Strange bluetooth Columbus issue. Bluetooth working but also not?!

I have a weird problem on my 2012 tdi with columbus headunit.

Blue tooth connects and I can play my spotify from my phone however it doesn't come up on the columbus head unit and I can't skip songs from the steering wheel, it's like it's not connected to the phone with the touch screen (bluetooth symbol not lit up or anything on the screen top right)

On Friday it did which is weird, I could control the songs from the head unit, I could also skip songs from the steering wheel whereas now I can't at all, seems to be pretty hit and miss. I only got the car the other day so i'm not too familiar with it.

Am I doing something daft? Phone is an Android Samsung S22 ultra if it makes any difference

Thanks
