Bluetooth connectivity in the car allows you to wirelessly integrate your mobile device with your car's audio system. Once paired, you can use your mobile phone to control music playback, including skipping tracks and adjusting the volume.

Before you connect your device to your car via Bluetooth, you should ensure that both devices are set as discoverable. In most cases, devices are set as discoverable by default when Bluetooth is turned on. If you cannot find your device, you may need to access the detailed Bluetooth settings to set your device as discoverable. Usually, you can find the detailed Bluetooth settings in the "Settings" section.

2. When I pair my phone with the car system, why should I enter the passkey?

Certain devices need a pairing password to connect via Bluetooth. For instance, when device A attempts to connect with device B, a prompt will appear on device B to ask for the passkey. Just enter the correct passkey to complete the pairing process. The passkey is usually "1234," "1111," and other simple passkeys.
