Pairing a Bluetooth Phone On Tesla Model 3
Pairing allows you to make and receive phone calls, access your contact list, recent calls, and more using your Bluetooth-enabled phone hands-free. You can also use it to play media files stored on your phone. When a phone is linked, the Model 3 may connect to it whenever it is in range.
To pair a phone, follow these steps while you are inside Model 3:
- Make that the touchscreen and phone are both turned on.
- Enable Bluetooth on your phone and make sure it's discoverable.
- Note: On some phones, the rest of the procedure may require you to go to Bluetooth Settings.
- Press the Bluetooth icon on the touchscreen.
- Press 'Add New Device' > 'Start Search.' The touchscreen will show a list of Bluetooth devices within range.
- On the touchscreen, press the phone to pair with. After a couple of seconds, the touchscreen shows a randomly generated number, and the phone should display the identical number.
- Ensure the phone and touchscreen display matching numbers and then confirm the pairing on the phone.
- If your phone prompts you, choose whether or not you want Model 3 to have access to your contacts and media files.
When the phone is linked, the Model 3 connects immediately, and the touchscreen displays the Bluetooth icon next to the phone's name to show that the connection is active.
