Bluetooth audio playback??

Hi,

i have a 2009 fiesta, on the sync website it says my car and phone should support bluetooth audio playback. I've paired my phone and the phone calls work perfect but no music will play through the stereo. On my phone the track is playing and says its playing through 'Ford Audio' but no sound. Sometimes when I plug it in through the aux lead it will start playing then stop, almost like the bluetooth is overriding the aux connection. I've tried repairing my phone and 4 other phones to see if it was a problem with mine but it still doesn't work. I've checked the fuses aren't blown and disconnected the battery. Don't know if I'm barking up the wrong tree but it seems like it wants to work but won't.

 

If anyone has any know-how it'd be much appreciated, thanks :)

    A 2009 Fiesta does not have the SYNC system. It has the old Bluetooth/Voicecontrol system. In 2009 there were basically 2 different Bluetooth systems.

    * Standard Bluetooth/Voicecontrol system. This system only supports bluetooth phone functionality.

    * Ford Sound & Connect system. This system supports Bluetooth phone functionality, Bluetooth Audio, USB and Ipod control.

     

    If your car does not have a USB port it will have the standard Bluetooth/Voicecontrol system. This system does not support Bluetooth Audio. The Bluetooth/Audio function must be selected by pressing the AUX button multiple times. This way you can switch between AUX, Bluetooth Audio and USB. If the car has the standard Bluetooth/Voicecontrol system the Bluetooth Audio and USB input screens are not present.

    Ok thank you I didn't realise there were two options. Do you reckon if I bought a newer stereo that it would work then? Or would I have to buy a new bluetooth module too?

    Changing the Bluetooth/Voicecontrol module for the Sound & Connect type module and reconfiguring the car should be enough to make it work.
