Pairing a phone is only part of playing its music in the G6. The music app must use Bluetooth as its source, and the phone must actually be sending audio to the car.

Checked on 27 October 2026 against XPENG’s 2025 English LHD G6 manual for XOS V5.8.0, printed pages 58, 62. Chinese-market owner reports identify the question; they do not establish a common defect, a guaranteed fix, or matching export equipment. Stop if your car’s controls differ.

THE QUICK ANSWER

Open Device Connection and pair the phone for Bluetooth media. In the music app, use the audio-source selector at the upper left and choose Bluetooth, then start playback on the phone.

Before you start

Park before pairing or browsing playlists. Keep the phone unlocked during any pairing prompts and start with a modest listening volume. If a digital key already works, leave it registered: this procedure concerns media playback rather than access authorization.

Connect the phone and select Bluetooth

1Open the connection pageOn the central display, open Settings → Device Connection or use the connection control in the top status bar. Turn Bluetooth on.
2Pair for mediaEnable Allow Detection if discovery is needed, select the phone in the Bluetooth device interface and follow the pairing prompts on both devices.
3Select the music sourceOpen the music app from the bottom taskbar. Use its upper-left audio-source selector and choose Bluetooth; tap Connect Bluetooth if prompted.
4Start a simple playback testPlay one familiar track on the phone and confirm its audio output is the vehicle. Adjust media volume rather than the navigation or call volume.

Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this tab.

Check the result

The track should play through the car speakers. If another phone takes over, identify the connected media device before changing anything else. Do not assume that Bluetooth playback includes on-screen lyrics or every feature of a native music app.

Chinese owner report — anecdotal context

A Chinese G6 first-week report discusses listening to phone music over Bluetooth and asks for lyrics on the display. That request is a useful distinction between audio playback and features the export manual does not promise. Report dated 2023-09-18; domestic-market anecdote.

Common questions

Will the G6 show lyrics from every phone app?+

The cited manual documents Bluetooth audio playback; it does not guarantee lyrics for every app.

Does a working phone key mean music is paired?+

No. The manual distinguishes key Bluetooth from media Bluetooth.
