Occasionally I'll notice that my car will keep connected to my phone even after I leave the car and lock it. I'll notice it when I try to play audio or get a notification on my phone but the phone doesn't make any sound until I disconnect from the car. This most recently happened when I was at home (car parked in attached garage) charging the car so the car stayed on, even though I locked the car through the mobile app. After manually disconnecting from the car on my phone, when I went out of Bluetooth range but returned within range (without entering the car but while the car was still attached to the charger), the car reconnected to Bluetooth and took over my phone's audio output until I manually disconnected it again.

Is this a normal experience other people have had? Any solutions other than manually disconnecting whenever you notice your phone has reconnected? I feel like the software solution to this would be "if car would lock (ie if it would time out after not being accessed), then disconnect from other devices" and it should only reconnect for media after a door is opened and the car turns back on, rather than connected to devices for media just because they are in range. I guess this could be an issue with my phone being overly aggressive connecting to Bluetooth media devices rather than the car, but I haven't noticed that with other Bluetooth devices I use like headphones.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 and a 2025 Lucid Air Touring on 2.6.16.
 
What Android phone app version do you have? Try updating to the latest 2.4.1 version if you haven't already.

Complainers... we need the car to open from 20 ft away so there is no delay getting into car.
Techs... ok we will increase the blue tooth signal
Complainers... now my bluetooth connects from 20 ft away. Ahhhhh.
