Why do some of my songs have sound missing when on bluetooth?

It doesn't happen to every song, but when I use my iPhone in my car it seems to be missing certain instruments, most notably on tracks that go from left to right. Instead of having it in both channels it is eliminating one of the instruments, usually on the left channel. This does not happen if it is plugged into a pair on headphones, only on the Bluetooth. Everything was fine until I started using iTunes Match, it does it on matched songs that were redownloaded to the iPhone. It is crazy annoying because it sounds like a bad demo version, that is in some songs literally sounding like half of a song.
Facts:
iPhone 4s 64GB
2012 VW Passat
Yes iTunes match is used and the songs have been downloaded to the iPhone locally
Yes I have unpaired the Bluetooth and deleted it from the car and iPhone just in case
Any help would be much appreciated!! Thank you in advance

Check out this thread on a VW forum -> 2012 Passat Bluetooth iPhone Stereo vs Mono
It looks like sound from the left channel isn't working on that headunit, the thread has a few ways you can avoid the problem.
You'll probably have to wait for an update to iOS or your VW's stereo.

  • Why do some of my songs have an exclamation point in Itunes? When I try to play it gives an error message that it can be located?

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • Why do some of my songs have a dotted circle next to it

    Why do some of my songs have a dotted circle next to it? And I know it has to do with not allowing me to transfer those songs from iTunes to iPhone 4S.

    That indicates the file can't be found, based on the the original location provided to the iTunes library when you first added the track.

    If you have content eligible for icloud then you can stream it directly. Of course any local content requires your computer on and running iTunes to be able to see your library.

    Delete the files from iTunes. Go to the iTunes Store. Look to the right side of the iTunes Store window for the Purchased function. You can find all of your past purchases there.

  • Why are some of my songs ghosted and some are not?

    Why are some of my songs ghosted and some are not?

    Hi smiilee,
    Have you tried resetting your phone (hold down the Home and Power buttons a the same time and continue to hold until the Silver Apple appears). Once the Home screen comes back up, see if your Music is OK.
    If it is not, then, have you sync'd your phone to an iTunes library on a computer? If so, then hook it up to the computer, uncheck the "Sync Music" option so that no music is sync'd and then sync the phone. This should delete everything on the phone. Then go back and re-check the "Sync Music" option, and select any other criteria you want on that screen, and then sync again. This should put back all of your music.
    Let me know if you have any questions,

  • Why do some of the songs on iTunes not transfer to my iPhone when I drag and attempt to drop them?

    Why do some of the songs on iTunes not transfer to my iPhone when I drag and attempt to drop them?

    No one hear has any idea why you are having a problem without a lot more information. Have you checked Sync only checked songs? Have you checked "Manually manage music and videos"? Are ANY songs transferrring, or None? Are all of the songs purchased with the same iTunes account? ARE they purchased iTunes songs or from another source? Are you using the same computer all the time (the iPhone can sync music from only one computer at a time)?

  • Why do some of my emails have blue squares with a question mark instead of a picture or bar code?

    Why do some of my emails have blue squares with a question mark instead of a picture or bar code?

    No app installed that will view the pics and bar codes.  
    Which email client are you using?  Which version? 
    File suffix of the pics & bar codes?  Example:  .pic, .bmp, .jpg, etc.

  • Why are some of my songs listed in red?

    Why are some of the songs and albums listed in red in my library?

    You tell us, did you do anything?
    Install iTunes 11?
    Put songs into a Playlist Folder?
    Is the Playlist a Smart Playlist?
    Number two, putting songs into a Playlist Folder is guaranteed to cause songs to be "lost" from the list, eventually.
    So - if you need more help than the possible causes listed here, you need to tell us a bit more about the issue. One assumes for instance (since you've posted in the iTunes for Windows forum), that this is ocurring in iTunes. What devices are you Syncing with your iTunes Library, and what are the Playlists like on them?

  • Why are some of my songs not in order in my albums?

    I was wondering why are some of my songs not in order in my albums? This wasn't a problem when I first used i-tunes, but I had to download a newer version of i-tunes to get my sister's ipod to work.  For Example my album "AC DC Live" has track #3 Back in Black as the first song listed.  How can this be fixed?

    Hello igho234,
    Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities. You don't mention how those songs got onto your playlist, but this article may address your issue, if they were imported from a third-party application or CD.

  • HT1711 Why do some of my songs shut off before they are finished playing?

    Why do some of my songs stop playing before they are finished?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Why My iPhone 4 doesn't have sound after I upgrade it to IOS 7.0.2

    Why My iPhone 4 doesn't have sound after I upgrade it to IOS 7.0.2?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
     Cheers, Tom

    Have you turned up the volume?
    Try the buttons, or the bottom audio slider.
    Does your phone normally play audio?
