Reminds me.

To connect my phone to Android Auto in my car, the thing has first to 
connect via Bluetooth, and I have to put my fingerprint to unlock my phone.

Recently I took my car to be serviced, and I got a complimentary 
substitution car. Same model as mine, but more modern. I just plugged it 
and it connected, no questions. I was a bit surprised. I thought my 
phone should have the control to connect or not.
