moving.

•

Up to six phones can be paired.

•

Your phone’s battery may drain faster when it is 
paired to the system.

•

If your phone is not ready for pairing or not found 
by the system within three minutes, the system will 
time out and return to idle.

Once you have paired a phone, you can see it 
displayed on the screen with one or two icons on the 
right side.
These icons indicate the following:

If there is an active connection to Apple CarPlay or 
Android Auto, pairing of additional Bluetooth 
compatible devices is unavailable and Add
