How to Sync a Cell Phone With a Car Radio


1. Scroll through the menu on your cellphone and locate 'settings'. Select 'bluetooth' from the settings menu. Turn on the bluetooth function on your phone. You should see the bluetooth symbol displayed on your main screen, which is blue with two white sideways triangles and a sideways 'V'.
2. Depress the phone button on your car radio console to activate the phone feature. The car will notify you that no phone is connected and then ask if the radio can attempt to locate a phone. Press 'yes' or 'send' to locate your cell phone. The car radio will locate your phone and then offer a PIN number.
3. Select the 'devices' option under your bluetooth menu on your phone. Highlight the 'sync' device and select 'OK'. Input the pin number provided as a security measure. Your phone is now synced with your car and available for hands-free calling.
4. Choose 'yes' when the radio asks if you want to set this as your primary phone, unless you have already paired other phones that you intend to continue to use. The radio will prompt you to download your phone book. Select yes to allow for making phone calls using the names on your phone book rather than supplying the actual phone number.
5. Push the phone button on your radio console to initiate a phone call. When prompted by the radio, speak 'call' followed by a name exactly as it appears on your cell's phone book. Or to dial a number say 'dial' followed by the number you want to call including the area code. Make sure to speak slowly and over-enunciate to improve your accuracy with voice commands.
