BLUETOOTH® AUDIO
Your vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth®
Audio.
If you have a compatible Bluetooth® device
with streaming audio capability (A2DP pro-
file), you can set up a wireless connection
between your Bluetooth® device and the in-
vehicle audio system. This connection allows
you to listen to the audio from the Blue-
tooth® device using your vehicle speakers. It
also may allow basic control of the device for
playing and skipping audio files using the
AVRCP Bluetooth® profile. Not all Blue-
tooth® devices have the same level of
controls for AVRCP. Please consult the
manual for your Bluetooth® device for more
details.
Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Bluetooth®
functions share the same frequency band
(2.4 GHz). Using the Bluetooth® and the
wireless LAN functions at the same time
may slow down or disconnect the commu-
nication and cause undesired noise. It is
recommended that you turn off the wireless
LAN (Wi-Fi) (if so equipped) when using the
Bluetooth® functions.Connecting Bluetooth® audio de-
vice
A Bluetooth® audio device must be con-
nected to the vehicle before operation.
