How to connect Bluetooth VW - Volkswagen Passat and Touareg

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.  
  1. 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)
  2. Turn on electrical system to car or start car
  3. Turn Radio System power to “On” (only necessary if radio is off)
  4. To active Bluetooth pairing, touch “Phone Button” on left side of VW steering wheel
  5. Using steering wheel “Selection Buttons” on right hand side of steering wheel, select “Phone Search”
  6. When Phone is discovered, you’ll see it displayed under "Device List".  
  7. Navigate to your phone name or model using right hand steering wheel buttons and select your phone.
  8. 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.
Passive connections - initiated by your phone

  1. 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)
  2. Turn on electrical system to car or start car
  3. Turn Radio System power to “On” (only necessary if radio is off)
  4. Press “Phone Button” on radio system
  5. Press “Setup Button”
  6. Select “Bluetooth Settings” on touchscreen
  7. Select “set BT visibility”
  8. Search for “Bluetooth audio accessories” on your phone
  9. Accept pairing request from VW Phone request
  10. Confirm pairing on your phone by entering the PIN provided in the touchscreen area into your phone system.  Confirm on both devices.

The entire process, regardless of which setup process you use, shouldn't take more than five minutes from start to finish. When you've done it before, you'll execute the entire process in less than three minutes. If you have any questions or concerns related to your VW Bluetooth connectivity, please feel free to contact Vorderman Volkswagen and ask to speak to one of our Master Certified VW Sales and Leasing Consultants.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
