I don’t know. I know I can do that with my Bluetooth, but I don’t have onboard WiFi.

In your phones Bluetooth devices list, find the one for your car. When you click it, it will open the settings for that device. Make sure the boxes for Phone Audio and Media Audio are both checked. This has nothing to do with your wi-fi.
