from the Bluetooth®
device using your vehicle’s speakers.

A cellular telephone should not be used while driving so full attention \
may be given to

connect a Bluetooth
® device as an audio player and
allow you to switch between devices.
1. Press the SETTING button on the control panel
and touch the “Bluetooth” key on
the display.
2. Select “Connected Devices”.

6. Verify that the system confirms that the device
has been selected as an audio player.

Once your Bluetooth® device has been connected
as an audio device, push the DISC•AUX button on
the control panel to select the Bluetooth
® Streaming
Audio player.

Bluetooth® connectivity issues can usually be

do not regularly turn off your cellular phone. Otherwise, try updating y\
our cellular phone
with the latest software.
