different electronic devices to connect to each other without
wires or a docking station, so UConnectworks no matter

pocket, or briefcase), as long as your phone is turned on and
has been paired to the vehicle’s UConnectsystem. The
UConnectsystem allows up to seven cellular phones to be
linked to the system. Only one linked (or paired) cellular
phone can be used with the system at a time. The system is
