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
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.

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

lIt 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.
