No matter young or old, male or female, people would like to play music in a car in order to keep the driver awake, avoid long silence when you don't know what to say to the passengers or enjoy music time when hitting the traffic jam. Now, as many cars have Bluetooth stereo systems so it's very convenient to listen music in the car, which means once you get into the car, it will automatically start to play Apple music in the car from your iPhone.

For whatever reasons you want to turn off apple music autoplay, you may find that your iPhone doesn't provide "Turn off autoplaying music over Bluetooth" switch or similar button directly. But don't worry, I'd like to introduce some easy ways to stop Apple Music from automatically playing in car. The following methods are classified into two kinds, you can choose either setting your car or iPhone in your preference.
Part 1. Turn Off Apple Music Autoplay by Setting in Car

Option 3: Turn Off the CarPlay
Even though your Bluetooth stereo system doesn't officially support CarPlay, you can also use the Restrictions section of the Settings app to turn off Apple Music Autoplaying. Before getting into the car, open the Settings app, click on "General" and go on "Restrictions", then select "Enable Restrictions" and enter the passcode, finally toggle the CarPlay switch to "Off".

Siri is always a good helper for iPhone users which can help you turn on, turn off the app or talk with you.

Deleting the Apple Music app on the iPhone can stop Apple Music automatically when you getting into the car, however, it's not a really good method, so I don't recommend you to use this method. If you do need to delete the Apple Music app, then you can try to use another famous streaming music services such as Spotify and Pandora.
Option 5. Send Apple Feedback
Except the above methods, you can tell Apple Inc. about the problem and ask Apple Inc. to put in a setting switch to make it happen. Maybe you are the one who can persuade Apple Inc. to add such setting switch.
Nothing is perfect, even if you may find it convenient to play Apple Music in the car through Bluetooth system, it could be an annoyance sometimes. To stop stop apple music from automatically playing, you can choose one of methods which are shown as above in your preference.
