I know I can manually disconnect it in the phone settings, but I would rather manually connect instead of auto connect. I listen to podcasts once in a while when driving and like to play it through the speakers, but not a fan of the calls and texts going through the speakers.

I use the bluetooth for my watch, so turning it off and back on when I use the Durango would be a pain. Just like disconnecting the radio from the phone each time. Was hoping there was a setting or something to use. Thanks for the tip though.

Apple deleted the 3.5mm audio plug (2016?) long ago, I don't think the USB port will recognize the phone as a media player. The 2017 and later _might_ recognize it? Or it may just go full CarPlay boogie? What you can try, go into phone settings, (don't have the D here, but from foggy memory), delete the phone but keep the paired audio device. I really don't know if that will work, never tried it. '68 Fury Convertible '69 300 Convertible '15 Durango 5.7 Hemi '16 300 S Hemi

I listen to my podcasts every day that way and to me its easier than messing with the bluetooth. 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee 383 A4 1970 Plymouth Road Runner 440 FC7 (sold)

You are functionally unable to use a normal head phone set with it. You need the extra cost adapter mentioned, I have one. That adapter will not let you use a headphone/mic combo with a 3.5mm plug either. At least the one I have won't. You can listen, but no one can heard you speak. But since only my work phone is an Apple I don't care, I expensed out a new Apple specific set, if I had to buy one for myself I would be PO'd.

No way I know of to keep it from connecting as a phone as long as bluetooth is turned on, sorry. '68 Fury Convertible '69 300 Convertible '15 Durango 5.7 Hemi '16 300 S Hemi
