Blue Tooth Audio - Auto Connect

Hi everyone. I have an 2018 Limited. I’m wondering if there is a way for my phone to auto connect and start playing over the speakers when I stream music from my IPhone. I currently have to select “IPhone” as a source. I had two Yukon’s and phone would start playing over the vehicles speakers without having to select the phone as a source.

Thanks for your help

I haven't tried this yet, but if you don't stop the music before turning off the vehicle and opening the door, does it restart later when you reconnect?

I mention this because I've noticed with CarPlay that if I simply unplug the cable while it's playing, then when I reconnect for my next trip it just starts playing from the same place.

Mines will play if the music app is up. If theres another app up with media playback, it will not auto play. It will also start the music immediately if i was listening to music and turn the car off and back on as meeker made a point of. I actually reseted my system and turned off the auto play feature on my phone because the system kept dropping my bt connection. It doesnt do it much on my phone if it all but it does with my wifes phone still. I think she didnt change that feature on her phone.

In my case it works with the 2 apps I've tried - Music, and the RSS Radio podcast app. Haven't tried anything else so it could be that other apps don't resume.
