Problem with music via Bluetooth in my car

[Stef25]

Hello everyone,

For about 3 weeks, I haven't been able to listen to music via Bluetooth, but it's OK for calls.  

My car: 2018 Mitsubishi ASX

I've tried re-pairing, reinstalling, uninstalling, etc., but nothing works.

I have an S25+, so it might be due to an Android update, or perhaps a problem with the Bluetooth on my ASX.

If you have any explanation or solution, please let me know.

Thank you !

Hi and Welcome.

Normally for Bluetooth devices if you go
Settings> connections> Bluetooth and click the gear ⚙️ icon on the right ( if your car shows up) it gives option for calls, media etc. Do do have a look there.

Also if using Android Auto check it's settings.

I had this issue to solve it i put my phone in safe mode. Connect Bluetooth to my car then took phone out of safe mode and its stayed connected ever since 🙃

Hi GoanGeek, I went into my car's Bluetooth settings and "Calls" and "Audio" are both enabled. For the device type, "Other" is selected. I tried "Headphones" and "Speaker" but it doesn't work either.

Hello Rogersdave, I just tried it and it doesn't work either 😞

Good news, it's fixed! And thanks to ChatGPT, LOL. The problem stemmed from a compatibility issue between my car's Bluetooth and recent versions of Android and One UI.

The solution: Enable developer mode and in AVRCP Bluetooth Version, change it to 1.4 instead of 1.6.

Apparently, there's a firmware update available from Mitsubishi New Zealand; I'll check with my car dealer. Firmware name: Mitsubishi SDA Software Update – Version 2021.01 (PN: MGN2-0595-MT-21.01, ref. TNS 21-001)

Glad you were able to sort it out. I have marked it as solution so others can benefit. 😊

Short-lived joy... This morning it wasn't working anymore, I had to re-pair it and then it was OK

Blame it on the weather 😊
