DAB

[leafy86]

Sorry if this has been been posted before.

I have a DAB in my focus, I can sync my Samsung S7 for the phone functions, but unable to sync to play music.

Also USB socket next to handbrake does not connect the phone to the radio.

Having to use the aux in socket, which means can not control music by head unit or steering wheel stalk.

Any ideas?

Hi Leafy and welcome to the forum, I see from your profile you have a 2009 TDCi.

I really don't think that i can help as I've a Mk3, but if your stereo is anything like mine the aux button cycles through three modes. Aux Line In, Aux USB and I think there's a third one? Have you tried pushing your Aux button more than once?

Sorry, I'm probably no help but I thought I'd mention that. Hope your get it sorted.

When you go into the bluetooth settings, of the DAB by clicking on the i there should be an option media audio, make sure that Is set to on.

Not all bluetooth modules on the MK2 allow for bluetooth music or USB connectivity. Your module may have been changed.

Also, the USB will not connect to the car because the phone needs to be in mass storage mode so that the radio sees it like a memory stick.

Have you tried a memory stick and see if that works?
