I'd love to pwn the head unit in my 2014 Honda CR-V just so I can stop it from sending a "Play" command every time a phone associates with the Bluetooth and the audio system was left "on".

I also have a 2014 CR-V and I hate this too. But even moreso, I hate that there isn't a play/pause button at all. If I need to stop audio (e.g. pulling up to a drivethru, or starting a conversation), I gotta hit the phone. Heaven forbid I'm playing a CD, nothing I can do at that point.

Putting up a bug bounty of "ordering you a pizza" if anyone tackles this!

Had a Chevy that was extremely obnoxious about this. If it was playing over USB it absolutely would not allow it to stop. Hitting pause on the phone would have the car immediately hit play to restart it.

I get pause (for Bluetooth playback, at least) by pushing the volume encoder knob. That works well for me.
