Discovering Bluetooth Device(s)Follow the steps below to discover Bluetooth devices. The vehicle computer can receive information from
discovered devices, without bonding. However, once bonded, an exchange of information between the vehicle
computer and a bonded device occurs automatically when the Bluetooth radio is turned on.
To find Bluetooth devices in the area:
1. Ensure that the Bluetooth device being looked for is in discoverable mode.
2. Ensure that the two devices are within 30 feet (10 meters) of one another.
3. Tap > Show BTExplorer. The BTExplorer window appears.
