Help with Bluetooth

Hey guys, need some help please...

Every time I get into my GT S, the Bluetooth automatically connects and starts playing music from Pandora, even if my Pandora was off...

What I do next is open the Pandora app, then proceed to close it.. and music is gone.. but the Bluetooth goes on "pause", and I don't hear any texts or notifications come through (phone calls ring in just fine)

It's driving me crazy, and there is other finicky things that happen when I try to switch to Youtube or googlemaps, and I've tried to go through options both in the car and on my iPhone, and cant seem to make it work like it should.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

If I am not mistaken Mercedes-Benz says that their software has nothing to do with it. They say that that is the result of the operating system design of the mobile phone. In other words, they maintain that the music is being pushed into their audio system rather than the Mercedes-Benz audio system pulling it from the mobile phone.

Although I have an android phone I would have to agree. This happen with every bluetooth device that my phone is connected to, if they grab my phones signal and connect, either pandora or spotify will start to play. Happens in most of my cars most of the time, as well as bluetooth headset. Not all the time, but most.

Happened after the latest iOS update on all my cars. I ended up having to wipe my phone for another unrelated phone issue and the cars stopped pulling in the music. I would bet its a phone side issue as well.

It's been on my iPhone(s) ever since my first GTS - 5 years ago. Maybe there's a setting I don't know about if it only just happened to someone....Would love to know about it if someone has it.

What I do before I plug in my phone (I prefer it wired) is either change my music to what I want so I hear that, or put it on pause or mute the vol. Yes it is an annoyance.
