Streaming Spotify in a Volkswagen - help please!
MatthiasSchilf
08-07-2016
This issue is driving me mad and I can't find an answer anywhere, so any help would be appreciated!

I have a 2014 Volkswagen with an RNS 315 infotainment system fitted. My wife has a Ford, with a Sony system, and we both have Samsung phones paired by Bluetooth which make and receive calls without a hitch.

My wife's phone streams Spotify through the Sony system fine, but I just cannot get mine to stream Spotify via the RNS 315 in my car, no matter what I try. I launch Spotify and the music just comes out of the phone speaker and refuses to play via the car system.

I have looked on the Spotify forums and VW forums and elsewhere, with no joy. Surely somebody knows the answer!

Any assistance very gratefully received!

If you go here

http://webspecial.volkswagen.de/tele...e=iframe#index

and select the model of VW you have plus the RNS315 system then the model of phone you have it should tell you if it can do the media player function. That will be a start. if it can only do hands free calls then that would explain the problem.

If it can do media player functions then it might depend on whether that page gives you a green (full function) or a yelowy brown (partial function) dot alongside Media Player.

On some VW Music Systems you have to ensure that A2DP is enabled in the VW device for it to play music over Bluetooth.

Let me know how you get on with this and I'll see if I can help. I am a VW driver and rely heavily on my playlist coming through the speakers via Bluetooth for long journeys.

I operate two phones in the car and the VW console allows for one to be set for phone calls / texts and the other for music, just a case of getting the settings in the menu correct.
