What is the reason for no sound when connecting Bluetooth in a Volkswagen car?

The reason for no sound when connecting Bluetooth in a Volkswagen car is that the volume is not turned on; the multimedia music of the car Bluetooth is not activated. Below is relevant information about car Bluetooth: Introduction: Car Bluetooth is a feature equipped in many cars. After connecting the phone via Bluetooth, you can play music from the phone and directly answer calls, which is very convenient. If music cannot be played after connecting the phone via Bluetooth, it means the audio source of the car multimedia system is not set to Bluetooth. Function: Many cars have a car connectivity system, which allows the owner's phone to connect with the car system, enabling more functions. Many cars come with Carlife or CarPlay systems pre-installed. Carlife is specifically designed to connect with Android phones, while CarPlay is designed to connect with Apple phones.
I've owned this Volkswagen for three years and encountered the Bluetooth audio issue twice. The first time was because my phone volume wasn't adjusted - I forgot to turn on media volume after connecting Bluetooth and even foolishly rebooted the infotainment system. Later I learned to check both phone and car audio settings, especially on iPhones which have separate call volume and media volume controls. The second incident was more frustrating - the outdated infotainment system had Bluetooth protocol incompatibility with my new phone. A software update at the dealership fixed it. My advice: first check Bluetooth connection status. If it shows connected but no sound, try disconnecting and reconnecting. If that fails, reboot both phone and infotainment system - Volkswagen systems occasionally freeze. Finally, remember to regularly clean up your Bluetooth paired devices list as old connections can interfere.
