I am using a Carplay wireless adapter in my car. I find that when I turn off the engine and leave the car, music is still playing on my iphone. I have to do a restart every time - how can I stop this from happening? I
iPhone XS, iOS 16
G'day terri18646,
Thank you for the details! It sounds like this is only happening when you use the adapter with your vehicle, so to look further into what's happening, it may be best to check in directly with the manufacturer of the adapter as they'll be in the best position to assist with their device: Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support

Kind regards.
But I discovered more just now. If I swipe down on my homepage to get to the control center, in the upper right hand corner, there is a box that says Not Playing but if I hit the arrow, it plays the music that I had playing in the car (in this instance, Frank Sinatra) but now I had to turn off the phone completely to stop the music because there didn't seem a way to end it any other way....
Hi terri18646,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
We're happy to provide some assistance. Since the music is originating from your iPhone, to be played on your car stereo via CarPlay, you'll need to pause the music before turning off your car.
If you pause from CarPlay, it should pause from the source, your iPhone.

I now realize that when using the wireless adapter, my wifi server changes from my normal one to the wifi from the adapter! I opened the settings on my iphone and saw this so now perhaps we can solve the problem??
Hello terri18646,
So to confirm, your wireless adapter also provides a Wi-Fi connection? Or are you referring to Bluetooth connections? So we can better understand what's going on, could you tell us your exact setup of devices and accessories as well as brands.
Thanks!
I will try my best to expain so please have a bit of patience - I am 87!
I have a Honda 2022 CRV which is not wireless so I purchased Wireless CarPlay Adapter Box 2022 Newest 5G Chip, for iPhone Fastest Speed Apple Car Play Dongle for All Factory Wired CarPlay Cars, Auto Connect No Delay Online Update, USB/Type C 2Cables, U2-Pr.
I installed that in my car - then I have my iphone XS.
The wireless adapter obviously does provide a wi-fi connection (or so it says!
After successfully using Apple Car Play and leaving the car, I have noticed that my iphone is playing the music that I was listening to in the car AND when I check setting on my phone, it is NOT using my everyday wi-fi connection but it is using the wi-fi connection from the adapter.
The only way I can get this to stop is to re-start my phone which is rather annoying.
But i have made an interesting discovery just now - when I go into Bluetooth on my phone, it has a device listed as smartBox-1E57 which is the adapter....so this is getting more interesting now. So perhaps it is the Bluetooth!
