> iOS thinking it's being helpful so that when I "plug" headphones (either physically, bluetoothically, or carplayly) I presumably want to play music

There’s gotta be something else going on because I’ve never had this happen over the last decade. I’m pretty sure the car is sending a play command to the phone every time it connects.

I’ve had tons of cars and only seen this behaviour in one - think was Citroen.

Mercedes does this. A Ford that I rented last year did so as well.

Except it happens randomly with headsets, whether bluetooth (Bose QC35) or wired (EarPods)
