The reasons why BMW 5 Series Bluetooth cannot play WeChat voice messages are: the call volume on the phone is not turned on; the volume of the car navigation system is not enabled; the car Bluetooth and phone are not successfully paired. Additional information about BMW 5 Series: 1.

I've seen quite a few BMW owners at repair shops encountering issues with not hearing WeChat voice messages, mostly due to Bluetooth connection problems. The BMW 525's system needs to be correctly paired with the phone to play audio. Check if your phone is connected to the car's Bluetooth, go to the iDrive menu to find the audio settings, and confirm the output source is set to the Bluetooth device. Sometimes WeChat voice messages default to the phone's speaker instead of the car's speakers—try turning up the volume on both the phone and the car. Software conflicts can also cause issues; updating your phone's system and the WeChat app, or restarting both the phone and the car's infotainment system might help. If it stops working suddenly after an upgrade, try re-pairing the new device. BMW's onboard systems require regular maintenance; getting the latest firmware update at a 4S shop might solve the problem. Don't overlook this—safe driving is the priority, so avoid distractions while handling it.
