Bluetooth

Compatibility
You can use various Bluetooth devices in
Model Y provided it is paired and within
operating range. For example, you can pair
your Bluetooth-capable phone so you can use
it hands-free. In addition to phones, you can
pair other Bluetooth-enabled devices with
Model Y. For example, you can pair an
iPod Touch, iPad, Android tablet, etc. from
which you can play music.
Before using your phone or other Bluetooth device with
Model Y, you must pair it. Pairing sets up Model Y to
communicate with supported Bluetooth-capable devices.
You can pair up to ten Bluetooth phones. Unless you've
specified a specific phone as a
Priority Device, or if the phone
specified as Priority Device is not within range, Model Y
always connects to the last phone that was used (provided it
is within range). To connect to a different phone, see
Switching Between Paired Devices on page 60.
NOTE: Authenticating your phone to use as a key (see Keys
on page 21) does not allow you to use the phone hands-free,
play media from it, etc. You must also pair it as described
below.
NOTE: On many phones, Bluetooth turns off if the phone’s
battery is low.
NOTE: Although Bluetooth typically supports wireless
communication over distances of up to approximately
nine meters, performance can vary based on the phone, or
other device, you are using.
NOTE: Model Y can pair up to twenty Bluetooth devices at a
time but only allows two devices to connect simultaneously
(such as one phone and one controller or two controllers) to
each front and rear touchscreen (if equipped).
CAUTION: Do not leave your paired phone in your
vehicle (for example, if you are hiking or at the beach).
If you must leave your phone in the vehicle, disable
Bluetooth and/or turn the phone off.
Pairing a Phone or Bluetooth Device
Pairing allows you to use your Bluetooth-capable phone
hands-free to make and receive phone calls, access your
contact list, recent calls, etc. It also allows you to play media
files from your phone. Once a phone is paired,
Model Y can
connect to it whenever the phone is within range.
1.
To pair a phone or a Bluetooth device, sit inside Model Y
and ensure the touchscreen is on.
2.
Unlock your phone and enable Bluetooth (typically in
Settings on your phone).
NOTE: On some phones, this may require you to go to
Bluetooth Settings for the remainder of the procedure.
3.
On the touchscreen, touch Controls > Bluetooth to
automatically start Bluetooth scanning for new devices.
4.
Wait for your phone to be listed and touch
Connect.
5. Check that the number displayed on your phone matches
the number on the touchscreen. Then, on your phone,
confirm that you want to pair.
6.
If prompted on your phone, specify whether you want to
allow
Model Y to access your personal information, such
as calendar, contacts and media files (see Importing
Contacts and Recent Calls on page 59). When paired,
Model Y lists your phone under Controls > Bluetooth >
Paired Devices.
To change the settings of a paired device, go to Controls >
Bluetooth > Paired Devices and expand the dropdown next to
the device's name.
If you are experiencing issues importing or connecting to
Bluetooth, see Troubleshooting Bluetooth on page 60 for
more information.
You can toggle Reduce Fan Speed During Calls so the fan
speed automatically lowers when you are on a call. Auto must
be enabled in your climate controls (see Operating Climate
Controls on page 133.
Importing Contacts and Recent Calls
Once a phone is paired, go to Controls > Bluetooth > Paired
Devices and expand the dropdown next to the device's name
to specify whether you want to allow access to your phone’s
contacts, recent calls and text messages. If you allow access,
you can use the phone app to make calls and send messages
to people in your list of contacts and on your recent calls list
(see
Phone, Calendar, and Web Conferencing on page 61).
Before contacts can be imported, you may need to either set
your phone to allow syncing, or respond to a popup on your
phone to confirm that you want to sync contacts. This varies
depending on the type of phone you are using. For details,
refer to the documentation provided with your phone.
If you are having trouble importing contacts or pairing with
Bluetooth, see Troubleshooting Bluetooth on page 60 for
more information.
Disconnecting or Unpairing a Bluetooth
Device
If you want to disconnect your phone or Bluetooth device,
but keep it paired, touch Disconnect in your phone's
Bluetooth settings dropdown on the touchscreen (
Controls >
Bluetooth > Paired Devices > Your phone). If you no longer
want to use your device with Model Y, touch Forget Device
and follow the instructions. Once you forget a device, you
must pair it again if you want to use it with
Model Y (see
Pairing a Phone or Bluetooth Device on page 59).
NOTE: Your phone automatically disconnects when you leave
Model Y.
NOTE: Unpairing the phone has no effect on using the phone
as a key. To forget an authenticated phone, see Managing
Keys on page 23.
