How do I fix Bluetooth static in my car?
One of the reasons I got the car I have now was the stereo system—it’s really good, and I’ve always used Bluetooth to play music from my phone. Lately, though, there’s always static behind the music playing, which gets annoying. How can you fix Bluetooth static in a car?

Your car is one of the best places to listen to music—and it does kill the mood when the sound quality is subpar. In most cases, fixing your car’s Bluetooth static problem is just a matter of simple troubleshooting.
First, take these troubleshooting steps with your audio device/phone:
- Turn the device off and on again
- Check for device updates
- Make sure the device’s battery is charged, as this can sometimes affect Bluetooth sound quality
- Try another Bluetooth speaker to see if the problem persists
Then, check these steps with your car’s audio system:
- Listen for sound system static from other audio sources (radio, CD, aux cord, etc.)
- Turn your car’s Bluetooth off and on again
- Re-pair your device with the audio system
If you’ve tried these steps and are still getting static from Bluetooth devices (but not other audio sources), the issue could come down to signal interference. Make sure no other Bluetooth devices are getting between your phone and the speaker system, and make sure your device doesn’t get too far away from it.
Your speakers may also be to blame. In this case, it’s up to you whether you’d like an audio system expert to repair or replace components of your car’s stereo system, or if you’d rather just deal with the extra noise.
