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 or navigation systems. 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.
Yes: Available
No: Not available
Bluetooth is the registered trademark of Bluetooth SIG. Inc.
Note
l
It 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.
l Battery consumption of Bluetooth audio devices is higher while Bluetooth-connected.
l If 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, pairing 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.
nBluetooth audio device pairing
Any Bluetooth audio device must be paired to the vehicle’s Bluetooth unit before it can be
listened to over the vehicle’s speakers.
A maximum of seven devices including Bluetooth audio devices and hands-free mobile
phones can be paired to one vehicle.
Note
lAlways perform Bluetooth audio device pairing while the vehicle is stopped.
l If a Bluetooth device has already been paired to the vehicle as a hands-free mobile phone,
it does not need to be paired again when using the device as a Bluetooth audio device.
Conversely, it does not need to be paired again as a hands-free mobile phone if it has
already been paired as a Bluetooth audio device.
l The transmission range of a Bluetooth audio device is about 10 m (32 ft).
l Therefore, if there is another Bluetooth audio device within a 10 m (32 ft) radius of the
vehicle, the device may be identified and paired instead.
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 pairing procedure differs depending on whether it has a PIN
code or not. Function A2DP A2DP+AVRCP
