2 Answers
The reasons and solutions for the Buick GL8 not playing music when connected to a phone are as follows: The volume on the phone is not turned on: Solution: Go to the phone's "Settings" - "Sound", find the "Media" option, and turn up the "Media" volume. Phone incompatibility: Some phones (such as the iPhone) have music playback programming that is not compatible with the docking codes of certain car models, so they can only make calls but not play music. Solution: It is recommended to change the Bluetooth playback frequency band to enable normal use. Music is not turned on: The multimedia music function of the car's Bluetooth is not enabled. Solution: Find the multimedia option on the screen, enter it, and select Bluetooth to play music.
I've also encountered the issue of no sound when playing music from my phone while driving a Buick GL8, usually due to Bluetooth connection problems. First, make sure the phone's Bluetooth is turned on, set the car's infotainment system to Bluetooth as the input source, and try again after successful pairing. The phone's own volume might be set too low or muted, so check the phone settings and the car's volume knob. Sometimes it's a compatibility issue, such as an older phone model not being compatible with the car's system—try using a different phone or updating the software. Conflicts in the car's infotainment system can also cause problems; force-restarting both the phone and the car's system may help. Additionally, damaged USB cables or loose connections can interrupt signal output, so unplug and reconnect to test. Preventive measures include regularly clearing device cache, keeping the system updated, and avoiding frequent app switching while driving to minimize distractions.
