Weird Bluetooth behaviour

    Hi all,

    I've a OnePlus 7T Pro with up to date firmware etc.

    I sometimes listen to the UK radio station LBC on my laptop Chrome Browser (background noise when I'm working) and during all the Brexit shambles in the UK last year used to listen to it in the car using the LBC Radio App which would connect to my built in car bluetooth system but I uninstalled the app months ago.

    Last week out of the blue when my phone connected to the car it automatically started streaming LBC radio. I was surprised as the phone normally auto plays whatever media app I was last using and 99% of the time that's either a podcast app or Spotify.

    All I could think of was that because I'd been playing LBC on my desktop browser my Android Chrome app must somehow have sync'd and started playing it.

    I subsequently stopped listening to LBC on my desktop but everytime I connect my phone to my car bluetooth it starts playing LBC radio. I've cleared apps and manually made sure I haven't got the app installed so I'm stumped as to why the phone is pushing an LBC radio stream everytime I load Bluetooth.

    Anyone experience anything similar or have any ideas? It's obviously not a big deal but it is bugging me that I can't figure it out.
