Bluetooth® audio device pairing (Bluetooth® Audio)

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.

 

  • 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.

     

    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 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.

     

    • 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.

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 PIN” is displayed on the audio display for three seconds, “PIN 0000” is displayed and the PIN code can be input.

  3. Press the audio control dial while “PIN 0000” is displayed.

    “PAIRING” flashes on the audio display.

  4. Operate the Bluetooth® audio device and set it to the pairing mode while “PAIRING” is flashing.

  5. As the Bluetooth® audio device 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.

     

    • 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.
