Music Automatically Switching From Aux to AirPods Pro 2

When I’m wearing one AirPod and have my iPhone 12 Pro Max connected to the aux in my car playing music through my car speakers, the music will will automatically switch to my AirPod. I will change it back to “Dock Speaker” and the music will play for a bit via aux and then it will switch back to my AirPod. This cycle repeats over and over.

This started happening last week and seems to have coincided with an AirPods Pro 2 firmware update to 5E133.


Has anyone else encountered this?

AirPods Pro (2nd generation)

No. I have not encountered this.


Recommend this to Apple:

Do your Part: Let Apple know what has occurred. Apple may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what bugs exist, and what fixes to include in firmware versions to come.

  1. Go Here: Feedback - AirPods - Apple
  2. Select: "Bug Report" for the "Feedback Type"
  3. Comment: that this all began after installing an update. Include the URL to this thread.
  4. Proceed from there as necessary

This started for me with 16.4 on my iPhone 13 Pro. But I am in my car. Music is playing on my car stereo but I have one AirPod in my ear for calls. Randomly it will switch the music to my AirPods. I have never had an issue with this before.

Additionally this was before the latest firmware update.

Reset, re-pairing both AirPods and my car didn’t change the behavior.
