Step 2 Set up your Infotainment system in your car

Navigate through the infotainment system. Generally, you can find the Bluetooth settings in your car by going to Menu > Settings > Bluetooth. You can then choose something like Add New Device to pair your phone. If you are unable to find the button, you may need to read through the owner's manual.
