Just put your car in your ears.

I have the opposite of this, i never understand when I see people driving with their earbuds in.

We have a 2017 prius prime that does this but if nothing is playing it will spool up your iTunes music library and hit play on the first song.

I haven’t used iTunes in ages, so now when I get into drive the car it greets me with Smash Mouth’s timeless classic All Star.

For airpods, just double tap the one you have set to Play/Pause and it will resume in your ears.

I remember connecting to my mom's car via bluetooth to play music one day, and then like a year later I visit her again and it starts autoplaying some random shit I was watching on YouTube without any prompt. The prospects of what that might unexpectedly reveal to people are terrifying.

It's more than mildly when I'm shoveling snow and my wife starts the car to warm up. Every time I get within 10 feet of the car my phone disconnects my earbuds. Same if I'm doing yardwork when she gets home.

Even more annoying because my phone can output to two Bluetooth devices at once. If you think it's so important the new device needs connecting just do both.

But they should never automatically change Bluetooth devices. If I'm getting in the car you can switch devices when I pull out my earbuds and they shut off when I put them in their case.

I've got a slightly different version of this problem. I work from home, and if my wife drives my car out of or into the driveway while I'm on a call, even if I'm in my office in the basement, my phone will disconnect my earbuds and route my audio to my car.

Depending on where you live, you could be breaking the law. In the USA, doing that in some states is illegal. See here.

Bluetooth for audio might be the worst implementation of a specification every devised. Ridiculous lag, no multipoint connection, no ability to manage or negotiate connections from the device, limited ability to define the connection (audio vs headset among the culprits). BT for audio just seems like a cruel joke.
