My most hated "feature" of all time - Bluetooth auto connect. I have my phone connected to the stereo in the garage via BT, and streaming music..fire up the truck in the driveway to move it, the phone auto connects to the truck, starts playing music in it instead, and stops in the garage. To get it back to the garage, after shutting the truck off, I have to disconnect/reconnect the garage BT.
Similar thing happens pulling up in the driveway...music playing in the truck, pull in driveway, and music auto switches to the garage before even turning truck off.
I've had times that a BT headset in my pocket gets accidentally turned on, and boom..music auto switches over. Someone turns on a BT speaker, and music switches..
It's not just one phone either. Currently running a Samsung Xcover 6 pro, but this same thing happens with my Samsung Tab A, OnePlus 8t, Moto Z2 Force, and others too.
Bluetooth auto-connect can indeed be frustrating when it interrupts your listening experience. Here’s a general approach to managing Bluetooth auto-connect on various devices:
Disable Auto-Connect in Bluetooth Settings: Some devices allow you to disable auto-connect for specific Bluetooth devices. Check your Bluetooth settings to see if there’s an option to manage auto-connect preferences. Use Bluetooth Advanced Settings:
Turning off Bluetooth on your device when not in use can prevent it from connecting to nearby devices automatically.
Remove Unwanted Pairings: Consider removing the pairing for devices you don’t want to auto-connect. You can always pair them again when needed. Manage Connections Manually: Manually connect to your desired Bluetooth device each time, instead of relying on auto-connect features. Check for Device-Specific Solutions: Some devices may have specific settings or apps that can help manage Bluetooth connections more granularly. Update Your Devices: Ensure that your devices are updated with the latest software, as updates may include improved Bluetooth management options.
Remember, the exact steps can vary depending on the device and its operating system version.
Expand “Connectivity” and tap the “Bluetooth Configure” button.Select “Disconnect Audio Device” and tap “o*k.” Once again, pick the device you want to keep from connecting and tap “o*k.”

If there are no auto-connect options to disable on the speaker, you'll want to disconnect the device manually on your iPhone in Settings > Bluetooth > tap the 'i' next to the Bluetooth name, then Disconnect. Take care!
If Apple Music keeps playing automatically every time you get into your car, the easiest way to stop it is to turn off your iPhone or iPad's Bluetooth to prevent a connection from being made. You may also want to turn off your car's Bluetooth if you don't use it for anything else.
If you receive a notification on your phone to connect to a device, and you did not request it, then you select the option to block the request. That device will no longer be able to request a connection to your phone.
