  • AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) Ver. 1.0/1.3/1.4

 

A2DP is a profile which transmits only audio to the Bluetooth® unit. If your Bluetooth® audio device corresponds only to A2DP, but not AVRCP, you cannot operate it using the control panel of the vehicle's audio system. In this case, only the operations on the mobile device are available the same as when a portable audio device for a non-compliant Bluetooth® device is connected to the AUX terminal.

Apple CarPlay use-related issues

Symptom

Cause

Solution method

Apple CarPlay cannot launch even though an Apple-genuine connector cord is inserted into the USB port and it is connected to my iPhone.

You used the wrong USB port.

Use the USB port displaying the mark to start Apple CarPlay.

The error message, “Mobile device error” is displayed after connecting my iPhone to the USB port.

There is mis-communication between the vehicle's audio system and your iPhone.

Disconnect the connector cord from the USB port once and then reconnect it.

The icon of the application I want to use is not displayed on the home screen of Apple CarPlay.

Only applications compatible with Apple CarPlay are displayed on the screen.

Contact the application's supplier.

Voice recognition using Siri is poor or incorrect for commands or contact names.

There are many possible reasons for this such as:

  1. Poor network connectivity

  2. Road noise/sound of air blowing from air conditioner

  3. Incorrect iPhone language setting

  1. Use the commander switch to complete the task or wait until there is sufficient network connectivity before using Siri again.

  2. For better voice recognition, speak loud and clear.

  3. Make sure that the iPhone language is set correctly (Example: US English vs UK English).

If you are still having difficulty using Siri, visit the Apple support site or contact Apple.

Bluetooth® Device pairing, connection problems

Symptom

Cause

Solution method

Unable to perform pairing

―

Make sure that the Bluetooth® device is compatible with the Bluetooth® unit, and that Bluetooth® and Find Mode*1 are on and the airplane mode is off in the Bluetooth® device setting. Turn off the power of the Bluetooth® device once, then turn it back on. If pairing is still not possible after this, contact an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer or Mazda Bluetooth® Hands-Free Customer Service.

Pairing cannot be performed again

The pairing information paired to the Bluetooth® unit or device is not recognised correctly.

Perform pairing using the following procedure:

  1. Delete the applicable Bluetooth® device on the Mazda Connect.

  2. Delete “Mazda” from the Bluetooth® search screen of the Bluetooth® device.

  3. Perform pairing again.

If pairing is not possible after trying the procedure, turn off the power of the Bluetooth® device once, then turn it back on. If pairing is still not possible after this, contact an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer or Mazda Bluetooth® Hands-Free Customer Service.

It takes time for automatic connection

There are a lot of paired Bluetooth® devices.

Delete the pairing information for unused Bluetooth® devices.

If it takes time for an automatic connection even though the above operation has been done, do a manual connection.

Unable to perform pairing

The Bluetooth® function and the Find Mode/Visible setting*1 on the device may turn off automatically after a period of time has elapsed depending on the device.

Check whether the Bluetooth® function and the Find Mode/Visible setting*1 on the device are turned on and pairing or reconnect.

Does not connect automatically when starting the engine

Automatically connects, but then disconnects suddenly

Disconnects intermittently

The device is in a location in which radio wave interference can occur easily, such as inside a bag in a rear seat, in a rear pocket of a pair of pants.

Move the device to a location in which radio wave interference is less likely to occur.

Does not connect automatically when starting the engine

The pairing information is updated when the device OS is updated.

Perform pairing using the following procedure:

  1. Delete the applicable Bluetooth® device on the Mazda Connect.

  2. Delete “Mazda” from the Bluetooth® search screen of the Bluetooth® device.

  3. Perform pairing again.

If pairing is not possible after trying the procedure, turn off the power of the Bluetooth® device once, then turn it back on. If pairing is still not possible after this, contact an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer or Mazda Bluetooth® Hands-Free Customer Service.

  1. Setting which detects the existence of a device external to the Bluetooth® unit.

 

  • When the OS of the device is updated, the pairing information may be deleted. If this happens, reprogramme the pairing information to the Bluetooth® unit.

  • If you pair your phone which has already been paired to your vehicle more than once in the past, you need to delete “Mazda” on your mobile device. Then, execute the Bluetooth® search on your mobile device once again, and pair to a newly detected “Mazda”.

  • Before you pair your device, make sure that Bluetooth® is “ON”, both on your phone and on the vehicle.

  • If Bluetooth®-enabled devices are used in the following locations or conditions, connection via Bluetooth® may not be possible.

    • The device is in a location hidden from the centre display such as behind or under a seat, or inside the glove compartment.

    • The device contacts or is covered by a metal object or body.

    • The device is set to power-saving mode.

  • Different Bluetooth®-enabled devices can be used for Bluetooth® Hands-Free and Bluetooth® audio. For example, device A can be connected as a Bluetooth® Hands-Free device and device B can be connected as a Bluetooth® audio device. However, the following may occur when they are used at the same time.

    • The Bluetooth® connection of the device is disconnected.

    • Noise occurs in the Hands-Free audio.

    • Hands-Free operates slowly.

Voice recognition related problems

Symptom

Cause

Solution method

Poor voice recognition

  • Excessive, slow speech.

  • Excessive, forceful speech (shouting).

  • Speaking before the beep sound has ended.

  • Loud noise (speaking or noise from outside/inside vehicle).

  • Airflow from A/C is blowing against the microphone.

  • Speaking in off-standard expressions (dialect).

Regarding the causes indicated on the left, be careful with how you speak. In addition, when numbers are spoken in a sequence, recognition ability will improve if no stop is placed between the numbers.

False recognition of numbers

Poor voice recognition

There is a malfunction in the microphone.

A poor connection or malfunction with the microphone may have occurred. Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

Phone-related voice recognition is disabled

There is a problem with the connection between the Bluetooth® unit and the device.

If there is any malfunction after checking the pairing situation, check for device pairing or connection problems.

Names in the phonebook are not easily recognised

The Bluetooth® system is under a condition in which recognition is difficult.

By carrying out the following measures, the rate of recognition will improve.

  • Clear memory from the phonebook which is not used very often.

  • Avoid shortened names, use full names. (Recognition improves the longer the name is. By not using names such as “Mum”, “Dad”, recognition will improve.)

When operating the audio, a song name is not recognised

Song names cannot be recognised by voice.

―

You want to skip guidance

―

Guidance can be skipped by quickly pressing and releasing the talk button.

Regarding problems with calls

Symptom

Cause

Solution method

When starting a call, vehicle noise from the other party can be heard

For about 3 seconds after starting a call, the Bluetooth® unit's Noise Suppression function requires time to adapt to the call environment.

This does not indicate a problem with the device.

The other party cannot be heard or the speaker's voice is quiet

The volume is set at zero or low.

Increase the volume.

Other problems

Symptom

Cause

Solution method

The indication for the remaining battery is different between the vehicle and the device

The indication method is different between the vehicle and the device.

―

When a call is made from the vehicle, the telephone number is updated in the incoming/outgoing call record but the name does not appear

The number has not been registered into the phonebook.

If the number has been registered into the phonebook, the incoming/outgoing call record is updated by the name in the phonebook when the engine is restarted.

The cell phone does not synchronize with the vehicle regarding the incoming/outgoing call record

Some types of cell phones do not synchronize automatically.

Operate the cell phone for synchronization.

It takes a long time to complete the function for changing the language

A maximum of 60 seconds is required.
