Any way to change which app auto launches on Bluetooth connect?
I don't want to use Sony Music, I want to use Google Music. Or Spotify. Or etc.
Should I freeze Sony in TiBu?

I have the Droid Bionic, I want my Pandora and/or Music player to start playing music automatically when connected to the bluetooth on my truck. How do I set this up on my phone? Or should I check for this problem with my truck?
Market App called Automateit
Buy app called autostarts from market. Find media player in Bluetooth section disable them. Problem solved.

Sounds like something that can be done with Tasker. You can specify a State, that when the bluetooth is connected to a certain device (you can choose from a list of devices you're paired with) it will perform certain actions. Launching an app is pretty straightforward.
Pandora will play upon launch, but I don't know how to initiate playback in any of the main music players with Tasker. It's probably pretty easy. I think there's even a Tasker forum on this site you could ask for help.
I swear at one point when my car connected to my phone it would automatically launch Google Music and start playing,
Now it launches the stock Music Player app and starts playing, booo.
I use Google All Access.
I have been searching (unsuccessfully), how do I change the default app back to Google Music when connecting with BT (or for any audio for that matter)??

Nobody has anything? Seems like being able to change your default BT Music app shouldn't be that hard...
Is there anyway to disable the auto play upon bluetooth connection without disabling the "Media Play" on connected device property?
I used Titanium Backup to un-install the built-in music app.
Is there any other way to disable that annoying autoplay?

I have no way of testing anything like this but what came to mind while reading your post was this:
Uninstall Spotify
Disable Google Play Music
Reboot
Download Spotify apk from apkmirror.com
Copy name of Spotify apk without ".apk"
In /system/app/ (same location as Play Music) create folder with the name you copied
Copy Spotify apk into that new folder
Change folder permissions to 0755
Change apk permissions to 0644
Reboot

Why would sideloading spotify help in this situation? It wont.
@leekene, are you running a stock rom or custom? Also try going to settings>apps and goto google play music and push the "clear defaults" button and see if that helps.
cheers guys i tried that before with the clear defaults. i think the issue is google play is the default music player, where spotify is just an App on a phone that allows streaming. so when the car requests music it will request the music player which is understandable but in my mind there must be something i can do to boot spotify instead.

/system/app/ instead of /data/app/.
Get an NFC tag and write it so when you get in your car, just tap the tag and have the bluetooth connect to the car and then open Spotify.
This is how I have it set up in my car (08 GTI) with Pandora.
Or, use Tasker and build a profile that will do it by voice commands via Autovoice.
I use an app by Sony called smart connect, it will auto open/play any app or tracks based on Bluetooth device connection or aux connection. Ex. I turn on my work Truck, it will connect to the Bluetooth stereo open Google music and play the last track. Plug in headphones and it will open Netflix for me (only reason I would use headphones personally). It also allows time triggers as well.

disable play music, use poweramp. bluetooth settings in poweramp has an option to auto play music upon bluetooth connection
So when I'm connected to my AVH-4100NEX, audio from Spotify works. Is this actually transmitting the audio over Bluetooth (and not USB)?
When connected, I noticed I cannot play Media audio from other apps. Why is this? Any way to get all Media audio to play when connected as Android Auto?
So far, the only advantages I'm seeing for using Android Auto vs Bluetooth audio are: Maps on screen, prettier Spotify on screen, Google Now on unit. I could do most of this with the phone itself over just Bluetooth.
Don't get me wrong, I really like it and this receiver, but it seems more limited. Perhaps it's for safety, but it's not all that much safer. In Spotify, you can't scroll through all of your library or lists "for safety", but who's to say that my passenger isn't scrolling?
I too have a 4100nex. I think music is played over Bluetooth. One way to know for sure is to disconnect the usb while it's playing.
As you said, you can't play music from other apps. There is a list of compatible apps that work with Android Auto. If it's not on that list, you can't use it. I didn't like the viewing restrictions on Google play music so I use an SD card for all of my music. I like Google maps and the texts over voice so for me, I like Android Auto for those reasons.
There is an app....... something reloaded. I can't think of the name but it will allow you to basically mirror your phone to the screen and you can access all of the apps. Good luck.
