Why is there no sound from my Pioneer DEH-X4600BT Bluetooth audio source?
- K
  Krista CollinsAug 8, 2025
  If the sound from the Bluetooth audio source is not playing back on your Pioneer Car Receiver, it could be due to a call in progress on a connected Bluetooth phone. The sound will resume once the call ends. Alternatively, if a Bluetooth-connected phone is in use, avoid operating it. If a call was made and immediately ended, try reconnecting the Bluetooth connection between your unit and the phone to properly terminate the previous connection.
