an Authorized Mazda Dealer when
purchasing or changing devices.
Bluetooth audio devices which
correspond to specified Bluetooth
versions and profiles can be
Bluetooth-connected to the
vehicle's Bluetooth unit, however,
even among these devices are ones
which cannot be Bluetooth-
connected or have limited
functionality. Each device to be
