The reasons why the Camry cannot play mobile phone music after Bluetooth connection include the phone's volume not being turned on, incompatible pairing codes, multimedia music not being enabled, signal interference, etc. The specific details are as follows: The phone's volume is not turned on: The volume on the car navigation system or the phone is not turned on. Solution: Go to the phone's settings, sound, find the media option, and turn up the media volume. The same applies to the car navigation system. Incompatible pairing codes: The music playback programming of some phones is incompatible with the pairing codes of certain car models, so only phone calls can be made but music cannot be played. Solution: It is recommended to change the Bluetooth playback frequency band to enable normal usage. Multimedia is not enabled: 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. Signal interference: The media audio on the phone is not turned off, causing signal interference with the Bluetooth function. Solution: First, go to the phone's Bluetooth settings interface, where there are two options: phone audio and media audio. After connecting to the car's Bluetooth, both options are turned on by default. You need to turn off the media audio and keep the phone audio, which ensures that the three functions of Bluetooth calls, car music playback, and phone navigation voice prompts do not interfere with each other.
I've been driving for over a decade, and it's quite common for Camry's Bluetooth to connect but not play music. First, check if the media audio is enabled in your phone's Bluetooth settings – sometimes automatic connections only enable call permissions. On the car's system, make sure to select the correct audio source mode; there's a toggle button on the steering wheel. For older models, a system update might be necessary – I once helped a neighbor with a 2015 model, and it worked fine after updating. Wiring issues are rare but not impossible; if a USB cable is connected, it might automatically disable Bluetooth. Also, compatibility varies between phone brands, with Apple generally being more stable than Android. If all else fails, try disconnecting and re-pairing the Bluetooth – this usually solves 80-90% of such issues.
