iPhone radio app continually restarting in car

MUSIC /RADIO APPS CONTINUALLY REOPENING & RESTARTING .

An extremely frustrating issue for which I have not found a solution.

I don’t know if this problem is related to the way that my I iPhone is configured ? Or is it to do with the set up on my vehicle headset , anyway I hope that someone will have a solution to this annoying problem ?

THE SITUATION IS AS FOLLOWS …. My iPhone is connected to my 2 car headsets using bluetooth

When in my cars ,I open an application for streaming e.g.- BBC radio app and the following occurs :-

Situation A

(this seems normal )

I open the music app and listen .

Without touching the phone I stop the car, turn off the ignition ,close it , do what I need to do .

Return to the car &switch on the ignition the app resumes playing .

Situation B

(This is the really annoying one for which I need advice !)

Whilst in the car I stop the app ,close it down, because I no longer want to listen.

I stop the car, turn off the ignition ,close it , do what I need to do ,later return to the car & switch on the ignition >

The app REOPENS and resumes playing again despite me not wanting it open.

and this will happen over and over again , even if I leave the car for more than 24hrs or turn off the iPhone E.g overnight .

So it has re-opened when I re-enter the vehicle and I have to turn it off & shut it down, but if I receive a phone call ,once the phone call completed the app then reopens again!

If I turn off the headset in the car and restart it this also restarts the app.


In fact the only way I can have peace is to switch the headset off or the phone !!


Thanks in advance for your replies
