Connecting a phone to the car via Bluetooth for the first time
It is possible to have two Bluetooth devices connected at once, in which case one of them can only play back wirelessly. The most recently connected phone will automatically be connected to make calls, send/receive messages, playback media and provide an Internet connection. It is possible to change what the phone is to be used for under Bluetooth Devices via the settings menu in the centre display’s top view. Your mobile phone needs to be equipped with Bluetooth and support tethering. After the device has been connected/registered the first time via Bluetooth, it no longer needs to be visible/discoverable, but only has Bluetooth activated. A maximum of 20 connected Bluetooth devices can be stored in the car. If you have a new device and it has the same name as the one you have previously connected to the car, you may first have to delete the old device from the car’s list of previously connected devices. After that, the new device is connected as normal. There are two options for connecting. Either search the phone from the car or search the car from the phone.
