Bluetooth Audioí
qWhat is Bluetooth Audio?
Bluetooth audio outline
By programming portable audio devices
equipped with the Bluetooth
communication function to the vehicle's
Bluetooth unit, you can listen to music or
audio recorded on these audio devices
from the vehicle's speakers. Bluetooth
audio devices are not those you do not
need to plug into the auxiliary jack.
After programming, operate the audio
system's control panel to play/stop the
music or audio.
CAUTION
ØAlways program audio devices to
the Bluetooth audio system while
the vehicle is stopped.
ØBecause only specified Bluetooth
audio devices can be used, consult
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
used with the vehicle's Bluetooth
unit needs to be checked
individually for compatibility.
Consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer concerning device
compatibility.

Ver. 2.0 or higher
Audio profile
lA2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution
Profile) Ver. 1.0
lAVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control
Profile) Ver. 1.0
A2DP is a profile which transmits only
audio to the Bluetooth unit. If your
Bluetooth audio device corresponds only
to A2DP, but not AVRCP, you cannot
operate it using the control panel of the
vehicle's audio system. In this case, the
Bluetooth audio device can be operated
by controlling the device itself, the same
as when a portable audio system without
the Bluetooth communication function is
connected to the AUX terminal.

NOTElIt may not be possible to play a Bluetooth
audio device if it is placed anywhere
transmission is compromised, such as
inside a metal container or the trunk. Move
the Bluetooth audio device to a location
where transmission is possible.
lBattery consumption of Bluetooth audio
devices is higher while Bluetooth-
connected.
lIf a non-Bluetooth device is to be used, a
commercially-available Bluetooth adapter
is required. When playing an audio device
with a Bluetooth adapter installed,
programming of the audio device may not
be possible or audio may not be heard from
the vehicle speakers if the connection of the
adapter and the device is poor. If this
happens, check if the Bluetooth adapter is
properly connected.
