Interface Between SE Mini and iphone

Is anyone else pulling out their hair trying to navigate the interface between their iPhone and SE? For example, I get in the car and have NO apps open on my phone. As soon as I start my car, it opens Audible, Amazon, and Spotify on my phone. Every time I get in the car. The kid behind the counter at the Dealership acted like I was crazy until I had him sit in my car and see the apps get launched as I turned on the car. He had no solutions.

Mostly I want to play podcasts from my phone through the car speakers. What is the best way to do this?

Thanks!
 
I think that's just CarPlay waking up the apps that are enabled for CarPlay on your phone. (Not a Mini thing) My phone does that on my SE and on my wife's CR-V. You can go in your phone settings and disable apps for CarPlay: Settings - general - Carplay - select car - customize. Delete any apps that you don't want waking up and just leave the Podcasts app. I listen to CarPlay Podcasts all the time and it works great.
 
Oh - and you can also hold and drag the CarPlay apps in that settings screen to determine how they show up on the Mini carplay screen. So you can move Podcasts to the top and it will always show on the first screen in the car.
