Default Sync "autoplaying" Pandora?

Hi All:

I have a 2014 XLT with the "regular" version of Sync (not the touch screen). I've synced my iPhone 6 and for the most part, it's working well.

That being said, every time I turn on the truck and my phone connects via bluetooth, Pandora will start in the background on my phone (even if I had just the regular radio playing on the truck). I didn't realize it was doing this since I can't hear it unless I swap over to bluetooth audio on the truck, and I'll burn through some data unknowingly each time I start the truck unless I remember to open and close Pandora on my phone when I crank up the truck.

I've turned off Autoplay in the sync menu, but this problem remains. Any ideas?

My 2014 does the same thing, and I love this feature. I was able to switch over to an unlimited data plan on my cell phone and even reduce my monthly charges.

It's not the truck, it's the phone. When your phone detects a bluetooth audio connection, it starts the default (or last) music app. There should be a setting in the phone to turn it off. I know there is in Android, not sure where in iPhone though.
