My Question or Issue

I would like spotify to start and play the current playlist everytime when a bluetooth connection is established to an certain device.

My car is OLD, it doesnt have built in bluetooth so I have a unit that plugs into the light/power socket.

It works, the audio is OK and I can start spotify.

My irritation is, all of this is manual, start the car, unlock phone, open spotify, hit play, put down phone and drive like my hair is on fire.....

I want start the car and drive to be my only actions, all of starting spotify and pressing play needs to happen by itself.

99% of people seem to have been upset by this functionality and want the default to be "dont play any music" which seems odd, just turn the damn stereo down fool!

So I want my £10.00 Bluetooth to FM converter to start spotify when the phone connects to one bluetooth device.

How hard can it be ?

Once I'm rolling it works fine, I can skip tracks backwards and forwards and even take calls, I . JUST . WANT . IT . TO . Start please.......?

None of this is really car related, if I wanted a pair of headphones to start spotify the process should be the same.
