Well had the car a week now and very happy with it. One thing I can't seem to get working though is getting my music to play via Bluetooth.

I've connected the phone (Sony Xperia) no problem and phone calls, and texts are working fine. But when I change the radio to Bluetooth it never plays. I've checked the phone in the connectivity section and says it's connects for music. I've also started playing music on my phone (I use Google muso player) and my phone knows it's connected to the car but no sound comes through the car. I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting the phone too.

Has anyone any ideas or had similar problem. I'm sure its probably something simple but just can't get it working.

Make sure you've got the volume on the phone turned right up to max when playing music, it always defaults to inaudible for my iPhone.

Hi thanks. Yea that was one thing I thought about but I've checked and my phone volume was right up. Really struggling with this one!

I have the same problem. Only way to listen music is to stream it from my mobile.
While connected I run google music for example and listen it from the car.

I have a usb disk with my music to listen. That's why I didn't search further into it.

I have Big Issue trying to play my USB Flash Drives & Bluetooth from Mobile. Keeps saying. Please WAIT, unit is SYNCING.
It WILL SINK very soon.
Even tried Reformatting USB to Fat 32, then using a lower capacity Drive, say 4GB, instead of 32 GB.
Unfortunately, it still fails to keep playing, once it starts.
It STOPS DEAD & will only try starting up again, after Ignition is off & going back to it later.
Very Annoying, as was sold as Hight Tech end Equipment.
"Stop ! Its a JOKE" END Maybe ?
Miss My DS5, inbuilt CD player, was never any problem.
1.2 Turbo EXCEL Metallic Stream, with Silver Dashboard, not Purple.
Looks Great on the outside, but it's giving me JIP on the inside.
Anyone any good Ideas, please.

loads of post on updating your firm ware which should fix this bug ,you should be running 6.9.0 if you are already running 6.9.0 then maybe a visit to the dealer to have it looked at

I had the same problem. I used to play music on my mobile and no sounds comes from mobile nor from the car. So, I completely removed my car's identification from mobile bluetooth as well as my mobile from car's bluetooth. The connected again. Never had the same problem again since.

Hi, According to other forums the maximum supported USB is 16gb, I tried larger and failed, 16gb works fine although not all album art will dispaly
Any ideas on album art issue

 

[Karmalakas]

According to some members in the forum, larger flash drives are supported, but I also failed to use 64GB flash. 16GB working like a charm.
Album art should be embedded in file's meta data using some ID3 tagging software or similar.

I use this https://www.mp3tag.de/en/ to manage metadata on mp3 files. Works fine.
