How do I connect my phone to my car or truck?

Depending on the make and model of your vehicle, there are several ways to connect your phone to your car or truck.

1. If your car or truck features Bluetooth® connectivity, you can connect your phone to your vehicle through a process called pairing. Before you begin the pairing process, we recommend having your vehicle's owner manual on hand as a reference. Vehicle manufacturers support a wide variety of multimedia systems that function in different ways. If you no longer have your owner's manual, or need additional assistance pairing your vehicle to your phone, please click the link for your vehicle manufacturer's website. If your vehicle manufacturer is not listed, you can search for the manufacturer's website online.

     To begin the pairing process, follow these steps:
     
     
     1. Sit in your vehicle with the engine running and the multimedia system on.
     2. Follow the instructions in your owner's manual, or the multimedia system's user guide, to turn on Bluetooth and allow the system to be discoverable.
     3. From the main screen, slide the screen up.
     4. Locate and tap the "Settings" icon.
     5. Tap "Connected devices."
     6. Tap "Pair new device."
     7. Tap the name of the desired Bluetooth device and wait for the devices to pair. When prompted to pair your device, tap "Pair." If a PIN number is requested, refer to your device's user guide (a commonly used PIN is 0000). Enter the PIN and tap "OK." If necessary, tap "Allow."
        
        

2. If your car or truck does not support Bluetooth connectivity, you may still be able to use your stereo system to listen to the music stored on your phone. If your vehicle features a USB auxiliary input (similar in appearance to the USB ports on your computer), you can use a USB to USB Type-C cable. Plug the USB end of the cable into the USB port, then plug the USB Type-C end of the cable into the USB Type-C charging port on your phone.

3. If your car or truck does not feature a USB auxiliary input, look for a 3.5mm auxiliary input (similar in appearance to a headphone jack). If your vehicle features this type of input, you will need a USB Type-C to 3.5mm cable to connect your phone to the stereo. Connect the USB Type-C end of the cable to the USB Type-C charging port on your phone. Then, plug the 3.5mm end of the cable into your stereo's auxiliary input.

   • Please note that you may need to change your stereo input to "AUX" or "Line In" before the music can be heard through your vehicle speakers.
