Why is there no response when playing music via Bluetooth in Audi?

If there is no response when playing music via Bluetooth, it might be due to the volume being too low. Simply increase the volume. Open the settings on your phone. In the settings, tap on 'Sounds & Haptics'. Another solution is to re-pair the devices. First, turn off the Bluetooth device, then press and hold the multifunction button to activate Bluetooth and re-pair it with your phone. When using Bluetooth, it's best to keep the devices close to each other. Then, restart your phone, clear the previous Bluetooth information, and search for the Bluetooth device again.
I recently encountered the issue of Audi Bluetooth not connecting for playing music as well. I tried several times on an Audi A4 but failed, only to realize later that I missed some key points. First, make sure the vehicle is started and the Bluetooth function is turned on, and the phone's Bluetooth is also enabled. When pairing, you must select 'Add New Device' in the car's MMI system, then confirm the connection and enter the password after the phone detects the Audi name. If connected but no sound, check if the phone settings allow media audio output and select the Bluetooth audio source in the car's sound system. Sometimes, phone software updates can interrupt the connection, requiring you to delete the old pairing and start over. The Audi system has good compatibility with new phones, but older models might have conflicts, so it's recommended to restart both the phone and the car's system to try again.
Bluetooth issues with Audi vehicles are quite common, and I've researched numerous cases myself. The root causes may lie in Bluetooth module malfunctions, incorrect pairing settings, or compatibility problems. Audi models typically support the standard A2DP protocol, but older phone models with lower Bluetooth versions might not be compatible. The solution steps are: enter the vehicle's infotainment system, locate the Bluetooth settings, delete all paired records, then search and pair with the new car system again. Ensure your phone's Bluetooth visibility is turned on, and after successful pairing, don't forget to select the Bluetooth media source on the car system. Sometimes system cache overload causes lag, which can be alleviated by restarting the MMI system. Hardware issues require professional diagnostics, and regularly updating the car system software can prevent problems.
Here's my suggestion for dealing with Audi Bluetooth music playback issues: First, ensure the vehicle's Bluetooth function is activated, then enter system settings to add a device while the engine is running. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth and search for the Audi name to pair. After successful connection, switch to the media source and select Bluetooth audio, then increase the media volume on your phone. If it still doesn't work, check your phone's Bluetooth connection settings to allow media playback, delete old devices and try again. Common causes include signal interference or software bugs - try soft rebooting both your phone and the car's infotainment system. While Audi systems are relatively stable, minor issues do occasionally occur.
