Bluetooth fun

[minibiti]

Here is something I found recently can might help others... And it is probably not only a problem for the Mégane but more related to Android on your phone.

Since the Mégane has Android Automotive, I was suspecting the problem was on the car side, but now it seems that it is on the phone side (my Samsung running Android 16).

Here is the situation:
I start the car and get settled.
My phone connects via Bluetooth (BT) to the car system.
Using the phone for calling works fine.
Playing music from my phone does not.

My work around is to go to the BT settings, disable and enable Media Audio, and voila!

There is apparently a bug in some versions of Android which explains this. It has just been fixed so you really need the very latest version of Android for this to go away, not just a version of Android 16 with the latest security patches.

I guess iPhone users do not have this problem...

More info about the bug here, for the geeks among you guys
