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
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.

lA2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution
Profile) Ver. 1.0
lAVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control
Profile) Ver. 1.0/1.3A2DP 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.

Bluetooth is the registered trademark of
Bluetooth SIG. Inc.
NOTE
lIt may not be possible to play a Bluetooth
audio device if it is placed in a location
where transmission is compromised, such
as inside a metal container or the trunk.
Move the Bluetooth audio device to a
location where transmission is possible.
lThe battery 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 whether the Bluetooth
adapter is properly connected.
qBluetooth Audio Preparation
Bluetooth audio device set-up
Bluetooth audio programming, changes,
deletions, and display of programmed
device information can be performed.
Bluetooth audio device programming
Any Bluetooth audio device must be
programmed 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 programmed to one
vehicle.NOTE
lAlways perform Bluetooth audio device
programming while the vehicle is stopped.
lProgramming cannot be performed while
the vehicle is moving. If you attempt to
perform programming while the vehicle is
moving,“Pairing prohibited”is displayed.
lA total of seven devices can be programmed
to one vehicle. If you require an additional
device to be programmed to a vehicle with
seven devices already programmed, delete
one of the programmed devices before
programming the latest one.
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 6-138).
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.
