Can the 2010 Teana play music via Bluetooth?
3 Answers
2010 Teana can play music via Bluetooth. Bluetooth connection method: Enable the Bluetooth function on both your mobile phone and the car navigation system, set the phone's Bluetooth to be visible to all devices, search for Bluetooth devices on the phone, select the car navigation's Bluetooth once found, and complete the pairing to establish the connection. Teana powertrain: The 2010 2.0L Teana is equipped with a naturally aspirated 4-cylinder MR20DE engine, paired with a continuously variable transmission. Teana body dimensions: The 2010 Teana measures 4850mm in length, 1795mm in width, and 1475mm in height.
I drive a 2010 Teana, and the factory Bluetooth in this car is mainly for making and receiving calls—it doesn't support direct music playback. Later, I bought a cheap Bluetooth receiver for a few dozen bucks and plugged it into the AUX port, so my phone can wirelessly play music now. If that's too much hassle, you can also use an FM transmitter plugged into the cigarette lighter, but the audio quality tends to fluctuate in urban areas due to radio interference. Now, commuting in my old buddy, I can still listen to my Jay Chou playlist every day—the cost of this mod is less than a full tank of gas. Actually, the USB port in the car can also play MP3s from a flash drive, but updating the playlist isn’t as convenient as using a phone.
As a DIY enthusiast, I solved this issue for my father-in-law's old Teana. The original car stereo's Bluetooth protocol is outdated, only supporting call transmission but not A2DP music streaming. I recommend disassembling the center console to install a third-party Bluetooth module, just connect the wiring harness to the original car audio system. For those with weaker hands-on skills, an external solution is more reliable: use a Type C to AUX cable to connect your phone, or purchase a Bluetooth car charger with aptX decoding. I've tested it—the external solution has a latency of about 0.3 seconds, which doesn't affect music listening but may cause audio-video sync issues when watching videos. Remember to set your phone's media volume to 80% to avoid background noise.
