Pairing a smartphone

You can initiate a Bluetooth pairing request from the QNX CAR platform or a smartphone.

To pair a smartphone with the car's Bluetooth system:
  1. Say the command "Launch Settings".
    Note: For information about how to use the ASR service to issue voice commands, see "Automatic Speech Recognition".

    Instead of using ASR, you can access the Settings app via touchscreen commands:

    On the taskbar, tap Apps Section > ALL > Settings.

  2. In the Settings app display, tap Bluetooth Connectivity.

    The HMI displays the following:

  3. Tap ADD NEW DEVICE.
  4. Initiate the pairing request.
    You can initiate pairing from either the HMI or the smartphone.
    • To pair from the HMI:
      1. Ensure the Bluetooth device you want to pair with has its "discoverable" setting enabled.
      2. On the ADD NEW DEVICE screen, tap SEARCH to find new devices.

        All compatible devices found will be listed in the HMI.

      3. In the Found Devices list, tap the entry for the device you want to pair with.

        The first time you connect to a device, the system sends the device a six-digit passkey and then displays this passkey in the Accept Passkey dialog box. Make sure the passkey shown in the pairing request on your device matches what's shown in the HMI. If so, confirm the matching at both ends.

        For all connection attempts, the Bluetooth Connectivity feature shows a message telling you the device is connected.

    • To pair from the phone:
      1. On the ADD NEW DEVICE screen, tap LISTEN to listen for new devices.

        As the Bluetooth system listens for pairing requests, the HMI shows the time remaining for receiving requests.

      2. On the phone, search for Bluetooth devices and find the QNX CAR system.
      3. Send the pairing request from the phone.

        The first time you connect from a device, the HMI displays the six-digit passkey sent from the device in the Access Passkey dialog box. Make sure the passkey shown in the pairing request in the HMI matches what's shown on the device. If so, confirm the matching at both ends.

        For all connection attempts, you must confirm the pairing request in the Bluetooth Connectivity feature. The device and the QNX CAR Bluetooth system are then fully connected.

All Bluetooth communication services—Email Messages, Text Messages, Address Book, and Dial Pad—are enabled and the relevant data is synchronized from the device when it's paired. For example, the senders, subject lines, and contents of emails stored on the device are uploaded and shown in the HMI.
