Bluetooth®
Bluetooth® 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
 If 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. Device 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
1. Using the audio control dial, select
the pairing mode “PAIR DEVICE”
in the “BT SETUP” mode. (Refer to
“Bluetooth® audio device set-up” for
details.)
2. Press the audio control dial to
determine the mode. After “ENTER
PIN” is displayed on the audio display
for three seconds, “PIN 0000” is
displayed and the PIN code can be
input.
3. Input the PIN code of your Bluetooth®
audio device by pressing channel preset
buttons 1 to 4 while “PIN 0000” is
displayed.
Press channel preset button 1 to input
the first digit, 2 for the second, 3 for the
third, and 4 for the forth. For example,
if the PIN code were “4213” press
channel preset button 1 four times (1,
2, 3, 4), button 2 twice (1, 2), button
3 once (1), and button 4 three times
(1, 2, 3). If the “PIN 0000” display
disappears before finishing the PIN
code input, repeat the procedure from
Step 1.
NOTE
Some devices accept only a particular
pairing code (Usually, “0000” or
“1234”).
If pairing cannot be completed, refer to the
owner's manual of your mobile device, and
try those numbers if necessary.
4. Press the audio control dial while
the input PIN code is displayed.
“PAIRING” flashes on the audio
display.
5. Operate the Bluetooth® audio device
and set it to the pairing mode while
“PAIRING” is flashing.
6. When the pairing is completed, and
“PAIR SUCCESS” are displayed after
about 10-30 seconds, after which
“PAIR SUCCESS” continues to be
displayed for three seconds, and then
the unit returns to the normal display.

“MEMORY FULL” is displayed. Delete
one paired device to pair another one.
Pairing a Bluetooth® audio device which
does not have a four-digit PIN code
1. Using the audio control dial, select
the pairing mode “PAIR DEVICE”
in the “BT SETUP” mode. (Refer to
“Bluetooth® audio set up” for details.)
2. Press the audio control dial to
determine the mode. After “ENTER

requires a PIN code, input “0000”.
6. When the pairing is completed, and
“PAIR SUCCESS” are displayed after
about 10-30 seconds, after which
“PAIR SUCCESS” continues to be
displayed for three seconds, and then
the unit returns to the normal display.
NOTE
 If pairing cannot be completed, try
“1234” instead. Refer to the owner's
manual of your mobile device for the
right PIN code. Some Bluetooth® audio devices need a
certain amount of time before the
symbol is displayed. If the pairing failed, “Err” flashes for
three seconds. Pairing cannot be performed while
the vehicle is moving. If you attempt
to perform pairing while the vehicle is
moving, “PAIR DISABLE” is displayed. If seven Bluetooth® audio devices have
already been paired to the vehicle,
pairing cannot be performed and
“MEMORY FULL” is displayed. Delete
one paired device to pair another one.
Device selection
If several devices have been paired, the
Bluetooth® unit links the device last
paired. If you would like to link a different
paired device, it is necessary to change the
link. The order of device priority after the
link has been changed is maintained even
when the ignition is switched off.
1. Using the audio control dial, select the
link change mode “LINK CHANGE”
in the “BT SETUP” mode. (Refer to
“Bluetooth® audio device set-up” for
details.)

Bluetooth® audio device is displayed.
If no Bluetooth® audio device is
currently linked, the name of the first
device among the paired devices is
displayed.

the Bluetooth® unit links this device.
If you would like to use a Bluetooth®
audio type device which has been
previously paired to the Bluetooth® unit,
the link must be changed to this device. If an error occurs while trying to link
a device, “Err” flashes in the audio
display for three seconds, and the
display returns to “LINK CHANGE”.
If this occurs, check the pairing status
of the Bluetooth® audio device and the
