You don't. Once you pair the phone to the car, it connects even when it's in your pocket. I do it all the time.
Now, if you want to use all the power of Android Auto to mirror your phone apps to the car's head unit, then you need to use a cable. I'm not sure why, but I imagine it is because bluetooth doesn't supply enough bandwidth.
I have no idea what the deal is with an iPhone. I'm strictly an Android user.
