If the automatic connection is made during an active telephone call, the telephone control can only make a connection via HFP. Change the Bluetooth connection to rSAP in order to use all telephone control functions28.
If a Bluetooth connection cannot be set up even though all requirements are fulfilled or if the telephone control does not function “normally”, the mobile phone's system may have crashed. Remove the battery and insert again. Switch the mobile phone back on and try to establish a Bluetooth connection.
Volkswagen recommends not switching on authorization on the mobile phone so that you confirm the connection queries again before each automatic connection setup.
