There are several reasons why the car cannot play music after connecting to Bluetooth, such as the phone's audio not being turned off or multimedia music not being enabled. The specific reasons and solutions are as follows: Phone audio 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 phone's Bluetooth settings interface, turn off the media audio, and keep the phone audio. Multimedia music not enabled: The multimedia music of the car's Bluetooth is not enabled, causing the music to fail to play. The solution is to find the multimedia option on the screen, enter it, and select Bluetooth to play music.
A friend of mine just bought a new car. The Bluetooth is connected but the music won’t play no matter what. After troubleshooting for a while, I realized it might be an issue with the audio channel pairing. When connecting via Bluetooth, don’t forget to check the media output permission in the settings. Some car models only support call audio, so music playback needs to be enabled separately. APP issues are also common—for example, Spotify not launching or system lag. Restarting the phone or the car’s infotainment system usually fixes it. Hardware problems like an aging Bluetooth module or outdated car software can be resolved with an update. Don’t overlook distance and interference—if the phone is too far away or there’s interference from other electronic devices, the signal may be unstable. In short, start with the simplest checks first and avoid blindly replacing parts.
