Why is there no sound from my Pioneer DEH-X66BT Car Receiver Bluetooth audio source?
- B
  Brandon KellyAug 6, 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.
