Base Radio Bluetooth not showing up when pressing the AUX Button
Hello there!
I'm facing a weird issue with the bluetooth music audio function on my Base Radio (Non Navigation and not the Rockford Fosgate unit)
I am unable to access the Bluetooth Function to play music when pressing the AUX button. No music plays whatsoever.
I am able to pair my android phone to the unit, I am still able to make phone calls and dial my contacts, and my phone pairs with the unit and plays music, however since I am unable to select the Bluetooth option on the radio, I cannot hear anything.
If I press the dial button on my car, it shows the signal and the other phone info on the status screen on the radio. If I get a call, like usual I can speak through the cars mic and hear people over the speaker. I just cant play music.
When I press the Aux/CD button, it only cycles between the Aux input and the CD. No mention of the Bluetooth audio anymore.
Things I tried:
-Deleting the phone from the list and repairing it using voice activation.
- Going to the Bluetooth settings menu and ensuring that "Media Audio" is checked for the 'Hands free radio'
- Using another phone (same result)
The phone itself is an Xperia XA2 Ultra, and it works perfectly with other Bluetooth audio headsets and cars.
I guess it all started after I started listening to audio CD's with the unit however I dont think that can be the cause of this Bluetooth issues.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

What model year is your Outlander Sport? Sometimes, by pressing the MP3/Aux button for 3 seconds the BT audio will kick in. However, not all model years have the bluetooth audio capability in all trim levels

Oh man, I can't believe I forgot to mention the year of my car.
its a 2011. I've been usually holding down the button but that doesn't work.
Its crazy honestly, because it used to work perfectly two weeks ago.

So weird thing happened today, as I was idly pressing the AUX button since I was sitting at a red light, the Bluetooth Audio function popped up again.
This is so weird. I wasn't able to repair it to my phone due to the fact that I was driving, but I will check to see if I can play music as soon as I get out of work tonight.
