How to Play Bluetooth Music in Buick GL8?
3 Answers
Enable the vehicle's Bluetooth function, and after successfully pairing with your phone, you can play music on the vehicle's Bluetooth device. Here is some relevant information about the Buick GL8: 1. Configuration: The new generation Buick GL8 family is equipped with the next-generation OnStar Assistant, offering over 50 main services across 5 categories, including remote control, remote vehicle condition viewing and alerts, and provides users with 100GB of "OnStar 4G LTE in-vehicle application lifetime free data" service annually. 2. Body Dimensions: The new generation Buick GL8 Avenir family has body dimensions of 5219mm × 1878mm × 1799mm, with a wheelbase of 3088mm.
As a long-time GL8 owner, I frequently use the Bluetooth music feature. First, ensure your phone's Bluetooth is turned on and the infotainment system is powered (no need to start the engine). Then locate the Settings menu on the central display, select Bluetooth options to enter pairing mode. When your phone detects the Buick device, tap to connect and confirm the pairing code when displayed. After successful connection, remember to switch the audio source to Bluetooth in the multimedia interface for playback. Note: Some newer infotainment versions require granting media audio permissions on your phone first, otherwise only calls will work without music playback. Pro tip: Manually activate your phone's Bluetooth before entering the car - this enables automatic reconnection after vehicle startup, eliminating repetitive setup. For better sound quality, you can also adjust the equalizer settings in the infotainment system.
After studying various in-car systems, the Bluetooth connection logic of the Buick GL8 is actually quite straightforward. First, power on the vehicle (no need to start the engine), then tap the multimedia icon on the central display to enter the playback interface, where you can see the Bluetooth music option. If not paired, follow the prompts to search for devices. The key point is to ensure both the phone and the car's Bluetooth visibility are enabled simultaneously. Once the GL8 device is found, complete the pairing. After successful pairing, the default audio source won't switch automatically; you need to manually select the Bluetooth audio source. If disconnection occurs, remember to check if media playback permission is allowed in the phone's Bluetooth settings. During long trips, using the phone for navigation can also broadcast traffic conditions via Bluetooth, with sound quality far superior to the phone's speaker.
