STREAMING AUDIO

(models with navigation system)

Your INFINITI is equipped with Bluetooth

Streaming Audio. If you have a compatible
Bluetooth

device with streaming audio

(A2DP profile), you can set up the wireless
connection between your Bluetooth

de-

vice and the in-vehicle audio system. This
connection allows you to listen to the
audio from the Bluetooth

device using

your vehicle speakers. It also may allow
basic control of the device for playing and
skipping audio files using the AVRCP
Bluetooth profile. All Bluetooth

Devices

do not have the same level of controls for
AVRCP. Please consult the manual for your
Bluetooth

Device for more details.

Once your Bluetooth

device is connected

to the in-vehicle audio system, it will
automatically reconnect whenever the de-
vice is present in the vehicle and you select
Bluetooth

Audio from your audio system.

You do not need to manually reconnect for
each usage.

Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Bluetooth

functions share the same frequency band
(2.4 GHz). Using the Bluetooth

and the

wireless LAN functions at the same time
may slow down or disconnect the commu-

nication and cause undesired noise. It is
recommended that you turn off the wire-
less LAN (Wi-Fi) when using the Bluetooth

functions.
