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 do not need to be plugged
into the auxiliary jack.
After programming, operate the audio
system's control panel to play/stop the
music or audio.
CAUTION
Ø Always program audio devices to
the Bluetooth audio system while
the vehicle is stopped.
Ø Because 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.
