What is the reason why the Geely Emgrand GL cannot play music after Bluetooth connection?

It may be due to a malfunction in the car's Bluetooth module or the mobile device moving out of the communication range of the car's Bluetooth. Troubleshooting: You can reset the car system to factory settings, clear the Bluetooth list, turn off other Bluetooth devices, and then pair the mobile device with the car system via Bluetooth. Solution: Enable the Bluetooth settings on your phone, where you can find an option for open detection. Turn this option on. If this option is turned off, even if Bluetooth is enabled on the phone, it may not work because some car Bluetooth systems require matching codes for pairing.
Hey, I've been driving the Emgrand GL for a while, and the Bluetooth not playing music is really annoying. The most common issue is improper pairing. Try confirming whether your phone's Bluetooth is actually connected to the car's system—sometimes it appears connected but the signal is lost. Then check if your phone's audio output is set to the car's Bluetooth, not muted or redirected to headphones. If these aren't the issue, it might be a compatibility problem, like your phone model being too old or the Bluetooth version not matching—the Emgrand GL's infotainment system isn't very friendly with certain Android or Apple devices, especially updated iOS versions. Restarting both your phone and the car's system is also a good fix; I've had this problem before, and it worked after a restart. If it still doesn't work, check if any audio settings in the car's system are misconfigured or if the software needs an update—visit a 4S shop for a free upgrade. Never fiddle with these while driving; it's dangerous. Try it when temporarily parked. Also, use Bluetooth regularly to keep the connection fresh.
As someone with a bit of car knowledge, I think Bluetooth music issues usually fall into several categories: The most basic is pairing failure—maybe the phone or car didn't save the settings, so try pairing again. A deeper issue could be audio routing errors—you need to set Bluetooth as the output in your phone's sound settings and make sure it's not stuck on system mute. Another possibility is software bugs; for example, the Geely Emgrand GL system might freeze if updates are delayed, so download a patch from the official website or app. Hardware issues are rare, but aging Bluetooth modules or heavy interference (like too many nearby devices) can also affect playback. Phone compatibility is a big pitfall—Bluetooth protocols vary widely across brands, so try switching phones to confirm if the issue persists. I recommend regularly backing up car system data and updating firmware as a precaution. When problems arise, start with a simple reboot before diving into deeper checks. Bluetooth tech is convenient, but understanding basic settings makes it hassle-free.
