They really are.

Yup. Toyota and Subaru are particularly egregious about this. Something about using old cable/ipod implementations which would immediately reach for the default media player and telling it to start playing (and download a list of songs or some other BS).

Yup. Especially if you have the audacity to use Spotify or something else.
There's some really shitty bluetooth audio interfaces out there. REALLY shitty.

Oh noes, I've been-modded by some members of the BT consortium, apparently.
Keep up the "good" work, guys! Don't spend all your licensing fees at the pub... unless you're buying a round for the house!
Bluetooth implementations are trash. Rented a brand-new Toyota over the summer and its radio suffered from all the same playback defects that Bluetooth has been offering for a decade or more. Playback randomly starting when not told to... showing the wrong info on the display... showing that no songs were available but playing songs anyway (four out of five times; once it did decide to show a song list).
