You can make calls through the exterior antenna

the exterior antenna helps when there is a low

hold the Rear Seat Remote in your hand, the
screen will automatically switch to the Phone
menu when there is an active phone call. Pay at-
tention to the positioning of the screen so that
the other person on the call can hear you.
You can use the phone functions with the Rear

for example, the Bluetooth settings for connect-
ing with the mobile device.
Connecting a mobile device

open on your mobile device during the connec-
tion setup. The mobile device to be connected
