What is the reason for no sound when connecting a phone to Bluetooth in Geely X3?
3 Answers
When the Bluetooth of Vision X3 is connected but there is no sound, if it is not related to the volume, it is because some car Bluetooth connections will still play the last media audio source if the car is not in the Bluetooth media audio playback interface, resulting in no sound when playing music. Bluetooth connection: The Bluetooth of Vision X3 is connected by touching the central control screen. The Bluetooth switch can generally be found in the system settings of the central control screen. However, the quickest method is to click "Phone," and the screen will show that your Bluetooth is not connected. Click the "Connect Device" option below, and at the same time, turn on your phone's Bluetooth function. After the phone or car computer scans for available devices, pair them. Advantages: The biggest benefit of connecting the car to the phone via Bluetooth is the automatic identification of smartphones, eliminating the need for cables or phone mounts to connect with the phone; the owner can control the phone without touching it, even keeping both hands on the steering wheel, and use voice commands to answer or make calls. Users can make calls through the car's audio system, greatly enhancing driving pleasure and safety.
I remember last time when I drove the Geely X3, the Bluetooth connection had no sound. I struggled for a long time before realizing that the media volume on my phone was set too low, and I hadn't noticed it myself. On the car's system side, you also need to check if the paired device is selected and open the Bluetooth settings to see if the permission authorization is enabled. I tried restarting both my phone and the car's screen, and the sound came back—maybe the system occasionally freezes. The Bluetooth module has many minor issues, and software updates for this generation of Geely X3 are slow, so I recommend regularly visiting the 4S shop for firmware upgrades. The most frustrating part of no sound is not hearing navigation prompts at intersections, forcing me to pull over and adjust, which affects my mood and is dangerous. I've developed a habit of connecting Bluetooth and testing playback before driving to avoid distractions on the road. If the hardware is truly broken, don't delay—get it fixed promptly to save money and effort. Sharing these tips to make driving more worry-free.
I think there are quite a few reasons for the Bluetooth sound issue in the Geely X3. Improper phone Bluetooth settings, such as not switching the output device to the car or the player app not having permission to enable audio, are common. On the car system side, the mute button might have been accidentally pressed—try turning up the volume. If the audio source on the central control screen isn’t set to Bluetooth, switch it. Hardware-wise, the Geely X3’s Bluetooth module may become unstable due to aging, and sometimes parking near strong magnetic fields can cause interference—just move away to restore the signal. I’ve driven it a few times and found that rebooting the system when the cache is full helps; regularly clearing storage space can prevent this. Software bugs can be fixed by updating the car’s system—if unsure, take it to the shop for a reset. Sound issues can affect driving safety, like answering calls or hearing navigation, so if you can’t fix it, don’t force it—safety first. Troubleshooting these basic steps yourself can save on repair costs.
