How do I use my Samsung Galaxy 4 (with Bluetooth) music with my 2013 RX350 vehicle sound system?

1) Read Bluetooth section of the Lexus Owners Manual or Online Owners Manual
2) Read the Bluetooth section of your phone's owner manual
3) Follow instructions in owners manuals.
4) Post back with specific questions.

Short of copy/pasting the owners manual, I don't know how to help. Did you try anything yet? If so, what didn't work?

Would also add that you could also setup an appointment to meet with your local dealership's Lexus Technology Specialist who is on staff to assist with such matters.

Are you telling me that I could listen to music with my Samsung Galaxy S4 with Bluetooth over my RX350 speakers (wirelessly)? If so, I will make an appointment with the Lexus specialist

OP, I think others are trying to be polite, but suggest you need to do a bit more research yourself or provide more specifics as to what you've tried and the problem you are having so we can maybe help. I'm an iPhone guy, so can't help you much, other than suggest you go to THIS SITE. There you can input a basic amount of information, gain knowledge of the capabilities of your particular phone with your specific carrier and vehicle, and from there get additional DIY info how to proceed yourself -- or as RX in Florida suggests, you can call Sales at your dealership and make an appointment with the Technology Specialist who will try to help.

have you paired the Samsung Galaxy as a phone?
have you pared the Samsung Galaxy as a portable device?

i have an iphone 5 and previous RX 350 ( 2010/2011) required me to do TWO separate pairing.
First as a phone, then as a portable device.

and YES, you can stream via Bluetooth

Yes. I use my android phone to make/receive phone calls through the RX-350, and I listen to music wirelessly from my phone. I have pandora on the phone, and I can stream that to the RX-350.

Yes. I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 and it streams music to the RX350 speakers. I just paired the phone and did nothing else special. After reading your query, I also checked my phone settings and could find no special settings.

Did you press the mode button in the steering wheel multiple times to get to 'BT Audio' mode in order to listen to the music from your phone? What does the display panel on the phone show? It should show the audio controls like play, reverse, fast-forward, bar showing seconds of music played, name of the recording, artist, etc. If it is showing all that, turn up the volume control in the car. I have found that the volume needs to be set higher for some recorded bluetooth music streaming from the phone compared to listening from other sources like radio or CD or DVD.

Lastly, check whether the volume control on the phone found on the left side of the phone is not set to its lowest setting. Note that the same physical button on the phone is used to control volume of ringer, volume of streamed music, phone-call volume, etc. depending on the application you are using.
