    Is it that you cannot PLAY music, or cannot HEAR music?

     

    One thing you should do is check to make sure that the car's input source is set to Bluetooth.  I had a similar issue with my Lincoln, until I switched the media source from "Line In" to Bluetooth.

    Thank you for trying to help me, I am sorry for delayed response.

     

    When I successfully pair my iPad to my car 'Bluetooth' Audio a message is shown on the card audio "Playlist empty".

     

    I am fairly certain that the media source is switched to Bluetooth. It is a new car and all this is very foreign to me!

    When I pair my iPhone to my car using Bluetooth, I can go into my Music or Podcast app, and simply start playing a song or podcast.  The sound comes over the car speakers.

     

    Try activating a song through the Music app and see what happens.

    Sorry for not replying, I have had a bad cold. I still have not had success.

    Are there any settings I should check in 'Settings'? E.g 'Carrier' or 'VPN' under 'general'?
