Why is there no sound when playing music via Bluetooth in Audi Q3?
2 Answers
Here are the reasons why the Audi Q3 is connected to Bluetooth but there is no sound: Phone is on silent mode: The phone's volume is set to silent. Vehicle volume is low: The vehicle's volume is set to silent or at the minimum level. Connection issue: There might be a problem with the connection between the phone and the car's system, requiring disconnection and reconnection. Song format issue: The format of the song being played might be incompatible and needs conversion. Below is extended information about the 2021 Audi Q3: Body: It is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4495mm in length, 1848mm in width, and 1616mm in height, a wheelbase of 2680mm, a fuel tank capacity of 60L, and a trunk capacity of 450L. Powertrain: The Audi Q3 is equipped with two engines: a 1.4L turbocharged engine and a 2.0L turbocharged engine. The 1.4L turbocharged engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 150 HP, while the 2.0L turbocharged engine has a low-power version with a maximum horsepower of 186 HP and a high-power version with a maximum horsepower of 220 HP.
I've also encountered the Bluetooth no-sound issue with my Audi Q3 before, and it was quite annoying. First, it might be that the volume wasn't turned up—check both your phone and the car's volume settings. Audi's MMI system sometimes automatically lowers the volume, so you need to go to the media options on the center console screen to confirm that Bluetooth is selected as the audio output source. Second, check the permissions in your phone's Bluetooth settings, such as whether media audio sharing is allowed. Some music apps like Spotify or NetEase Cloud Music might hog the device, and restarting the app could fix it. Additionally, outdated system software could be the culprit—it's advisable to download the latest firmware update from Audi's service website. If none of these work, it might be a hardware issue like a loose speaker connection or an aging Bluetooth module, which would require a professional inspection. In my case, updating the system fixed it, so remember to do regular maintenance to avoid similar troubles.
