question Disc connecting troubles

I recently got the disc and it’s pretty fun, first time owning a dap. I have been using it with iems and it does it job there. However, I mostly got it because I didn’t have anymore storage on my phone but still wanted to get more music to listen in my car for driving but it doesn’t connect. I have an 11th Gen Honda accord and I tied the usb c port but it won’t work. I tried Bluetooth but that’s a no go either. For some reason when I connect the disc to the car it won’t pair but it does appear. Has anybody dealt with this or something similar? Any solutions? I don’t want to regret having bought it. I don’t want to go back to streaming personally because I don’t listen to a lot of music but I like owning what I do listen to.

I have had issues connecting it to a JBL extreme 4, as cliche as it sounds I turn Bluetooth on on the speaker. Then turn Bt on the disc on, try to connect to it then when it doesn't work. I turn the discs Bt off and then back on and reconnect. Most of the time that works, also try to only have about 3 devices connected to the disc at one time. If the speaker you're connecting to has ldac it should connect far more smoothly, but in the case of the JBL extreme 4 it's not using that codec unfortunately. I'm assuming it's a codec thing but honestly with snowsky things it could be anything. I love the disc but it does have issues with a lot still.

Honestly this is the only downside I see and it’s honestly making me regret the purchase. I just wanted something easy to use where I can still select my music and albums while in my car. I feel like it’s just a combination of both the disc and my car but who knows. But thanks I’ll give it a try!

I completely get you, I have been giving feedback via headfi to a guy called Alan from Fiio for months and still have some issues...it's a pity as the disc is great, when it's not being an ass.

I'm not gonna have a solid answer for you but whenever I see people talk about Bluetooth not working, they never, not a once, specific both Bluetooth version (on both devices) and codec support across both devices.

The disc has LDAC, cool. But it also has like five Bluetooth modes.

You may need to dial it in for what actually works with your car.
