Playing Bluetooth^® Audio

Your audio system allows you to listen to music from your Bluetooth-compatible phone.
This function is available when the phone is paired and connected to the vehicle’s Bluetooth^® HandsFreeLink^® (HFL) system.

Detail

Not all Bluetooth-enabled phones with streaming audio capabilities are compatible with the system.
For a list of compatible phones:

If a phone is currently connected via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, Bluetooth^® Audio from that phone is unavailable.

Switching to another mode pauses the music playing from your phone.
