Requirements and information

Fig. 163 MEDIA-IN multimedia jack.

WARNING
A mobile phone on the seat, instrument panel or in other places can be thrown around the inside of the vehicle during a sudden braking maneuver, a crash or other accident and injure vehicle occupants.
x Never attach a mobile phone to, or place it on, a door, the windshield, or above or near the areas marked “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, the instrument panel, and the seat backrests, or between these areas and the vehicle occupants. The mobile phone could cause serious injury in an accident, especially when the airbags inflate.
WARNING
Always switch off the mobile phone when refueling and in areas with a risk of explosion. The electromagnetic radiation can cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire.
x The mobile phone can automatically log itself into the mobile phone network again when the Bluetooth® connection to the telephone control is interrupted.
WARNING
If a mobile phone not connected to an external aerial is used in the vehicle, electromagnetic radiation in the interior could exceed limit values. This also applies if the outside antenna is not installed properly.
x Heart specialists advise that mobile phones can adversely affect the way pacemakers work. Always keep the mobile phone and its integrated antenna at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from a pacemaker.
x Never carry a mobile phone that is switched on in the breast pocket directly over a pacemaker.
x If you suspect there may be interference with a pacemaker or other medical device, switch the mobile phone off immediately.
NOTICE
x Your mobile phone and the telephone control must always be switched off in areas where special regulations apply and when the use of mobile phones is forbidden. Radiation from a switched-on mobile phone can interfere with sensitive technical and medical devices, potentially causing malfunctions or damage to the devices.
x High speeds, poor weather and road conditions as well as the network quality may impair telephone calls in the vehicle and lead to loss of connection.
General information
When pairing a mobile phone with the telephone control using the hands-free profile (HFP) observe the information for use of a mobile phone in the vehicle without connection to the external aerial
Only use compatible Bluetooth® devices. Information on compatible Bluetooth products is available from your Volkswagen dealer or on the Internet.
Follow the operational instructions of the mobile phone and the accessory manufacturer.
You may experience poor reception or may be cut off in areas where the signal is weak.

On a connected Bluetooth audio source, all warning and service tones, such as touch tones on a mobile phone, should be switched off to avoid interference and malfunctions.
If the device is connected to the telephone control via A2DP, no other devices can be paired. The Bluetooth visibility of the telephone control deactivated for the duration of the active A2DP connection. This is not a fault in the telephone control. In order to pair further devices, deactivate the Bluetooth audio (A2DP) feature in Telephone settings and Bluetooth settings and activate it again after completing the pairing.
Adjusting the volume

x If you cannot use the Infotainment System, your mobile phone, or the mobile phone controls safely while driving, wait until later or find a safe spot where you can pull off the road and park the vehicle.
x Always set sound volume levels so that you can clearly hear horns, sirens, and other warning sounds outside the vehicle.
For device search, select a location with the likelihood of only a few unknown Bluetooth devices, for example in the garage. The search range for Bluetooth is approximately 10 meters.
Pairing a mobile phone via Bluetooth-HFP

WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury when starting and running the vehicle's engine:
x Never start the engine or let it run in a confined or enclosed area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous, colorless, and odorless gas. Carbon monoxide can cause unconsciousness and death.

The vehicle exhaust system and the catalytic converter or diesel particulate filter get very hot. They can cause fires and serious personal injury.
x Never park the vehicle where the hot exhaust system or catalytic converter could ignite flammable materials, such as brush, leaves, dry grass, spilled fuel, etc.
x Never apply additional undercoating or rust proofing on or near the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipes, catalytic converter, diesel particulate filter, or heat shields.
