Why is there no sound when playing music via Bluetooth in the Sagitar?

There may be no sound when playing music via Bluetooth in the Sagitar because the call volume on the phone is not turned on. Call volume on the phone is not turned on: When the phone volume is not turned on, there will be no sound during Bluetooth playback. Solution: Try dialing a phone number, and during the dialing or call state, press the volume up button on the side of the phone to increase the sound. Other reasons for no sound: The volume on the car navigation system is not turned on; simply turn it on. Go to the phone's "Settings" — "Sound," find the "Media" option, and turn up the "Media" volume. Alternatively, the car Bluetooth may not be properly paired with the phone.
As a long-time Volkswagen owner who drove a Sagitar for years, I've encountered Bluetooth connection issues with no sound. The first step is always to verify if Bluetooth is truly connected: sometimes the phone shows it's connected, but the car's infotainment system isn't responding—simply disconnect and reconnect. Next, check volume settings: after turning up the phone's volume, the car's volume knob might have been accidentally turned down, or you might have selected the wrong audio source, like still being on the radio. Another common issue is app permissions on the phone: for instance, if a music app's background Bluetooth output is restricted, you'll need to reauthorize it. Hardware-wise, audio components rarely fail; it's usually minor software bugs, like Bluetooth lag after the car has been parked for a long time. If this happens while driving, safety comes first: pull over and try restarting the vehicle. Don't worry—methodically troubleshooting will usually resolve it.
As a tech enthusiast, I often use Bluetooth to connect to the car system. Issues usually stem from the phone side: check if the sound output is set to Bluetooth mode, not speaker or headphones. Sometimes settings automatically change after a system update; permissions in the app need to be enabled, like QQ Music might be restricted in the background. On the car side, in the Sagitar's audio source menu, make sure Bluetooth playback is selected, not AUX or USB. Software bugs are common: clearing the paired device list and reconnecting usually fixes it. Signal interference can also affect it—try moving the phone closer to the center console. 90% of the time it's a minor setting issue, hardware failures are rare, so don't rush to dismantle the car.
