Bluetooth syncing with car

My 3GS is syncing just fine with my car's bluetooth. The problem is - too good.

As soon as I start the car it starts streaming music from my phone.
My first gen never did this, and I've not found a way to stop it.

I want it to auto sync with the phone - I do not want it to start playing music from the iPod portion everytime I get in the car. So how do I stop it?

Bobtomay , 1st I can't believe I am trying to answer a question from you ! Ok I called a buddy who does this he said in his car ( ford with sync) that there is a setting on the in car system labeled auto play. Claims he had the same problem untill he turned it off.

Really hope it helps

Good tip - hadn't thought of looking there since my first iPhone didn't do this.

Armed with that info I went looking and found this :
with Bluetooth audio playing > menu button > media menu > media settings > auto play (last option) > toggles on/off

I found it at :Microsoft Ford Sync, iPhone 3.0 OS and bluetooth streaming (Sweet!) | A Rubber Door

Well, it's definitely got to do with the Sync by MS settings.

I'm gonna have to keep looking, as soon as I turned that off, it totally turns off the bluetooth and when trying to use the phone controls says no bluetooth device found.

I was hoping it would be a simple fix.

Looks like that did fix it. Think it was just that one time, right after I turned off the autoplay that it wouldn't connect. The bluetooth was connecting just fine yesterday. Thanks clay.

Glad it helped.
