Connection methods for playing audio from your phone
Connecting your phone to your car lets you listen to music through the car's stereo system. Other audio like
phone calls, GPS, or apps will also play. When they're connected, you can control your phone's sound using the
stereo. However, if you want to make a call or use GPS, you may need to use your phone instead.
There are several ways you can connect your phone; please perform these steps while the car is parked.
USB: Connect a compatible USB cable to your phone, and then connect the other end to the USB port on
•
your stereo.
Note: Depending on the stereo system, you may not be able to access media files stored on your phone.
Refer to the car manufacturer's user manual for more instructions.
Auxiliary: Connect the AUX cable directly to the headphone jack on your phone. If your phone does not
•
have a headphone jack, connect

connect the other end of the cable to the AUX IN port on your car stereo.
Bluetooth: When your car is turned on, enable pairing mode on your stereo. You may need to refer to the
•
manual that came with your car. Next, navigate to Settings on your phone, tap Connections, and then tap
the switch next to Bluetooth to turn it on. Once the phone detects your car, select the car from the
Available devices list. If prompted, confirm the pairing code displayed on the phone.
Note: Some Bluetooth functions may vary. Phone calls and music playback may not be supported or may
be limited.
Cassette player: If your car has a cassette player, you can use a cassette adapter to connect your phone.

Insert the cassette end into the slot on the stereo, and then connect the other end (that looks like an
auxiliary cable) to your phone. If your phone does not have a headphone jack, connect a
adapter

instead.
After you connect the phone to your car, be sure to change the stereo to the correct source based on your
preferred method. Otherwise, you will not hear sound from your phone through your car speakers.
