Car Bluetooth works fine with phone calls but not music

Hey there,

I’m using an iPhone 12 mini in my car.

paired it with Bluetooth and phone calls seem to work just fine.

I tried to play music via Apple Music app on my phone and I can’t hear it in the car speakers.

The airplay icon shows that it plays it in the car but the car is silent.

The progress bar of the song is progressing, the iPhone and the car audio system is on max volume.

can’t figure it out 🤷‍♂️

does anybody encountered a similar issue and fixed it ?


Thanks 🙏🏼

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 14

Hello yevgeni024,


We understand you're experiencing an issue connecting your iPhone to your vehicle, and we'd like to help.


"If your car supports CarPlay using the USB port, plug your iPhone into the USB port of your car or stereo. The USB port might be labeled with a CarPlay icon or a smartphone icon.


If your car supports wireless CarPlay, press and hold the voice command button on your steering wheel to set up CarPlay. Or make sure that your car is in wireless or Bluetooth pairing mode. Then on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > CarPlay > Available Cars and choose your car. Check the manual that came with your car for more information.


Learn more about CarPlay or how to set up and use CarPlay."

Take care!
