iPhone Bluetooth vs Dock Mode

So my iPhone X is connected via Bluetooth. When I play music from my iTunes library, the music pauses every time I connect or disconnect the phone to one of the 2 USB ports inside the armrest. I then have to switch the audio on my phone back to Bluetooth mode from Dock mode. This is very annoying. Is there a way to make the 2 USB ports work only for charging, so they wouldn't make the phone go into dock mode? Or is there another solution to connect and disconnect the phone from USB pots so that Bluetooth audio is not interrupted?

If you just need to plug in for charging, get a cig lighter socket to USB adapter.

Yes, but the cigarette lighter looks so ugly when it's open

check out my post in this thread... if you have an iPhone X you could charge wirelessly and not have to see the cig lighter tray.
