Pairing a cell phone
A Bluetooth ®
-enabled cell phone or other device
can be paired and wirelessly connected to the infotainment system.
When a cell phone or other device is connected, audio can be streamed to the infotainment sys-tem. Toggle between the devices by pressing the TEL and MEDIA buttons to access the respective
sources' functions. Before a Bluetooth device can be used with the infotainment system, it has to be paired("registered"). This procedure only needs to be done once for each device (a maximum of 20 Bluetooth devicescan be paired to the system). Once a device hasbeen paired and its Bluetooth function is acti-

INFOTAINMENT
388vated, it can then be selected for use (wirelessly connected) to the vehicle's infotainment system. Two Bluetooth devices can be connected at the same time. However, if two cell phones are con-nected, only the most recently connected onecan be used as a phone. The other one can beused to e.g., to stream audio or video. To changewhat the phone will be used for, see the article"Bluetooth settings." A paired and connected cell phone can also be used to connect the vehicle to the Internet. To doso, its tethering/personal hotspot function mustbe activated. There are two ways of pairing a Bluetooth device to the infotainment system:
• Searching for the phone (or other device) from the vehicle
• Searching for the vehicle from the phone (orother device)
The following instructions assume that a cell phone is to be paired to the infotainment systembut the procedure is the same for any Bluetoothdevice.
Alternative 1: searching for the phone

Playing media through the AUX/USB sockets
An external media device, such as an iPod or an mp-3 player can be connected to the infotain-ment system.
A device with rechargeable batteries can be recharged when it is connected to the USBsocket (if the ignition is on or the engine is run-ning). To simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is advisable to only store files with compatible fileformats on it. It will take considerably longer forthe system to index the files on the drive if it con-tains anything other than compatible files. In addition to audio, the vehicle's media player also supports video playback when the externaldevice is connected to the USB socket. Certain mp-3 players have proprietary file formats that are not supported by the infotainment sys-tem.
