How to Play Music via Bluetooth in Older Qashqai Models?

Turn on the car's ignition. Tap on the navigation screen interface and select the Bluetooth button option to enable Bluetooth. Activate the Bluetooth function on your phone and set it to 'Visible to All', 'Discoverable', or 'Open for Detection' in the Bluetooth settings. The phone system will automatically scan for nearby Bluetooth devices. Once the search is complete, simply click on the car's Bluetooth to connect.
The older Qashqai model doesn't have built-in Bluetooth music functionality, but I've got a solution: Buy a compact Bluetooth receiver and power it through the cigarette lighter. Connect your phone to the receiver via Bluetooth, then plug the other end of the receiver into the car's AUX port—that round socket in the center console. Press the MEDIA button on the dashboard to switch to AUX mode, and you'll get sound from your phone's NetEase Cloud Music or QQ Music. My receiver cost only about 70-80 yuan and has worked flawlessly for three years. Make sure to choose one that supports the A2DP protocol, as that's what's needed for music streaming—don't accidentally buy one that only handles calls. A power bank can also power it, so you won't lose connection on long drives. Just keep the cables tidy to avoid interfering with the foot brake.
