How does BT sound get from Combox to the head unit?

Simple as that guys, I have retrofitted a Combox (in place of a TCU) and coded everything (I think) correctly. The BT phone kit works perfectly and all options are there for BT Audio but there is no sound, so I'm trying to troubleshoot it, I assume it is on the MOST network, is this correct?

Part of me thinks that if the phone part works ok then the Combox is good and it's either incompatibility with my phone (Samsung S8) or I've wired/coded something incorrectly.

I could really do with some pointers here as the window for sending back the Combox as faulty is narrowing...

TIA

Arrghh, I'm an idiot, I didn't realise you had to go into External Devices and select the Bluetooth device again

I've read a lot of your posts trying to fix my other Combox issue, I'd be very grateful if you could have a look at this thread and see if there's anything I'm missing please? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!
