How to Connect Bluetooth VW Passat and Touareg
Our lifestyles have increasingly become more and more busy. You are not the only one talking on the telephone while driving, as it helps us better make use of our driving time. That said, handling your phone while driving is dangerous and in many places, it is illegal. Fortunately, many Volkswagen models are equipped with Bluetooth technology allowing you to connect your phone to your car wirelessly. Make calls, answer calls and listen to the music on your mobile phone all through your cars stereo system and microphone with the wireless bluetooth technology. There are two main ways to connect your phone to your VW. Active and Passive connections are available depending on your phone model.
Active connections - initiated by your Volkswagen radio system.
- Set Bluetooth to “On” in your Phone Settings and make phone “Discoverable” or “Visible” by other devices. (Typically it makes your phone available to be discovered for a minute)
- Turn on electrical system to car or start car
- Turn Radio System power to “On” (only necessary if radio is off)
- To active Bluetooth pairing, touch “Phone Button” on left side of VW steering wheel
- Using steering wheel “Selection Buttons” on right hand side of steering wheel, select “Phone Search”
- When Phone is discovered, you’ll see it displayed under "Device List".
- Navigate to your phone name or model using right hand steering wheel buttons and select your phone.
- Enter PIN number displayed into your mobile phone. Typically, you’ll check notifications within your phone to find the “VW would like to connect to your Phone” or something of the sort. Once selected, you’ll be prompted to input your passcode. (often 0000 or 1234 etc…) Be sure to confirm passcode on both devices.
