Issues with Bluetooth audio--samsung s23.

[jlf851]

Hi there,
I'm hoping someone can help me. Long story short, my S23 will only connect for calls via BT in my car (2011 ford fusion). My car is capable of playing audio over BT as I did it with my S10 and an iPhone before that. It seems like an issue entirely related to this phone.

I have tried doing a master reset on my car, resetting all the BT and wifi settings on my phone, but still no dice. When I connect to my BT and try to toggle audio or BT, the slider turns on for a brief moment, then shuts back off.

Could this be an issue with my BT in my car being too old, or is there something I haven't tried. I tried adding my car through android auto, and it still only connects for calls..I'm at a loss here, any ideas are appreciated!

Edited to add:my phone can connect and stream music with other devices and vehicles, so it's not the phone!

Go to Settings>Connections>Bluetooth and tap the gear icon next to the car stereo listing. Are there separate toggles for Phone Audio and Media Audio?

Make sure you don't have other Bluetooth devices around and it's connecting to them

Did you found a fix yet?
Just bought Focus 2011. Calling through bluetooth is working, but streaming music isn't working.
I've also got a S23.

Welcome to Android Central! Did you look at the previous responses? Can you answer the question I posed to the OP before?

Make sure when paired with your car name in Bluetooth settings media toggle on

I'm connected to " Ford Audio ". Tried different variations in Bluetooth settings; Phone Audio and Media Audio, No success.
When i'm playing music it is just continuesly 'crackling?' ( no music can be heard ). The audio is clear whenever i'm in a call.

* Removed Bluetooth devices
* Replaced 7,5 fuse.
* Tried with Samsung S21, S10.

Have you tried to see if "my sync" ever was updated I know that it's the older 1 or 2 My sync but double check

I've got BVC and not sync(?). Update files were from '2012'. Update succeeded, still no luck.

Ahh the car didn't come My Sync?

I'm not sure what else to suggest other than an aftermarket radio

Here's a video of the issue:

Alright, Thanks for your time though! Appreciate it.

You can try getting in back of the radio and unplugging it then plug it back in but I would still suggest aftermarket radio over the unit u have

I noticed in that video that the input is set to Aux. Is there an option to have Bluetooth as your input source? (I also saw the BT on the screen, but since it was there along with "Radio" and then "Aux", I'm assuming that just signifies that the phone is connected via Bluetooth for phone calls.)

With your previous phone, do you recall if it played music over Bluetooth when you selected Aux as the input?
