What is the reason why Volvo Bluetooth cannot play music from the phone?
2 Answers
Volvo Bluetooth cannot play music from the phone because the music playback has not been switched to Bluetooth mode. Simply select the Bluetooth playback mode in the media section of the central control screen to play music from the phone. The method for connecting Volvo Bluetooth to a phone to play music is: 1. Turn on the car's Bluetooth and the phone's Bluetooth, then pair them by entering the password and connecting; 2. Open the Bluetooth music option on the central control screen; 3. Open the corresponding music player on the phone and click play. Volvo is a famous Swedish luxury car brand, founded in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1927. In 2010, Chinese automaker Zhejiang Geely Holding Group acquired Volvo's car business from Ford and obtained ownership of the Volvo car brand.
Over the years, I've experimented with various car Bluetooth systems. When Volvo Bluetooth can't play phone music, it's usually a pairing issue. First, check your phone settings to ensure media audio sharing is enabled—many overlook this permission. Then, test in the car: delete old pairings, reboot the infotainment system, wait a few minutes for a full reset, and reconnect. If there's still no sound, it might be a Bluetooth module compatibility conflict, especially with significant version gaps between Android phones and the car system. Try updating both phone and car software, or test with a friend's iPhone. Also, watch your parking spot—nearby high-voltage towers or signal interference can disrupt transmission. If all else fails, visit a shop for hardware checks; while rare, Bluetooth receiver failures do occur.
