Why Can't the Car Steering Wheel Buttons Control the Music?
2 Answers
Bluetooth version incompatibility. Detailed explanations for why the car steering wheel buttons can't control the music are as follows: 1. Bluetooth version incompatibility: Not all Bluetooth versions support track skipping or volume adjustment functions. Typically, lower versions of Bluetooth cannot perform reverse operations, in which case you can only skip tracks on the phone or the central control. 2. Poor internal button contact: When the internal buttons have poor contact, the volume adjustment buttons on the steering wheel will not work. 3. Incorrect music software settings: Check if the 'support Bluetooth operation' option was not enabled after the music software was updated. If this option is turned off, Bluetooth cannot control the music software.
The steering wheel buttons can't control the music, and I've encountered similar situations several times. There are various reasons: the buttons themselves may be worn or dirty, and the pressing feel is off; wiring issues are common, with loose plugs or short circuits interrupting the signal; system settings may be messed up, such as the car's infotainment system resetting button functions after an update, causing commands not to reach the audio; a blown fuse is also a possibility, located in the fuse box under the steering wheel—just replace it. If you've modified the audio equipment, compatibility issues can cause the buttons to fail. It's recommended to check yourself first: park the car, press the buttons to hear if there's feedback, check if the plugs are tight, and try restarting the infotainment system. If you really can't figure it out, go to a repair shop—don't compromise driving safety. Normally, adjusting music with the steering wheel buttons is very convenient; when they fail, it's easy to get distracted, which poses significant risks.
