2011 INFINITI QX climate control

BLUETOOTHSTREAMING AUDIO
Your INFINITI is equipped with Bluetooth
Streaming Audio. If you have a compatible
Bluetoothdevice with streaming audio (A2DP
profile), you can set up the wireless connection
between your Bluetooth device and the in-
vehicle audio system. This connection allows
you to listen to the audio from the Bluetooth
device using your vehicle speakers. It also may
allow basic control of the device for playing and
skipping audio files using the AVRCP Bluetooth
profile. All Bluetooth Devices do not have the
same level of controls for AVRCP. Please consult
the manual for your Bluetooth Device for more
details.
Once your Bluetooth device is connected to
the in-vehicle audio system, it will automati-
cally reconnect whenever the device is present
in the vehicle and you select Bluetooth Audio
from your audio system. You do not need to
manually reconnect for each usage.
