Default Usb phone issue

Recently I noticed that when I play my music via my phone through Bluetooth. I am getting more than music. The audio portion from videos that I have saved on my phone are coming through and game sounds from other apps that I have on my phone are playing as well. Has this happen to anyone else? I am at a loss of trying to figure this mess out! I have asked my local dealership 7 times for a infotainment boot camp and get response from any of the 5 dealerships in my area. Every time i go in they know less than me! VERY FRUSTRAED! ANY FIND OF HELP IS WELCOMED!

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

What is the model of your cell phone?

I would offer that the phone simply has numerous files saved on it, music, audio tracks (that are part of videos) and the phone/infotainment system dont' know the difference, so they get played.
I have a file folder on my phone full of various mp3 audio files I edited as ringtones, notifications and alarms and they came booming through when I 1st got the bike.

Anything that would play through your phone's speak will come across via bluetooth. The cheap and easy solution is to get a flash drive and then just copy and paste an iTunes playlist (or other audio files if you don't use iTunes) to the drive. Plug it in and don't even worry about using your phone. This is what I do and I have 1,000+ songs on shuffle to keep me entertained for quite a while. Just a thought...

Mine always works best when it's plugged in via usb. The volume is always louder/clearer and for some reason all my play lists show up. When I listen via bluetooth my playlists don't show up for some reason.

If it's a I phone maybe try closing down all your apps but the music you want and maybe it won't bleed thru if they are not running? I'm not a computer guy but how can they come thru if they are off and closed down?

I'm taking a guess here (I don't use the internet music apps).
I suspect Pandora doesn't actually store the music files on your phone, just goes out and gets it from the internet.

There's no way for Bluetooth to get the playlist and to put it on your phone.

+1
I bought a couple of 16 gb USB drives and put the tunes on them.
Heck, I have more flash drives for the bike, then my PC's!
2 for music, 1 for S/W updates and two for GPS stuff.

Ride Safe,
