Bluetooth® Wireless Technology

You can pair a Bluetooth-capable phone with your vehicle for hands-free use when in operating range. Bluetooth usually supports a wireless connection of approximately 30 feet (9 m), although the range can vary depending on atmospheric conditions and the device used.

You must pair your phone with the vehicle first to use it. See Pairing a Bluetooth® Device.

Two devices can be simultaneously connected. For example, if you own a personal phone and wish to stream music while taking calls from your work phone, you can connect a first device for phone features and a second device for media. The same device can alternatively be connected for both phone and media. However, only one device can be connected for each feature.

Note: Other Bluetooth-capable devices can also be paired to your vehicle for use, such as an iPad or Android tablet.

Pairing a Bluetooth Device

Pairing a phone to your vehicle enables you to place and receive hands-free calls and access your phone’s contacts, messages, and recent call list. It also allows you to play media from various media apps from your device. Your phone will automatically connect to your vehicle whenever it is in range once it already has been paired.

Note: Pair your phone as a key with the vehicle before connecting Bluetooth audio (phone/media) for a smooth Mobile Key setup. If you have already connected Bluetooth audio and are having trouble pairing, unpair Bluetooth audio and try pairing the mobile key again. See Using the Mobile Key.

To pair a device, have it with you in the vehicle. Go to Bluetooth settings menu on your device and ensure it has Bluetooth® enabled and is discoverable. Then, follow these steps:

On the Pilot Panel, select > Connectivity > Devices.
Make sure that Bluetooth is ON. Tap Add Device to start scanning for devices. Tap the device to be paired. If the desired device is not seen, ensure the device is discoverable and tap RESCAN to scan it and try again.
Note: Pairing must be initiated from the vehicle.
CONFIRM the pairing code on your device when prompted if the pairing code on the screen matches the one on your device.
If prompted by your device, select whether to allow access to your contacts and messages.

The name of the device will be listed under KNOWN DEVICES when it is successfully paired and indicate that it is CONNECTED. A paired device will be connected for both phone and media by default. You can change device settings to disable your phone or media after pairing is complete.

Syncing Contacts and Messages

You can configure access to phone contacts and messages once a phone is paired, allowing you to make calls and display messages from contacts stored in your phone. Follow these steps:

Select EDIT next to Known Devices on the Pilot Panel Devices screen to reveal more options for each known device. Then, select the preferences button for the device that you wish to edit.
Toggle the options to sync messages and contacts with the vehicle via this screen.
Note: Larger contacts' lists can take more time to sync.
Go to your mobile device's Bluetooth settings and ensure that you have allowed show notifications to sync your messages. See Editing Bluetooth Enabled Device Preferences for more information.
Press CONFIRM to keep these settings and return to the previous screen.

Connecting and Disconnecting Bluetooth-Enabled Devices

Your most recently connected phone will disconnect or connect back automatically when it exits or enters the range of your vehicle. If you wish to disconnect the current device and connect to a different paired device:

Press EDIT on the Pilot Panel DEVICES screen.
Press the DISCONNECT button next to the device to be disconnected.
Press DONE when you have finished disconnecting any unwanted devices.
Tap the name of the device to be connected under KNOWN DEVICES.

You can alternately use the Right Cockpit Panel. Press the icon in the status bar to open its menu.

From this menu, you can:

Toggle Bluetooth on/off
View the currently connected devices.
Connect or disconnect devices.
Press Settings to open that screen on the Pilot Panel.

Editing Bluetooth Enabled Device Preferences

To edit device preferences:

Select the phone or audio icon next to any device on the Pilot Panel Devices screen to connect or disconnect it for that functionality. These changes will automatically be saved as your preference. Message and contact syncing preferences can also be changed for any device. See Syncing Contacts and Messages for more information.

If you no longer wish to use a device with the vehicle:

On the Pilot Panel Bluetooth screen, select EDIT next to Known Devices to reveal more options for each Known device.
Press the FORGET button next to any device you wish to remove.
Press Done when you have finished unpairing any unwanted devices.
