    Bluetooth problem?

    My phone connects via Bluetooth to my car and I can have a conversation (using the car speakers). But I can't transmit a podcast through my car speakers. Any suggestions how to fix this?

      Bluetooth has many different profiles. One is specific to phone calls. It includes things like access to your contacts. Connecting a "media" device as required to play music is another profile. My older car connects with the phone profile but not media as yours. My head unit doesn't have an aux but it does an old 30pin iPod adapter. I got a Bluetooth receiver with a 30pin connector and I'm able to stream music. You may need to do the same attach a second Bluetooth receiver to some sort of aux input.

          Restart both the phone and radio.

          Unpair and pair them together.

          Make sure they are paired successfully.

          Go to your Bluetooth settings in your phone and make sure call and audio are selected.
