Establish a pairing relationship between your phone and the car's Bluetooth. Turn on the Bluetooth function on both your phone and the car's Bluetooth device, and set the phone's Bluetooth to 'Visible to All' in the settings. Then, search for Bluetooth devices on your phone. Once found, select it to pair and connect. The pairing password is: 0000. After successful pairing, the connection will be established. Once the car's Bluetooth and your phone's Bluetooth are successfully paired and connected, you can make and receive calls. You can also play music on your phone and enjoy it through the car's Bluetooth device. Find the audio option, locate Bluetooth audio, and press it to see the list of Bluetooth audio devices. At this point, search with your phone and you will see MB-Bluetooth.
When I found that my GM6 couldn't play music, my first reaction was to check common settings issues. Unstable Bluetooth connections are often the main cause, such as incorrect phone pairing or the infotainment system not switching to the media source. I've also encountered USB port issues where older model flash drives weren't supported—I recommend trying one formatted in FAT32. It's easy to overlook muted volume or settings that are too low, so I always adjust the volume on the central control screen to ensure it's not at zero. Additionally, software updates are crucial; downloading the latest version from the settings menu can fix many bugs. If restarting the infotainment system doesn't work, the possibility of a blown fuse or hardware failure increases. In such cases, I note down the symptoms and take it to a professional shop to avoid safety hazards from missing audio alerts while driving. Developing habits like regularly cleaning ports and keeping the system updated can save a lot of trouble.
My experience with the GM6's silent music taught me that connection issues are common. First, confirm if the music source is correct—Bluetooth devices sometimes disconnect after prolonged inactivity, so try re-pairing your phone or clearing the device list. For USB playback, poor-quality cables or outdated drives may cause recognition failures; switching to an original cable or reformatting the drive often helps. I also learned to check external device settings, such as ensuring the phone's software permissions allow audio output, and verifying the car stereo's separate volume routing isn't misconfigured. If these simple steps fail, it might indicate internal circuit issues like a blown fuse or amplifier damage, requiring professional inspection. Driving without audio poses risks, so I pull over to quickly reset the system or switch sources, staying alert to avoid distractions.
When I first used the GM6, I panicked because there was no sound from the music. It turned out I just had the wrong source selected. Try switching to Bluetooth or USB on the central control screen. If Bluetooth isn't connecting, delete the old pairing and set it up again. If the USB port is loose or dusty, cleaning it can improve contact. Occasionally, the software may crash—just use the reset option in the settings to reboot. Learning these basics is enough; don't overcomplicate things to save time and effort.
