How to Play Music via Bluetooth in a 2012 Buick Regal?
2 Answers
Turn on both your phone's Bluetooth and the car's Bluetooth, ensuring they are in discoverable mode. On your phone's Bluetooth interface, click 'Search for Devices'. Select the car's Bluetooth as displayed on your phone, then click on the car's Bluetooth -> Bluetooth Settings -> Pair. If the pairing code is entered correctly, the car's Bluetooth will soon display 'Connected'.
My old Regal was a 2012 model, and its Bluetooth was mainly for phone calls—listening to music required other methods. I’ve tried a few solutions myself: one is to buy a Bluetooth audio adapter, plug it into the cigarette lighter or USB port, then turn on the phone’s Bluetooth to search and pair. Once connected, playing music from the phone transmits the sound through the car’s speakers. This option is quite convenient, available on JD.com for just over 20 yuan, and setup is simple—first ensure the car is started, plug in the adapter, open the phone’s Bluetooth settings to pair, and then launch the music app. Another method is using an AUX cable to directly connect the phone’s headphone jack to the car’s AUX input port on the center console. Though wired, this delivers better sound quality and doesn’t require charging. If you find these troublesome, consider installing a third-party in-car Bluetooth module, but you’ll need a professional shop for the modification, costing around 100-200 yuan. Remember, don’t get distracted by setup while driving—safety first.
