Note
l
It may not be possible to play a Bluetooth audio device if it is placed anywhere transmission 
is compromised, such as inside a metal container or the trunk. Move the Bluetooth audio 
device to a location where transmission is possible.
l Battery consumption of Bluetooth audio devices is higher while Bluetooth-connected.
l If a non-Bluetooth device is to be used, a commercially-available Bluetooth adapter is 
required. When playing an audio device with a Bluetooth adapter installed, programming of 
the audio device may not be possible or audio may not be heard from the vehicle speakers 
if the connection of the adapter and the device is poor. If this happens, check if the 
Bluetooth adapter is properly connected.
nBluetooth audio device programming
Any Bluetooth audio device must be programmed to the vehicle’s Bluetooth unit before it can 
be listened to over the vehicle’s speakers.
A maximum of seven devices including Bluetooth audio devices and hands-free mobile 
phones can be programmed to one vehicle.
Note
lAlways perform Bluetooth audio device programming while the vehicle is stopped.
l If a Bluetooth device has already been programmed to the vehicle as a hands-free mobile 
phone, it does not need to be programmed again when using the device as a Bluetooth 
audio device. Conversely, it does not need to be programmed again as a hands-free mobile 
phone if it has already been programmed as a Bluetooth audio device.
l The transmission range of a Bluetooth audio device is about 10 m (32 ft).
l Therefore, if there is another Bluetooth audio device within a 10 m (32 ft) radius of the 
vehicle, the device may be identified and programmed instead.
Concerning the operation of a Bluetooth audio device itself, refer to its instruction manual.
Some Bluetooth audio devices have PIN codes (four digits). Refer to the audio device’s 
instruction manual because the programming procedure differs depending on whether it has 
a PIN code or not. Function A2DP A2DP+AVRCP

Bluetooth Hands-Free
nWhat is Bluetooth Hands-Free?
By connecting a Bluetooth equipped mobile telephone to the hands-free unit equipped on the 
vehicle, making and receiving calls are possible using the voice recognition switch, Pick-up 
button and Hang-up button located on the steering wheel, and saying the voice commands.
A Bluetooth equipped mobile telephone communicates with the hands-free unit equipped on 
the vehicle using radio transmission (Bluetooth).
For example, if the mobile telephone is placed in a coat pocket, the phone calls can be made 
through your mobile service without direct use of the mobile telephone.
Refer to the “Bluetooth Hands-Free” in the owner’s manual.
The types of mobile phones which can be connected to the hands-free unit are limited, so 
before purchasing or changing your mobile phone model, consult an Authorized Mazda 
Dealer.
Mobile phones which can be connected to the hands-free system need to be compliant with 
Bluetooth specifications and the appropriate profile, however, even among these Bluetooth 
phones are some which will not connect with your Mazda or will have limited function. 
Therefore, consult Mazda Bluetooth Hands-Free Customer Service for information regarding 
mobile phone compatibility:
• Phone : 800-430-0153
• Web : www.MazdaUSA.com/bluetooth
Applicable Bluetooth specification: Ver. 2.0 or higher
Response profile
• HFP (Hands Free Profile) Ver. 1.5
• DUN (Dial-up Networking Profile) Ver. 1.1
• A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) Ver. 1.0
• AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) Ver. 1.0

Bluetooth Hands-Free
Note
l
If the ignition switch is turned off during a hands-free call, the line is transferred to the 
mobile telephone automatically.
l If the mobile telephone is in a location where radio reception is difficult such as a metal 
container or in the trunk, the call may not be connected using Bluetooth. If communication is 
not possible, change the location of the mobile telephone.
nMobile telephone programming
To use Bluetooth Hands-Free, the phone has to be programmed to the hands-free unit using 
the following procedure.
A maximum of seven devices including hands-free mobile phones and Bluetooth audio 
devices can be programmed to one vehicle. Refer to “Bluetooth audio device programming”. 
(   page 92)
Note
lA mobile telephone can be programmed only when the vehicle is parked.
l If a Bluetooth device has already been programmed to the vehicle as a Bluetooth audio 
device, it does not need to be programmed again when using the device as a hands-free 
mobile phone. Conversely, it does not need to be programmed again as a Bluetooth audio 
device if it has already been programmed as a hands-free mobile phone.
l Since the communication range of a Bluetooth equipped mobile telephone is about 10 
meters (32 ft), if a mobile telephone is placed within a 10-meter (32\
 ft) radius of the vehicle, 
it may be detected/programmed unintentionally while another telephone is being 
programmed.
nDeleting the link to a Mobile telephone
Refer to “Deleting the link to a Bluetooth audio device”.  (   page 94)
nChanging the registered mobile telephone
Refer to “Changing the registered Bluetooth device”. (   page 96)
