How to pair your Bluetooth smartphone

Related parts, products, services or technology: A smartphone with Bluetooth connectivity

If your vehicle is equipped with available Bluetooth®,* it allows you to make and receive calls and use many of your phone’s features through the vehicle’s infotainment system.*

Here are the instructions for pairing your smartphone to a GM vehicle.

Using the infotainment touchscreen

Using voice recognition

Note: Be sure you have downloaded the latest software version for your phone. If you have updated your phone and are experiencing issues, try deleting and then reconnecting your phone to the vehicle.

Using the infotainment touchscreen

1. Turn on the vehicle and keep it in Park.

2. Touch the Phone icon on your vehicle’s touchscreen.

3. Look for an option on the screen to add or connect a new phone. It may say “Add Phone,” “Pair Device,” “Connect Phone” or “+.”

4. Go to your phone’s Bluetooth settings, turn Bluetooth on and select your vehicle from the list of options.

5. Confirm the code shown on the phone matches the code on the infotainment touchscreen.

6. Touch Pair on the infotainment touchscreen. You may also have to accept the pairing on your device.

7. If prompted, agree (or disagree) to allow the infotainment system to access your phone’s contacts and messages.

Note: If you disagree, your contacts and messages will not be downloaded. In this case, you will be able to make calls after pairing by saying a phone number but will not be able to use a contact’s name to make a call.

8. When the pairing is complete, the infotainment screen will show your phone as available for making and receiving calls. 

Using voice recognition

Turn on the vehicle and keep it in Park.

1. With a short press, select the Push-to-Talk button. After the tone, say “Pair Phone.”

2. Follow the instructions.

3. When the pairing is complete, the infotainment screen will show your phone as available for making and receiving calls.

To pair another device, simply follow the above instructions again.

Troubleshooting Bluetooth calling issues

If your vehicle is equipped and your phone is connected through available Bluetooth®* and you are having issues with the phone disconnecting, calls breaking up or calls sounding distorted, here are some possible solutions. 

Symptoms / troubleshooting steps

Do this first

My phone still disconnects

Calls break up or sound distorted

Call volume is too high or too low

Do this first

Sometimes, you may have trouble with Bluetooth because your phone’s software is out of date. So, if you’ve already checked if your phone is compatible using the Bluetooth Device Compatibility Guide, the next step is to make sure you have the latest software version updated on your phone. 

Still having issues? Try deleting and reconnecting your phone to the vehicle.

My phone still disconnects

If your phone still disconnects, your cellular signal may not be strong enough. See if the problem persists when your signal is stronger.  

Also, if you are on a call when the engine is off, the vehicle may time out of accessory mode to save the battery. When this happens, the connection between your phone and the vehicle will disconnect and the call will be transferred back to your phone. 

Calls break up or sound distorted

Here are some possible causes and remedies:  

Your cellular signal may not be strong enough. See if the issue persists when your signal is stronger.

Your phone may also be paired to other devices in the vehicle. Try disconnecting the other devices and see if the issue persists.

Your phone may be running other Bluetooth activity in the background (e.g., searching the contact list or downloading a message). The issue should stop when the Bluetooth activity stops.

Other Bluetooth activity running in the background on your phone, such as searching the phone book, downloading a message or having certain apps open and in the foreground (e.g., the Amazon app).
