OK so looks like IOS11 is ver clever with my radio.

I got a 2001 hyundai tiburon (well it not a tiburon in my country but you are state side) with a home brand head unit from a local electronics store.
The have a home brand unit with radio/CD/SD/USB/Bluetooth.

I only ever use SD cards in my car now.
So my fiancee came to town by train and got a lift home with me when I finished work.

Now my car was playing music from SD card when my fiancee iphone se rings.
Nothing strange there.... BUT it rang through my car radio!
The phone switched my radio to bluetooth mode automatically!

The driving mode must have kicked in, even though she set it to manual in settings.
Phone was in her bag so it must have detected was in bag with light sensor or something.

Was actually a good thing, all we did was hit the answer button on the radio and talk to the radio!
We actually like this!

Was more surprised the iphone was able to change radio mode by itself!
After all it is cheap unit with 1GB limit on SD and USB memory.
