music. The following Knowledge Base article offers up a great explanation on how to force close applications running in the background on your iOS device:
    iOS: Understanding multitasking
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4211
    When performing Step 2, I would recommend closing all open apps. If restarting doesn't help with Step 3, try the recommended resetting as well:
    If an app doesn't respond to your input, or doesn't perform as expected, do the following, testing after each step:
    Check for app updates.
    Force the app to close.
    Restart your device.
    Update your iOS device.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • 3g automatically starts playing music

    My 3G iphone will randomally start playing music....when I have either my iphone ear buds or other head phones connected.  I've updated to the latest software, wondering if there is a fix out there for this?

    I have the same problem with my BMW Parrott bluetooth. After every call music starts to play no matter what. It is very upsetting when I have people I'm working with in my car that when I end a business call start hearing my music all the time! Bluetooth of my car has no fault because is a very simple on-off device. Please help! My wife has the same problem different car/kit

  • Music starts playing at call end and on Bluetooth connection.

    Can anyone offer any tips to the battery draining problem of my Iphone 5 playing music all by it's self. This mainly happens when its connected to the cars Bluetooth and you dont hear the music or when you end a call. I've spoken to my fellow workers who have Iphone and a couple have the same problem. Any ideas or fixes would be great.

    Thanks Meg for your reply.
    It could be that both cable are bad. But, anyway, you would not expect any of these manifestations, even with a bad cable. I had bad cable for my 4s, and never saw such a thing! 
    I contacted by chat the support of Apple.  They told me that this behavior could be a software problem and recommended me to do a full recover of my iphone. That meant, putting in at the factory conditions and recup all the data from the backup.  I did that, and the behavior did not change.  The backup was made with the data of my PC, not icloud.  Tomorrow will try with icloud and check if that will work.

  • Both my iPhones have started playing music on their own

    I have an iPhone 5c and my wife has a brand new iPhone 5s. Last week, her phone suddenly started playing the Pup Fiction soundtrack without any reason I was out of town at the time).
    Yesterday and today, my iPhone started playing the Dexter theme tune, which I use as my ringtone (my wife doesn't use Pulp Fiction as her ring tone - she doens't even listen to it).
    Both phones share an iTunes account, but we each have our own iCloud account for email, calendars, documents, etc.
    In all three cases of this happening, neither phone was being used. They were just sitting on the desk.
    What could be causing this?

    I have done a reset before and the problem went away and came back again.
    When the problem happens the IPad becomes unusable. Can touch anything on the screen or even the home or power button.
    The only thing that works is a reset.
    A brightness icon comes up big on the screen as well when this is happening
    In that case you may want to consider resetting to factory settings (basically starting over from scratch). Or a trip to the Genious bar at your local Apple store, if you have one close by.
