2019 LC200 - Bluetooth Question

[Trusty Rusty]

Howdy all - just took possession of our 2019 LC in blizzard pearl white/terracotta interior. What a phenomenal vehicle! It's my wife's daily driver, but I'll be planning to steal the keys as frequently as allowed to do so.

We're still working our way through getting fully accustomed to the vehicle, and had a quick question regarding bluetooth connectivity.

Her iPhone syncs seamlessly and doesn't seem to have any issues during calls (per her, I haven't yet ridden with her during a phone call).

When the audio syncs for music, it only seems to play through one of the small front speakers (I assume this is how audio is sent during phone calls), rather than utilizing all speakers in the vehicle....very "tin-can-ish". When plugged into the USB, music audio then utilizes the entire vehicle's speaker system. For some reason, it seems like it's treating the bluetooth audio for music the same as the bluetooth audio for phone calls.

Maybe I'm missing something easy. Haven't spent much time digging or messing around with various settings to see if I can sort it out, but thought I'd check here before doing so.

Regardless, we're thrilled to finally be LC owners, and can't wait to get more involved on here!

When playing music via bluetooth, hit the "sound" button to go to the settings for speaker output, make sure it's in the middle for all speakers. If it is and it's still only playing out of one speaker, I'd try a different phone if available. If it does the same on both phones, there's a problem and I would take it to the dealer.

I can confirm that on my '17, connecting my iPhone (both 8 and X) to the LC via Bluetooth get full audio through all the speakers from Pandora.

You mentioned not having spent much time messing around with it yet. Do that! You'll be stunned with both what's in the Owner's Manual and with all the options for audio/visual once you dig into it. It's a long weekend's fun! One thing you won't find much joy with is Entune, so skip that until you have some extra patience and some "attitude adjustment".

@LALC and @Sandroad thanks for the input. I'll spend some time with the Owner's Manual and messing around with various settings as well as hooking up another phone. Appreciate the feedback, will check back in once I've made some headway. Thanks again!
