When a portable audio unit equipped with the Bluetooth
® communication function is paired
to the vehicle, you can listen to music stored on the paired portable au\
dio device from the
vehicle's speakers. It is not necessary to connect the portable audio de\
vice to the vehicle's
external input terminal. After programming, operate the vehicle audio control panel to play/
stop the audio.
NOTE
 For your safety, a device can be paired only when the vehicle is parked. If the vehicle
starts to move, the pairing procedure will end. Park the vehicle in a safe place before
pairing.
 The communication range of a Bluetooth® equipped device is about 10 meters (32 ft) or
less.
 Basic audio operation is available using voice commands even if Bluetoot\
h® is not
connected.
 For safety reasons, operation of the center display is disabled while the vehicle is\
being
driven. However, items not displayed in gray can be operated using the commander
switch while the vehicle is being driven.

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.
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 for 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). If 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
When “GO BACK” is selected and the
audio control dial is pressed, the display
returns to “LINK CHANGE”.
6. If the link to the desired device is
successful, the symbol is displayed
again, together with “LINK
CHANGED”. “LINK CHANGED” is
displayed for three seconds, then it
returns to the normal display.
NOTE
 Some Bluetooth® audio devices need a
certain amount of time before the

symbol is displayed. If a hands-free type mobile phone has
been the most recently paired device,
the Bluetooth® unit links this device.
If you would like to use a Bluetooth®
audio type device which has been
previously paired to the Bluetooth
® unit,
the link must be 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 trunk or a metal-type box), and
then try the link operation again.
 Device selection can also be done using
voice recognition.
How to confirm the device currently
linked
Switch to the link-change mode. (Refer to
“Changing the link to a Bluetooth
® audio
device”)
The device name displayed first is the
device which is currently linked.
Deleting a device
1. Using the audio control dial, select the
pairing delete mode “PAIR DELETE”
in the “BT SETUP”mode. (Refer to
“Bluetooth
® audio device set-up” for

Confirmation Prompts
The confirmation prompt confirms the
command content to the user before
advancing to the operation requested by
the user. When this function is turned
on, the system reads out the voice
input command previously received
and confirms whether the command is
correct before advancing to the command
execution.
When the confirmation prompt function is
turned on:
(Ex. “Calling John's device. Is this
correct?”)
When the confirmation prompt function is
turned off:
(Ex. “Calling John's device.”)

Voice Recognition Learning
Function (Speaker Enrollment)
(Type A)
The voice recognition learning function
enables voice recognition appropriate to
the characteristics of the user's voice. If the
recognition of the voice input commands
to the system is not adequate, this function
can largely improve the system's voice
recognition of the user. If your voice can
be recognized sufficiently without using
this function, you may not realize the
added benefit of the function. To register
your voice, the voice input command
list must be read out. Read out the list
when the vehicle is parked. Perform the
registration in as quiet a place as possible
(Page 5-87). The registration must be
performed completely. The required time
is a few minutes. The user needs to be
seated in the driver's seat with the voice
input command list for voice recognition
learning visible.
When voice recognition learning is done
for the first time
1. Press the pick-up button or talk button
with a short press.
2. Say: [Beep] “Voice training”
3. Prompt: “This operation must be
performed in a quiet environment while
the vehicle is stopped. See the owner's
manual for the list of required training
phrases. Press and release the talk
button when you are ready to begin.
Press the hang-up button to cancel at
any time.”
4. Press the talk button with a short press.
5. The voice guidance reads out the voice
input command number (refer to the
voice input command list for voice
recognition learning). (Ex. “Please read
phrase 1”)
