2 Answers
If the car cannot play music when connected to Bluetooth, it may be because the music playback source is not set correctly. The following is an introduction to car Bluetooth: Introduction to Car Bluetooth: Car Bluetooth and mobile phone Bluetooth share the same transmission technology. Car Bluetooth is an in-vehicle wireless hands-free system designed based on wireless Bluetooth technology. Generally, in-vehicle Bluetooth allows drivers to connect to their phones using Bluetooth technology for hands-free calls, thereby reducing traffic safety hazards. Functions of Car Bluetooth: It provides Bluetooth calling, allowing drivers to connect to their phones via Bluetooth for hands-free calls while driving normally. It automatically recognizes mobile phones, enabling the owner to control the phone without touching it, even keeping both hands on the steering wheel.
I've had my Audi Q3 for several years, and Bluetooth music playback issues are quite common. The usual causes are incorrect Bluetooth pairing or the wrong output source selected. On the vehicle's infotainment screen, go to settings to confirm the connection and select Bluetooth as the media source. Sometimes, the issue is with the phone's app permissions not being properly enabled, such as allowing the car to access media audio in Android settings. If the pairing appears normal but there's no sound, it might be due to outdated system software or compatibility issues. Regularly check that your phone and car system versions are compatible. Try restarting the infotainment system or deleting the old pairing and reconnecting. A tip from a long-time owner is to keep a USB cable handy as a temporary solution to avoid frustration during long drives. Remember to get a comprehensive diagnosis at the dealership to prevent minor issues from becoming major ones.
