This strange behavior is driving me crazy. If my iphone is connected by bluetooth to my i3, and I launch the google app (the stand alone search app, not the map or the chrome browser), the car starts dialing my number. The call connects and stays connected for 30-45 secs.

No idea why this happens, but it only happens when the phone is connected to the i3.

Anyone else experiencing it? Or know how to stop it.

Related and also annoying -- the iphone starts to play something random from my Music app as soon as the i3 is connected. Would love to know how to stop this as I don't always want it and would prefer to be in charge of this.
 
Yup, something similar happens with mine, iPhone 4S, it looks like I am calling myself and I can't hang up right away, very annoying. Haven't figured out the cause, maybe Waze, but I don't use the Google app, so it must be some other hiccup, possibly a glitchy initial handshake between car and phone.
