Making a phone call

You can make a call on a paired smartphone from the HMI. The audio is routed through the device to the QNX CAR system. The dialing feature uses the Hands Free Profile (HFP).

Phone calls can be initiated by dialing (tapping) a number or by using voice commands.

To make a call on a Bluetooth device, do one of the following:

If you're using ASR, speak the phone number or the name of the contact you want to call (e.g. "Dial 613 591 0931" or "Call Angelina").
If you're not using ASR, do the following:
1. Tap the Dial Pad button in the Communication screen. Or from the menu at the top of this screen, tap the item named Dial Pad.
  
  You'll see the dial pad:
2. Dial the phone number by tapping its digits on the dial pad, then tap CALL.

The call is sent out from the paired device.

When the recipient answers, the output audio is routed through the device to the vehicle's speakers. The input audio is first captured with the same hardware that processes voice commands and is then sent out through the paired device.

Note: You can terminate the call at any time by tapping the Disconnect button.

Receiving or blocking calls

You can also receive or block calls from the HMI by using the Accept and Decline controls. To monitor incoming calls, you must be using the Dial Pad application. Incoming call dialogs will pop up only if the Dial Pad is the current, active application.
