Passat bluetooth activates phones' music service?

[verylongdrive]

After several unsuccessful attempts, our salesman succeeded in hooking up our two cell phones to our new Passat's Bluetooth interface.

Since then, we occasionally find that one or the other of the phones, having not been used during or since the last drive, is sitting there in the (otherwise unused) Verizon Vcast (music streaming/download?) menu.

I do remember the something like "connect bluetooth music" flashing by as the salesman was trying to connect the phones, and am vaguely aware that it's possible to play music from your phone through Bluetooth.

How do I turn this off so the car can quit putting the phone in this mode, and potentially racking up charges? If it's described in the manual, does it work? If there are multiple conflicting instructions, which one is true? (I ask since in two far-apart places in the manual, there are two distinct ways to turn off DRLs, and neither of which works.)

Handbrake up turns off the DSL's, as does VagCom software by long coding.

There's a menu option somewhere -- I've used it, but can't remember where it is -- that is to the effect of "auto play bluetooth". You want to disable that. When I had it enabled, my phone would always launch its media player whenever it saw the car. Now it doesn't. Sales lady turned it on... her description of it was not what it actually does. What it actually does is that whenever the head unit sees a bluetooth phone, it attempts to immediately connect to its media and start playing.

Niner is right about the DRLs, as the owners manual procedure does not work for me either.

Drew is right about the radio option for automatically playing the radio when BT connects, through the radio setup somewhere.

Thank you. I forgot about the Setup menu in the radio, though I saw the salesman go to it a few times while setting up the phone - and that's where I found the Aux Input enable/disable setting, after the salesman figured the radio didn't "recognize" my MP3 player (plugged into the analog aux input, mind you...) and that's why the "Aux" source option button stayed greyed out.
Are they even silly enough to sell a car with this radio without the <$1 aux cable installed?
If so, what's the point of aux-disable if the button is still left in the display, just uglier?
Even then, why does it not default to "enable"?
Since it doesn't, why let a car leave the factory without checking that it's enabled? "How to gain critics and lose customers"?
