Up to 20 external devices can be paired with the device. After reaching the
maximum number, the pairing of the next external device will replace that of
the device that has not been used for the longest period of time.
A connection with a telephone that is already paired does not require coupling. It is enough to find the telephone that has been coupled in the list of coupled
phones and make the connection.WARNINGPair and connect a telephone to the device only when the vehicle is at a
standstill - there is risk of accident!

Introduction to the subject
The Android Auto ™
connection can be set up under the following conditions.
The ignition is switched on.
The unit is switched on.
The external device to be connected is switched on.
Some applications require the data connection in the connected external de-
vice to be turned on.
If the device is connected to an external device via Android Auto ™
then all the
phones currently connected, as well as the Bluetooth ®
Players are disconnec-
ted. The external device to be connected will automatically establish a new
telephone connection using Bluetooth ®
as a main phone. Connecting an addi-
tional telephone and using telephone services of the SIM card inserted in the
external module is not possible throughout the duration of the connection. A
possible data connection by using the SIM card inserted in the external module
remains operational » page 53.
An external device connected using Android Auto ™
cannot be used as an audio
source in the menu Media.
If route guidance is taking place at this moment in the device, then there is
the option to start the route guidance in the Android Auto ™
application. This is
also true reciprocally.
A list of devices and applications that the Android Auto ™
connection supports
can be found on the ™
Google website. Functionality is not guaranteed outside
of the supported regions.
