Bluetooth connections are managed directly by your phone’s operating system and your vehicle’s infotainment system, which means connection issues are often related to the device pairing itself.
If you’re running into trouble, try re-establishing the connection from scratch:
1. Remove the existing Bluetooth pairing
-
On your phone: Go to Settings > Bluetooth, find your vehicle, and select Forget This Device
-
On your vehicle: Locate your phone in the Bluetooth settings and remove/delete it
2. Restart both devices
-
Power your phone off and back on
-
Turn your vehicle off, open and close the driver’s door, and wait a minute before restarting (this helps fully reset the system)
3. Re-pair your phone to your vehicle
-
Enable Bluetooth on your phone
-
Follow your vehicle’s instructions (owner’s manual if needed) to pair a new device
-
Select your vehicle from the available devices on your phone and confirm the pairing code
4. Test playback
If you continue to have trouble after re-pairing, it may also help to check for any available software updates for your phone or vehicle, as Bluetooth performance is handled at the system level.
Use your mobile device only when conditions allow and as permitted by applicable law.
