Bluetooth: Pairing Devices, Calling, and Messaging

The QNX CAR platform supports two-way Bluetooth discovery for device pairing.

Overview

When the device is paired, you can use the Communication screen to access the smartphone's email or text messages, view contact information, and make phone calls.

Note: Bluetooth is not supported on the i.MX6q platform.
