With iOS 15, Music app always starts when using CarPlay

I am a Deezer and Apple Music user, but my default music app is Deezer. Every time I connect my iPhone with iOS 15 to Mercedes Benz multimedia with CarPlay, it starts playing Apple Music even if it is not open or in use.

Sorry, I was wrong, it didn't work. I'm using iOS 15.6 and the Apple Music app still starts playing automatically, even when I was using another streaming app minutes ago, it seems iOS prioritizes the Music even though I'm using another app.

This occurs with bluetooth audio too.

Hello Kleytonns



Thanks for connecting with Apple Support Communities. We understand that Apple Music automatically plays when your phone is connected to CarPlay.


By chance, do you have AutoPlay enabled in the Music app? Here's how to check:


1. Tap the song that's playing at the bottom of your screen.

2. In the lower-right corner of your screen, tap Playing Next the Playing Next icon.

3. Scroll down to Autoplay. 
To turn Autoplay on or off, tap the Autoplay button the Autoplay button icon in the upper-right corner of your screen. If you turn
off Autoplay on one of your devices, then Autoplay is turned off on any device that's signed in with
your Apple ID.
