How can I stop iTunes from automatically playing music

I

iMore Question

When I get into my car with blue tooth, the iPhone 6 automatically connects. While I am trying to stream music or podcasts, iTunes will automatically take over and begin playing a random song. iTunes was not running in the background or playing prior to getting into the car.

How can I set iTunes to not start playing automatically?

Is there a setting with your car infotainment system similar to "Stream audio" that can be disabled?

I had the same issue last weekend in a courtesy car but I don't have any music at all stored on the phone.
