NOTE
If a Bluetooth® device has already been
paired to the vehicle as a hands-free
mobile phone, it does not need to be
paired again when using the device as a
Bluetooth
® audio device. Conversely, it
does not need to be paired again as a
hands-free mobile phone if it has
already been paired as a Bluetooth
®
audio device.
Device registration can also be done
using voice recognition.
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
pairing procedure differs depending on
whether it has a PIN code or not.
Pairing a Bluetooth
® audio device
which has a four-digit PIN code
1. Using the audio control dial, select the pairing mode “PAIR DEVICE” in the
“BT SETUP” mode. (Refer to
“Bluetooth
® audio device set-up” for
details.)
2. Press the audio control dial to
determine the mode. After “ENTER
PIN” is displayed on the audio display
for three seconds, “PIN 0000” is
displayed and the PIN code can be
input.
3. Input the PIN code of your Bluetooth®
audio device by pressing channel
preset buttons 1 to 4 while “PIN 0000”
is displayed.
Press channel preset button 1 to input
the first digit, 2 for the second, 3 for
the third, and 4 fo r the forth. For
example, if the PIN code were “4213”
press channel preset button 1 four
times (1, 2, 3, 4), button 2 twice (1, 2),
button 3 once (1), and button 4 three
times (1, 2, 3). I f the “PIN 0000”
display disappears before finishing the
PIN code input, repeat the procedure
from Step 1.
NOTE
Some devices accept only a particular
pairing code (Usually, “0000” or
“1234”).
If pairing cannot be completed, refer to
the owner's manual of your mobile
device, and try those numbers if
necessary.
4. Press the audio control dial while the input PIN code is displayed.
“PAIRING” flashes on the audio
display.
5. Operate the Bluetooth
® audio device
and set it to the pairing mode while
“PAIRING” is flashing.
6. When the pairing is completed,
and
“PAIR SUCCESS” are displayed after
about 10-30 seconds, after which
“PAIR SUCCESS” continues to be
displayed for three seconds, and then
the unit returns to the normal display.
NOTE
Some Bluetooth® audio devices need
a certain amount of time before the
symbol is displayed.

When driving, background noise can
interfere with enjoying music.
AudioPilot
®*3 noise compensation
technology continuously adjusts the music
to compensate for background noise and
vehicle speed.
It reacts only to sustained noise sources
and not intermittent ones, such as speed
bumps.
An enhanced DSP algo rithm allows faster
and more effective compensation for
unusual situations, such as driving on a
very rough road or at high speeds.
In addition, a system is equipped which
switches the audio to the optimum
acoustics corresponding to the opening
and closing of the soft top/roof.
The acoustic switching function is linked
to the operation of the top lock lever/
retractable hardtop switch and audio
playback is muted for about 1 second
while switching.
