®audio device pairing
Any Bluetooth
®audio device must be
paired to the vehicle's Bluetooth®unit
before it can be listened to over the
vehicle's speakers.
A maximum of seven devices including
Bluetooth
®audio devices and Hands-Free
mobile phones can be paired to one
vehicle.NOTE
lIf a Bluetooth®device has already been
paired to the vehicle as a Hands-Free
mobile phone, it does not need to be paired
again when using the device as a
Bluetooth
®audio device. Conversely, it
does not need to be paired again as a
Hands-Free mobile phone if it has already
been paired as a Bluetooth
®audio device.lDevice registration can also be done using
voice recognition.
Concerning the operation of a Bluetooth®
audio device itself, refer to its instruction
manual.
Some Bluetooth
®audio devices have PIN
codes (four digits). Refer to the audio
device's instruction manual because the
pairing procedure differs depending on
whether it has a PIN code or not.
Pairing a Bluetooth
®audio device
which has a four-digit PIN code
