Bluetooth® audio device pairing
Any Bluetooth
® audio device must be
paired 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 paired to one
vehicle.
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.

changed to this device.
If an error occurs while trying to
link a device, “Err” flashes in the
audio display for three seconds, and
the display returns to “LINK
CHANGE”. If this occurs, check the
pairing status of the Bluetooth

audio device and the location of the
device in the vehicle (not in the
luggage compartment/trunk or a
metal-type box), and then try the link
operation again.
Device selection can also be done
using voice recognition.
