Bluetooth Music

Help me out guys as I cannot find and answer in the "manual". Streaming music from my phone to the F10 via Bluetooth has not been an issue. This weekend, I plugged in a USB cable to the port under the arm rest to charge my phone. At the time, so message came up regarding disabling Bluetooth music or something that effect.

Well now, I cant stream music via Bluetooth any more. How do I make this happen? The phone is connected via Bluetooth. I am sure its something basic, so please let me know

Thanks

In the Bluetooth settings under devices there are options for that device. There should be an option to use it as a phone and another box right under it to also use it to stream audio. Make sure that second box is checked. I'd take pics but my car is in the shop and I have a loaner.

When Bluetooth streaming is activated and you plug in a usb cable you get that message, the car then disables the Bluetooth streaming if you choose to proceed. You then need to activate Bluetooth streaming again within the settings as per the previous message from 4MULA_1

You need to select your phone within paired devices, it has three symbols. One for phone, one for contacts and one for music. You need to enable the music option.

Yeah mine does it too... kind of stupid! You would think it would just give USB priority and default to that when connected and Bluetooth when not connected.

I put all my music on a 64gb usb stick that stays plugged in at all times, unless you stream music from spotify or similar then that will solve it.
