Are you expecting the video to show up or just audio?

FaceTime Audio works just like a phone call. Video of course is not supported, for numerous reasons.

In another vehicle of mine the video plays on the iOS device and the audio plays through the infotainment system- is this not possible in the M2?

Do you have Car Play? If so, try turning Car Play off.

should play via your phone/infotainment system's bluetooth connection (the audio part)
