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...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds. The concept’s real party piece, though, is its interior, which features exclusively touch, gesture, and voice controls. Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...
