If there’s no sound from the radio, then this is probably more than a Bluetooth issue. Regardless, it wouldn’t hurt to try deleting the connection from both your phone and your car and starting over from scratch to see if that helps.

If re-pairing your phone with the car’s radio doesn’t do it, take it to a car audio shop.
