does not need to be programmed again as a
hands-free mobile phone if it has already
been programmed as a Bluetooth audio
device.
lThe transmission range of a Bluetooth
audio device is about 10 m (32 ft).
Therefore, if there is another Bluetooth
audio device within a 10 m (32 ft) radius of
the vehicle, the device may be identified
and programmed instead.
