Help Bluetooth problem in the car

[Pinmac1]

I have no bluetooth audio function in my car although I can make and receive phone calls via BT. I like to listen to podcasts in my car and use Podcast Addict to do this just using the phone with the volume high. When I turn on my phone in the car and turn on Podcast Addict the media volume on my phone gets switched off and I have to turn BT off and on to get the sound back on. This is quite irritating but the even stranger thing is that sometimes I get in the car and the sound stays on fine and I just get to play the podcast straightaway. This will go on for a week or so and then it will go back to cutting off the sound for a couple of weeks and so on.
I'm sorry if I've not explained this very well - I'm not sure I understand what's happening myself!

Have you tried using android auto?

Thank you. I have used Android Auto before on an old phone but found it a little over the top when all I wanted to do was play podcasts. Good idea though and I'l try it again because if it solves this problem it will be well worth it.
