Bluetooth Audio Streaming From YouTube?

[bsadelman]

Hey Guys - Just picked up my 2014 CX-5 GT with Tech Package this past weekend. This board has been a extremely valuable tool so far.

My question relates to the Bluetooth Streaming Audio. I can't seem to get the audio from the YouTube app to stream to the Mazda. It goes on for a second and then goes right back to the iPod music or pauses all together. I have tried to search the forums but couldn't locate anything. Thanks for any input you can provide me.

Any ideas guys?

I could try on my android, but that's not going to help since you're on an iOS device

For what it's worth....with my Note 2, I was able to go from streaming pandora, to youtube video, and resuming back to the song in pandora with no issues.

Same thing happens with mine.
Can't stream YouTube.

No issues on android here too.

Bumping this old thread. iPhone 5 owner. Latest iOS. Cannot jump from pandora to YouTube vids. Interested in sound---it goes on for a sec, then pandora overrides and pops back on. I tried killing the app, and it still reloads, and cannot hear YouTube sound. SOL due to iphone?

Works fine on Android (Nexus 5 here), but Bluetooth audio on the CX-5 lags so it will not match up with what's on the screen of your phone. About 2-5 seconds of lag.
This goes for all audio, including music. Tap pause and it takes a few seconds till the audio stops playing from your car speakers.

Bluetooth buffers the audio in case of signal drop that would result in a glitch. The CD player does the same thing, actually - when mobile CD players had their big advance in the mid-90s of being "skip free" it was because they buffered a few seconds of audio into memory.

The other week I had an unusual situation where the display would take 10-15 seconds after the song began before it updated the track info. I rebooted my iphone and this fixed it. Pretty odd.

I'm going to disagree.
Audio CDs are buffered to prevent skipping when you car goes over bumps. Discmans and etc do the same. But when you press pause/play it will do it right away.

I have other Bluetooth audio adapters, bluetooth headphones, bluetooth speakers etc... Audio with my phone(s) is instantaneous with those devices. It is not so with the Bluetooth system in the CX-5. It is a known "issue". There are other threads about bluetooth audio lag on the CX-5.

Works fine in mine. I've been using it a lot actually. Android OS on HTC one.

Make sure you choose proper source which is bluetooth.

edit: Yes, there is a lag between audio/video.

I'm having the exact same issue in my 2015 mazda6 touring and my iphone 5s with ios 7.1.2. YouTube goes on for a second and then pauses. If I try to unpause it by selecting play/pause, my ipod music starts playing. If I try to get YouTube on again, it won't stream the sound.

I brought it to the Apple Store and they tested it on one of their bluetooth streaming speaker devices and YouTube streamed fine. The Genius told me that it must be an issue with the vehicle. Has anyone figured out the issue?

 

[nXt]

Yeah, get an Android phone. Works fine Used it last week to watch the World Cup games on the WatchESPN App, and audio streamed to CX-5 BT just fine, though lagged with the video.

I was running in to the same issue, until I discovered that you can stream the audio from youtube using the web app (safari, chrome, etc) instead of the youtube "app." I have an iPhone 5 running the latest iOS 7. Hope that works.

I figured out a solution! Basically, instead of running YouTube from the Bluetooth option, turn the Pandora option on and the audio will begin to stream from YouTube.
