See the device's operating instructions for further information. The vehicle's name is displayed as the default discoverable name.

9. When the vehicle's discoverable name is discovered, follow the on-screen instructions. Select Yes, when prompted, to confirm the pairing. On some media devices, this completes the pairing. Alternatively, on other media devices, the vehicle's system displays a PIN. When prompted, either enter the PIN on the device, or select Yes to confirm that the PIN displayed matches the vehicle's PIN.

Note: If, when playing media through a Bluetooth wireless connected Apple device, the device is then also connected to a USB port, the Bluetooth wireless connection is disabled. To reconnect via Bluetooth wireless, the USB connection needs to be disconnected and the Apple device reconnected via the connectivity screen.

Note: Apple devices containing a large quantity of media can take a considerable amount of time to synchronize. During this time, playback can only be accessed from the Apple device's media player and not via voice commands.

Note: After the Apple device has been synced with the media system, the device can then be controlled via the media system or operated by the voice system.

If the Apple device's track list is updated after the device was previously synced, the device needs to be re-synced to the media system. During this time, the Apple device's voice commands become temporarily unavailable.

Further information on Bluetooth wireless technology can be found in the relevant section of the Owner's Handbook.
