2017 VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG Owner´s Manual

General information
When pairing a mobile phone with the telephone control using the hands-free profile (HFP) observe the information for use of a mobile phone in the vehicle without connection to the external aerial
Only use compatible Bluetooth® devices. Information on compatible Bluetooth products is available from your Volkswagen dealer or on the Internet.
Follow the operational instructions of the mobile phone and the accessory manufacturer.
You may experience poor reception or may be cut off in areas where the signal is weak.
Most electrical devices are shielded against RF (high-frequency) signals. In rare cases, however, electronic devices may not be shielded against high-frequency signals emitted by the telephone con-trol. Interference may occur.
Some countries may have restrictions regarding the use of Bluetooth devices. Information can be obtained from the local authorities.
When connecting the telephone control with a device using Bluetooth, read the device's operat-ing manual for detailed safety information. Use only Bluetooth-compatible devices.

Description

x Bluetooth remote SIM Access Profiles (rSAP)19: The mobile phone must support rSAP. The telephone control does not use its own SIM card, but rather “borrows” the SIM data of the mobile phone via a Bluetooth connection. The mobile phone logs itself out of the GSM network and logs into the telephone control using the data from the “borrowed” SIM card. The telephone is then controlled exclusively via the controls in the vehicle. The mobile phone goes into standby mode. This Bluetooth profile allows all telephone control functions and the exterior aerial to be used to the full.
x Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile (HFP): If a mobile phone is connected via HFP to the telephone control, you can make calls wireless via the hands-free system. Many other telephone control func-tions are not available. The vehicle's exterior aerial can thus not be used.
x Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP): Bluetooth profile for transferring audio signals
Volkswagen recommends pairing a mobile phone with the telephone control via Bluetooth-rSAP in order to use all telephone control functions.

“Bluetooth audio” wireless communication interface

x To reconnect, deactivate the Bluetooth audio (A2DP) function in the Bluetooth settings menu.
x Connect a mobile phone.
x Activate Bluetooth audio (A2DP).
x Connect audio device via A2DP.
x If necessary, change settings for A2DP on the mobile phone.22
The volume can be changed directly on the mobile phone with several mobile phone models. Volkswagen recommends setting the volume to maximum on the mobile phone and adjusting the volume on the Infotainment System during operation.
On a connected Bluetooth audio source, all warning and service tones, such as touch tones on a mobile phone, should be switched off to avoid interference and malfunctions.
If the device is connected to the telephone control via A2DP, no other devices can be paired. The Bluetooth visibility of the telephone control deactivated for the duration of the active A2DP connection. This is not a fault in the telephone control. In order to pair further devices, deactivate the Bluetooth audio (A2DP) feature in Telephone settings and Bluetooth settings and activate it again after com-pleting the pairing.
Adjusting the volume

The volume of the telephone control can only be adjusted if a mobile phone is paired or a SIM card is inserted in the SIM card reader24.
Information and breakdown call

First steps

WARNING
Driving on today's roads demands the full attention of the driver at all times. Driver distrac-tion causes accidents, collisions and serious personal injury!
x Never pair the mobile phone or configure user profiles while driving. Do this only when the vehicle is parked in a safe place.
x Never let yourself be distracted when setting, adjusting, or using the Infotainment System, when using your mobile phone, or when operating the mobile phone controls.
x Always drive attentively and responsibly. Use the Infotainment system, your mobile phone, and the mobile phone controls only if road, traffic, and weather conditions permit and you will not be distracted from your driving.
x If you cannot use the Infotainment System, your mobile phone, or the mobile phone con-trols safely while driving, wait until later or find a safe spot where you can pull off the road and park the vehicle.
x Always set sound volume levels so that you can clearly hear horns, sirens, and other warning sounds outside the vehicle.
For device search, select a location with the likelihood of only a few unknown Bluetooth devices, for example in the garage. The search range for Bluetooth is approximately 10 meters.
