What are the reasons for no sound when playing music via Bluetooth in a Land Rover?
2 Answers
Land Rover connecting to Bluetooth for music playback with no sound may be due to the following reasons: 1. Volume not turned on: The volume on the car navigation system or mobile phone is not turned up; you can go into the phone settings and increase the media volume, and do the same for the car navigation system. 2. Multimedia music not enabled: The multimedia music feature of the car Bluetooth is not enabled; the solution is to find the multimedia option on the screen, enter it, and select Bluetooth for music playback. 3. Media audio on the phone not turned off: The media audio on the phone is not turned off, causing signal interference with the Bluetooth function; the solution is to enter the Bluetooth settings on the phone, turn off the media audio while keeping the phone audio on.
After years of repairing cars, I've encountered many Land Rover owners complaining about no sound when playing music via Bluetooth. Common issues include incorrect volume settings – the media volume in the car might be turned down or muted, requiring adjustment specifically for media volume via the steering wheel or central control screen. There's also phone settings: make sure media audio permission is enabled during Bluetooth pairing, otherwise only calls will have no sound. I've seen some owners experience playback issues due to new phone system updates being incompatible with Land Rover's older systems. A simple restart of the vehicle's engine and phone, followed by re-pairing, is recommended. Land Rover's INFOTAINMENT system sometimes requires manual selection of the audio source; check the settings to ensure the correct Bluetooth input is selected. Hardware-wise, inspect for loose speaker connections, though software bugs are more common. If the problem persists after trying these steps, it's advisable to visit a 4S store for diagnosis to save time and hassle.
