Hi all,
I have an NX 350. My Bluetooth links up with no problem and it says that it's linked to phone and audio. However, whenever I switch to Bluetooth to play songs, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting and during that time I can't play anything. It makes my music playing unusable. I have a Samsung S23 Ultra. Any ideas on what I can try to get it to stay connected to play my audio? This only happens with music. It stays connected to make phone calls.

 

Use android auto to play your music from your phone.

 

Well, this really doesn't solve my problem. I could use services like Spotify, etc however I want to be able to play music that's on my phone. Either way, I need to get the music portion of Bluetooth to work. It keeps connecting and disconnecting.

 

Normally for this the best (and perhaps only) course of action is to remove the BT pair on both sides and try again. AA would be a better option if that works for you only because while it uses BT for initial setup, it actually uses WiFi to carry data (assuming you don't just use a cable). Would be interesting to try anyway I think.

 

Android Auto lets you play your music on YOUR phone on the car through the cars touch screen as an interface only.

If your phone is connected as Android Auto, then it is using a combination of Bluetooth and Wifi to communicate with the car. I am not sure if you can have AA (andoid Auto) connected in the background as well as play music through bluetooth smoothly.

 

Yes, and it is possible to control the music played by AA using the std Lexus interface without going into the AA interface. Although I find it is not as featured as using the AA interface directly (as least for Spotify which is what I use mostly).


@SCS There are a bunch of apps that support playing MP3 files directly from AA, here's some to think about if you decide to go down the AA rabbit hole: 10 best music players for Android Auto - Android Authority

 

So a dumb question. If I use AA, how do I play my music on my phone through AA. I don't see my music player listed in the apps section and I can't add it when I try to customize the screen. Thanks for all the responses, it's greatly appreciated.

 

Apps have to be AA approved by Google as safe to use while driving, so you need to find an AA compatible app as the link I offered previously. Google doesn't want you doing naughty things with AA.
