do you have the keyless fob and memory setting on your door? Try setting everything where you want it for default, including stereo presets and which media screen you want to see. Then save memory setting to your preferred number on the door. Then go to your manual and save that memory number to your key fob. Then when ever you get in the truck with that fob, it should have all that set for you. I'm not sure if it will default to the Bluetooth media screen or not. Mine defaults to the Sirius sat screen, which is where I had it when I set my memory default.

Mine usually auto connects back to my phone and starts playing when I get in.

I said "usually" because sometimes it seems to take too long to connect, and flips back to FM radio. Hell, sometimes it connects, but then loses the connection a few minutes later before reconnecting. Mind you, it disconnects while I'm sitting in the seat driving, not walking 20-30ft away running out of range. THAT is a bit irritating.

Mine always defaults back to whatever source I was listening to last. If it wasn't Bluetooth, my iPad (my music storage device) will reconnect first when I select it, and then start playing. This is the Sony radio w/ MFT.
