Spotify starts playing automatically when I turn on Bluetooth or plug in a headset

how can I stop Spotify from playing every time I turn on Bluetooth or plug in a headset? this is very annoying especially if you want to listen another applicationor if you get in your car and the radio starts blurring automatically.

this is a feature of android actually. People have had luck with applications to block this behavior such as:

That option did not work so I uninstalled Spotify from my device.

I have the same issue on iphone 5. Spotify starts playing when I get into my car, it does that even if you cant hear it (e.g. Because you can hear the radio), spotify plays in the background and uses up my download limit without me even knowing.

I've been searching for answers for the last hour. Couldn't really find anything so I'll post this in a few threads in the hopes the next poor sap like me sees it.
Kind on bad news. You'll need to be rooted. 

Grab and app like MyAndroidTools and disable the "SpotifyMediaBrowserService"

To be clear this isn't completely Spotify's fault. It's android that searches it out and starts it but they should have an option in the app to disable this.

Unfortunately, rooting the device is out of the question for some who are on a contract with their devices provider this will void the warranty of the device. They can't do anything for you if you brick your device. There has to be another solution to this that does not require root administration like there is for other issues.
