Bluetooth compatibility

[domo962002]

I have a 2012 Hyundai Genesis 4.6. My problem is pretty simple. Im having a hard time playing music from my phone via bluetooth connectivity. It works fine when im placing calls or answering them but as far as playing music I can't get that category on my screen. Any suggestions??

That particular year doesn't have the ability to stream music, just phone calls.
On a positive note, the bluetooth codecs would be super old and make the music sound like trash anyway. You can get a nice bluetooh receiver and hook it into the car via the AUX cord, then just connect to the DAC via Bluetooth.
I have a 2013 that can stream music, but it sounds like garbage due to the low bit rate of the old Bluetooth so I do what I described above.

This is the DAC I use, it supports as close to lossless streaming as possible.

Once the phone is paired,Make sure you hit CD/Aux to listen to music on your iPhone.

Same one I use with no problems. It’s small and nestles right into the USB and the Aux jacks

Yes it’s an iPhone XR. It pairs automatically when I get in my car. I can make receive phone calls no problem at all. When I want to losttto Spotify, I simply hit CD/AI on the car radio. It will then play thri car sound system.

The 2012 4.6 is a Tech trim car with the 17 speaker Lexicon sound system. It cannot play music over bluetooth. It can only make calls. If you want to listen to music via bluetooth, you need a 3rd party adapter like the one in post #7 above.
