HOW TO GET THERE:
USING YOUR FACTORY SYSTEMS
uConnect Phone
If you installed a Kenwood radio with Bluetooth and you have uConnect, there will be two
hands-free phone systems installed in the vehicle at the same time. Only one hands-free
phone system can be used to make phone calls.
Instructions for installing and setting up the selected hands-free phone are included in the
installation guide of this solution. However, it is important to read and understand this section
to prevent actions that will cause your system to malfunction.
If you choose to use uConnect for phone calls, your phone must be paired to the uConnect
system. A setting in the radio will disable the hands free phone portion of the Kenwood
Bluetooth system. You may then pair your phone with the Kenwood Bluetooth, but only for
audio streaming.
Once a phone is paired with both Bluetooth systems, it is possible to use either the Kenwood
radio or uConnect for Bluetooth streaming, but only uConnect can be used for hands-free
calls. The uConnect Phone button will open the phone interface.
USING YOUR
FACTORY
SYSTEMS (Continued)
If you choose to use the Kenwood Bluetooth for phone calls, it is important to delete all
pairings to uConnect from your phone. This will prevent your phone from pairing with both
systems at the same time and creating a confl ict.
In addition, the uConnect BT and uConnect Phone icons will be unavailable, but it will remain
possible to access the uConnect USB source. It is important to not pair any phones new with
uConnect as long as the Kenwood radio is being used for phone calls. In addition, the phone
button on the steering wheel (if equipped) should be re-assigned to control the Kenwood
calling functions. The Kenwood provided microphone will be used for phone calls.
For more information about how to operate uConnect, consult the documentation that came
with your vehicle.
The uConnect Phone system is almost
entirely voice-command driven and most of
the visual items in this screen are disabled.
Pressing the microphone button will initiate
a voice recognition event for making phone
calls, fi nding addresses, and managing
paired devices.
