I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if I have some sort of software glitch but if I have been using Apple CarPlay to use Spotify then every time I get into the car after this it tries to play the last song from Spotify when the phone connects to the car. If I want the radio on then it cuts out when the phone connects to the car. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks. I’ve had a look in my settings but can’t see anything obvious, it’s probably right in front of me but can’t seem to find the button to switch it off!

Mine used to do the same but now for some reason doesn't. No idea why!
