Why cant i get my music to play on my Bluetooth radio

[Tyler Hofer]

How come on my galaxy A21 I can't get the music to play on my Bluetooth Delphi radio. When I go into Settings/Bluetooth, and then in the gear icon there is only the contacts, and calling that I can put on, but no music audio the opinion isn't even there.

I've got the older Delphi radio the one with the one button
that has got the I symbol title and menu onto it it doesn't have as many options on it as the newer ones have

I don't know I can't get the radio's source button to bring up the Bluetooth audio on the radio

I can't find a module number but that the Delphi part number 28328284 and then there's Delphi MYFI number 24098244

How old is this head unit? Older head units often didn't have streaming audio capability -- only phone call connection. For example, my old 2008 BMW 535i's stock system could only connect via Bluetooth for calls.

Yes I did and the radio picked up my phone right away I even made a call works great. But I can't get music to play from my phones Playlist through the radio on Bluetooth unless there's a setting no right on my phone that I don't know of

When the music is playing click a volume button once so that the volume pop up comes up. There should be an arrow or something you can click that opens it up bigger. From there you should be able to choose where the media plays. Maybe it's just not automatically switching.

I looked through that manual, and I couldn't find any mention of using Bluetooth to stream music -- only to handle phone calls. Unless you see some option to change the audio source to Bluetooth, I think you can only use it for phone calls.

I didn't even think of that because that seems odd lol, but youre probably right. Might need a Bluetooth adapter then.

Also, it would seem that Delphi head unit was actually released no later than 2009, since that's the year of publication for that manual. That would very much be in keeping with car stereos of the time, which mostly supported only Bluetooth phone audio, and not streaming media audio.

It looks like that head unit is only capable of playing music from an old iPod. The manual states not to use an iPhone or iPod Touch, so a modern smartphone most likely won't work. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...967-0001.pdf&usg=AOvVaw3ksAfDmW6A1dyPTqd_3d1S

You can buy an aux cord with a usb-c adapter if phone doesn't have headphone jack. That or if your car has a cig lighter port you can get an adapter that plugs into it that plays through a set radio station.
