Connecting a Bluetooth® device
Up to 15 Bluetooth® devices can be paired to the infotainment system and the pairing procedure only needs to be done once for each device. After pairing has been completed, the device no longer needs to be visible or discoverable; its Bluetooth® feature only needs to be activated.
Note
The procedure for connecting an external device varies, depending on whether the device has been paired previously.
Both of the following connection methods assume that the device has not yet been paired to the system.
The examples are based on pairing a cell phone but pairing another device is done in the same way. However, it is done from MEDIAmode (press the MEDIA button on the center console to enter this mode).
There are two ways of pairing a device:
- By searching for the external device using the infotainment system's menus.
- By searching for the vehicle (infotainment system) using the external device’s Bluetooth®function.
If you are not already in telephone mode, press the TEL button on the center console.
Method 1: search for the external device using the infotainment system's menus
If this method has not succeeded, press EXITand pair the device using method 2.
Method 2: search for the vehicle using the external device’s Bluetooth®function
When the external device has been paired and selected, its Bluetooth® name will appear on the infotainment system's screen and the device can be controlled from the vehicle.
