A Bluetooth®-enabled cell phone or other devicecan be paired and wirelessly connected to theinfotainment system.
When a cell phone or other device is connected,audio can be streamed to the infotainment sys-tem. Toggle between the devices by pressing theTEL and MEDIA buttons to access the respectivesources' functions.
Before a Bluetooth device can be used withthe infotainment system, it has to be paired("registered").
This procedure only needs to be done once foreach device (a maximum of 20 Bluetooth devicescan be paired to the system). Once a device hasbeen paired and its Bluetooth function is acti-vated, it can then be selected for use (wirelesslyconnected) to the vehicle's infotainment system.
Two Bluetooth devices can be connected at thesame time. However, if two cell phones are con-nected, only the most recently connected onecan be used as a phone. The other one can beused to e.g., to stream audio or video. To changewhat the phone will be used for, see the article"Bluetooth settings."
A paired and connected cell phone can also beused to connect the vehicle to the Internet. To doso, its tethering/personal hotspot function mustbe activated.
