BMW Connect: can it be made not to start automatically?

I like having the BMW connect program, because you never know when you might want to flash your lights, but I don't like that it automatically starts up on my phone any time my car starts. Is there some way to make it only start when I choose to start it?

Thanks!

My app doesn't auto-run when I start my car. If your phone gets connected via bluetooth to the car, maybe the bluetooth connection is triggering the app to start..?

Ron, I was able to turn it off by going to manage mobile devices in the idrive and turning the apps off.

Will it still start up and operate when you want it to tho? I just don't want it launching in the iPhone until I call for it.

The Connect App on the phone does. I just turned my lights on with it from the office.
