BLUETOOTH® STREAMING
AUDIO
Your vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth®
streaming audio.
If you have a compatible Bluetooth® device
with streaming audio (A2DP profile), you
can set up a wireless connection between
your Bluetooth® device and the in-vehicle
audio system. This connection allows you to
listen to the audio from the Bluetooth®
device using your vehicle speakers. It may
also allow basic control of the device for
playing and skipping audio files using the
AVRCP Bluetooth® profile. Not all Blue-
tooth® devices have the same level of
controls for AVRCP. Please consult the
manual for your Bluetooth® device for more
details.
Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Bluetooth®
functions share the same frequency band
(2.4 GHz). Using the Bluetooth® and the
wireless LAN functions at the same time
may slow down or disconnect the commu-
nication and cause undesired noise. It is
recommended that you turn off the wireless
LAN (Wi-Fi) when using the Bluetooth®
functions.
