With this system you can also play your
favourite music stored on USB device and
select tracks and playback modes with
both voice commands or buttons on the
steering wheel.
THE HANDS-FREE KIT
The basic characteristic of this hands-free
kit is voice recognition with Bluetooth
®
wireless technology. With this system you
can make and receive calls safely and se-
curely using either voice commands or
buttons on the steering wheel under what-
ever driving condition without having to
take your eyes off the road or removing
your hands from the steering wheel, as re-
quired by current law regulations.
Bluetooth
®wireless technology enables
wireless connection between your mobile
phone and the hands-free kit installed on
your car. To use the hands-free kit, you need a
Bluetooth
®wireless technology enabled
mobile phone. This hands-free kit gives
you the possibility of interacting vocally
with your mobile phone while driving,
even if your mobile device does not fea-
ture this capability. You can also interact
with your mobile phone manually and vi-
sually using the steering wheel controls
and the instrument panel multifunction dis-
play.
For further details on the mobile phones
supported by Blue&Me™, refer to sec-
tion Blue&Me™SUPPORTED MOBILE
PHONES.
To get started with Blue&Me™hands-
free kit with voice recognition, you have
to simply pair your Bluetooth
®wireless
technology enabled mobile phone with the
system.
Pairing is an operation that has to be made
only once.
Hands-free kit with Bluetooth®wireless technology
and media player
OVERVIEW
Windows Mobile™-based Fiat
Blue&Me™is a personal telematic sys-
tem enabling to use communication and
entertainment applications expressly de-
signed for use in the car.
The Blue&Me™system installed on your
car is equipped with hands-free kit and
media player, and it is preset for future in-
stallation of additional services.
The Blue&Me™system, fully integral
with voice commands, buttons on the
steering wheel and multifunction display
messages, gives you the possibility of in-
teracting with your Bluetooth
®wireless
technology mobile phone (even if you
keep it in your pocket or bag) without hav-
ing to take your eyes off the road or re-
moving your hands from the steering
wheel. To use voice commands you are
not required to train the voice recognition
system to recognize your voice. This im-
plies that the system is nearly equally per-
forming with different persons, i.e.: the
voice recognition system is of the “speak-
er independent” type.

❒Managing Blue&Me™update
❒Media player settings
❒Advanced Options.
To perform functions and adjustments in

mands at car standstill. When the car is

ly. Instructions are provided for both
methods.
If you encounter difficulties with any of
the Blue&Me™settings, consult section
TROUBLESHOOTING.PAIRING A MOBILE PHONE
Before you can use your mobile phone
with the hands-free phone function on
your car, you must create a pairing rela-
tionship between the mobile phone and
the hands-free phone system.
During the pairing procedure, the hands-
free phone system attempts to detect a
phone equipped with Bluetooth
®wire-
less technology within range, and then es-
tablishes the connection using a Personal
Identification Number (PIN). After a pair-
ing relationship is established, you can use
the hands-free phone system to make and
receive phone calls, and do other opera-
tions via your wirelessly-connected mo-
bile phone.
IMPORTANT The mobile phone pairing
PIN number is a special PIN generated
randomly at each new pairing and used
just for this operation. It is not your SIM
PIN and therefore it is not required to
store or to keep it in mind; loosing it will
not impair the hands-free phone system
operation.
The pairing procedure will only need to
be performed once for your mobile
phone. After this procedure Blue&Me™
will automatically connect to your phone
each time you get into the car and turn
the ignition key to MAR.
