REPEAT issue when playing from car Bluetooth

Hi there,

I'm coming back to you with an annoying problem that was described in this thread a few months ago:

Basically, every time I start my car and connect my phone to Bluetooth, Deezer automatically puts the playlist in REPEAT mode. I always have to turn off REPEAT mode before driving.

However, contrary to my message in the above thread, Deezer doesn't go back to REPEAT mode when Google Maps or Apple Maps give voice instructions.

So I think the latest updates have partially fixed the problem, but they haven't solved the fact that Deezer defaults to REPEAT mode every time I start my car and play music via Bluetooth.

Here's my configuration (as mentioned in the thread above): 

- I’m running Deezer 10.3.0.5 ;
- iPhone 12 on iOS 17.2.1 ;
- The car is a Mercedes C-Class C200 with Mercedes Infotainment (I couldn't find a specific name in the manual). According to the list of Bluetooth devices on my phone, the media centre is detected as MB Bluetooth. But it's clearly not MBUX as it's fitted with later models (2020 onwards);
- I don't know the Bluetooth version (it's not mentioned anywhere in the manual or in the media centre settings);
- 2017 is the year of manufacture;
- This media centre doesn't support Apple Carplay.

I can connect my phone to the media centre via USB. However, for some reason I don't know, the media centre can't play anything from my phone when it's connected via USB. REPEAT mode doesn't activate when I try to play a track while it's connected via USB (although no sound comes out of the speakers, even at high volume).

I don't have this problem with REPEAT turning on when playing from other Bluetooth speakers (JBL Go, Samsung soundbar) or headphones.

Thanks in advance for your help!
