16MY Bluetooth music.

Am I supposed to not be able to search music on my phone via Bluetooth, or is there something I’m missing??

I can search if I plug it into the iPod socket, or via the Incontrol plug, but I can only skip and pause play via BT.

If that’s how it’s supposed to be fine I can live with that, just wanted to check, it would seem an obvious omission...... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Through the car or just by shouting “hey siri” in the direction of your phone? There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Yours is the same experience as mine, ie can only control through the on screen menu a device connected to the iPod jack. 2016 SDV8 AB

I had exactly the same issue as you, I got round it by connecting my old IPOD via the wire in the centre console and leaving it permanently hidden in there for my music, I can now search and do all the things I want via the dash screen for music, as for my phone I just blue tooth it for calls only, works a treat

Agree about use of an old iPod. However there’s only a limited range of iPods that will connect properly and be capable of touchscreen control: - the earliest iPod Classics won’t play and anything iPod touch or newer won’t work either. A good reminder to not throw out otherwise old gadgets... 2016 SDV8 AB

I just shout at the phone connected via Bluetooth - I’ve got an early L405 though so no fancy connectivity options for me

Time to dig out the old iPod 160gb and upload some music.....

I tried it with my tune to air connected via a 30pin to USB but it didn’t work. Will give the IPod a whirl. Child 2 will be annoyed as she has Co-opted it as hers... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
