I'd love to pwn the head unit in my 2014 Honda CR-V just so I can stop it from sending a "Play" command every time a phone associates with the Bluetooth and the audio system was left "on".

I also have a 2014 CR-V and I hate this too. But even moreso, I hate that there isn't a play/pause button at all. If I need to stop audio (e.g. pulling up to a drivethru, or starting a conversation), I gotta hit the phone. Heaven forbid I'm playing a CD, nothing I can do at that point.

Putting up a bug bounty of "ordering you a pizza" if anyone tackles this!

I get pause (for Bluetooth playback, at least) by pushing the volume encoder knob. That works well for me.

It's probably easier to just buy an aftermarket head unit. The only thing you'll need to confirm is that it supports features you care about e.g. steering wheel controls.

Probably more difficult than hijacking the display with the pi. But that's just a vibe.
