Why does my phone reconnect to an old car stereo while I am inside the house?

Our answer

Forget the old car pairing or turn off Bluetooth auto-connect; proximity can reconnect across walls.

Why this approach makes sense

Device software, permissions and connected services change how a feature behaves; use settings for the actual model rather than a generic workaround.

Before you try it

Verify the relevant device and account permissions, and make changes one at a time.
