Turn on the Bluetooth functions of both the car and the mobile phone. After successfully finding and pairing, you can freely play music. Below is the relevant introduction to car music players: 1. Classification: Independent audio interface multimedia music players, USB flash drive multimedia music players, and integrated in-car multimedia music players. 2. Analysis Principle: Whether the decoding chip uses the high-end Philips SAA7750 or the ordinary Sigmatel STMP3410, along with the related internal circuit design, soldering process, and circuit board materials, results in significant differences between products from different manufacturers.
When I used to drive the GL8, playing music via Bluetooth was quite common. The basic steps were to start the car and then find the settings menu on the central touchscreen—usually, touchscreen operations were very convenient. Select the Bluetooth option and toggle it to the 'On' state to make it discoverable. Next, don’t forget to enable Bluetooth on your phone, look for a name like 'BUICK GL8' in the available devices list, and tap to connect. If a pairing code is required, enter the default '0000' or '1234' to confirm. After successful pairing, don’t rush to close the page—just make sure the Bluetooth icon stays lit. Finally, open your preferred music app like NetEase Cloud Music or QQ Music on your phone and start playing your favorite tracks. While driving, you can adjust the volume using the steering wheel buttons for safety, avoiding the need to look down. The whole process takes about two to three minutes. Bluetooth offers many advantages over wired connections, such as allowing you to focus more on driving, hearing navigation prompts clearly without interference. If it occasionally fails to connect, try restarting the infotainment system or checking if your phone’s Bluetooth settings need an update.
