Depending on the mobile phone, certain
settings may be necessary on the mobile
phone, e.g. via the following menu items:

Bluetooth switched on

Connection must be allowed without
requiring further confirmation

Reconnection

Depending on the mobile phone type, the
power-saving mode setting, for example,
may result in a paired mobile phone not
being detected by the vehicle.

For pairing purposes, define any 4 to 16-

e.g. 25081107. A long and complex number

The ignition is switched on.

Pair the mobile phone with the vehicle

Switch on ignition
