Where is the Bluetooth streaming audio functionality?

[lamarboards00]

Mine does this to me too, about 50% of the time. Everything will pair, and the volume won't turn up, only down. All I've needed to do is mute then un-mute (press the volume control). That works every time.

I travel for business a lot so I'm *always* in tons of random rental cars.. While most have streaming BT functionality - a LOT of them I get the same issues you guys are discussing on my iPhone 7.. I'll get my single iTunes song to start playing upon connection (which is some awful old Run DMC song), then sometimes it will kick over a podcast, then if I switch to Spotify I'll get one of any of the previously mentioned controls for the screen. Even brand new 2017 models with streaming BT built in still has a lot of these challenges. I'd guess it's phone related and less BT connector related.

Lol @ "awful old Run DMC song." Hey man at least its not Wanksta by 50 cent.. was a little awkward when I took my boss out to lunch Friday. I really need to change that. Also I bet you're right about it being more of an issue with my phone as my girl's iphone 7 works great.

It should work for you. Have you tried to unpair the two devices and re pair it again?

I have a 2012 S4 with nav and I use the Tune2air3000. Works perfectly. All vehicle controls work (volume, skip track, pause, etc). Every time I get in the car it loads automatically within a second or two and I don't have to press anything.
I'm currently using the iPhone 6s, but it worked fine with my 5s as well.


If unpairing your device and reconnecting it doesn't work, just buy the tune2air3000 from Amazon for $70.

I have tried pairing and re pairing. It works alright now, I can switch tracks using the car if I'm playing itunes music but if I am in spotify I need to manually switch using the phone which really isnt a biggie for me. However the volume can be a little glitchy sometimes, so yeah I might buy the 3000. Thanks for the recommendation.

Hey guys just checking in to give my two cents. I recently purchased a b8 s4 and fell among the ranks with everyone else who was floored about the lack of BT integration. I did a bit of research and this is what worked for me. I literally got it working with just the adapter and 5 minutes of watching thee videos.

I bought the 30-pin Bluetooth 4.0 A2DP Receiver from http://a2dp4audi.com/ .. just the module though not the cable.

Then I followed the directions on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZyJFdWLKYA the guy basically switches the way the car utilizes the information coming from the cable. I kind of equated it to almost jailbreaking the Audi MMI system. You don't need any outside formatting systems, just follow the video

To reach that green menu I followed this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36uYU2Uj6ng .. mind you I've only had the car for about a week and have zero experience with this and I was able to do it. I promise it is not difficult. Give it a shot!

Hey check my most recent post if this is still causing you issues.

Going to bring this back. This is in a 2012. I have the Tune2air adapter and for most of the time it worked with my iPhone 7 using iOS 10.3 but once in a while I would have problem with the volume, song displaying, Siri and/or connectivity. I also have an USB plug but if my battery on the phone is below 50% it doesn’t connect or charge. Now I’m running iOS 11 and it doesn’t work at all. Just reads “loading”. Not even with the USB plugged in. I followed the instructions above and now it works great. The only thing I did different was the setting. I keep the MMI Bluetooth option so I can use both in case new update on the phone would work. Now in Aux mode I can charge my phone no matter the percentage and Tune2air works great. It even sounds better. Phone functionality still works and no issues with Siri. Only downfall is I can’t control the music from the MMI.

Can’t post an attachment. Setting I used to keep AMI B/T and Aux on green screen:

AMI/AUX [AUX/AMI BT/no AMI] 2/8

Do you keep one song in your music library? It's iTunes Radio that causes it to stick. If you push play in an app or using the music app itself, it will play correctly.
