Pavel Jelic If you are one of the owners of one of the newer cars, you probably also have CarPlay available. If you don't know what CarPlay is, it's an apple add-on for vehicle infotainment. Thanks to CarPlay, you can easily control music, send voice messages, or perhaps follow navigation from your favorite apps. All you need to get CarPlay working is an iPhone – and of course a compatible vehicle. After moving into the vehicle, most of us immediately start playing music. The process looks like you unlock your iPhone, go to the music app and start playback.

So, using the method above, you can set your iPhone to automatically start playing music when connected to CarPlay. If you use Apple Music, you can use the Play Music action and choose exactly what music should start playing. At the same time, you can also add an action that will set the playback volume to 100%. There are really countless different options and there are no limits to your imagination - it's definitely worth going through the automations thoroughly and possibly creating ones that make sense for you. If you don't have CarPlay, but use classic Bluetooth, then in the first step, instead of CarPlay, you can select Bluetooth and the device to start playback after connecting.
I drive a Skoda Kodiaq MY2021 and music, or audiobooks (based on what was last played on my phone) start automatically when I start the vehicle. Nothing needed to be set up... I'm using an iPhone 8 Plus.
Suzuki S-Cross and iPhone 11 and absolutely the same
Don't you know where you can turn this off? I don't want my music to play automatically. And I can't find anywhere how to turn it off. Whether on the phone or in the car settings. Thanks a lot
