NOTElAlways perform Bluetooth audio device
programming while the vehicle is stopped.
lIf a Bluetooth device has already been
programmed to the vehicle as a hands-free
mobile phone, it does not need to be
programmed again when using the device
as a Bluetooth audio device. Conversely, it
does not need to be programmed again as a
hands-free mobile phone if it has already
been programmed as a Bluetooth audio
device.
lLook around to be sure other likely
Bluetooth audio devices are not in range
when you start to program. If in doubt,
move your car to another location. The
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.
lDevice registration can also be done using
voice recognition (page 6-75).
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
programming procedure differs depending
on whether it has a PIN code or not.
Programming a Bluetooth audio device
which has a PIN code (4 digits)
1. Using the audio control dial, select thepairing program 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 information 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 display.
5. Operate the Bluetooth audio device and set it to the program mode while
“PAIRING ”is flashing.
6. When the programming 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.
