Is there any way to prevent my iPhone to connect to my car while I use Airpods? It's a bit annoying that while I am on a call and get into my car, iPhone automatically connects to the car's system. I prefer talking via Airpods. When I listen to music in my car, I do connect iphone via bluetooth. So, it is not practical to unpair my car. So, what I am doing every time I want to listen or talk via Airpods, once iPhone connects to the car, I go to bluetooth settings and disconnect the device. That too I need to do twice or thrice as iPhone connects again immediately after I disconnect.

When I had Samsung, I could choose in bluetooth settings that calls are only via headset not via car's bluetooth.

Is there any automation I can setup so that if iPhone is connected to Airpods, it won't connect to my car's bluetooth? And why iPhone connects to my car again though I disconnect it?
