Help! How do I pair my phone?

Dear Jarrett,
How do I pair my phone to my vehicle bluetooth system?

Sincerely-

“Hello can you hear me?” I’m in Alberta dreaming about who we used to be…

ANSWER:

Press and hold (phone answer) for two seconds. You should hear “Ready” followed by a tone. Say “Bluetooth.” You should hear “Bluetooth ready” followed by a tone. (Most model year 2014 vehicles can skip this step and you can just say “pair phone” as your first command). Say “Pair.” You should hear “Please start a search on your Bluetooth phone” and a four-six digit PIN number. Depending on the phone, you may have to press “scan for new devices”, and/or “make this device visible to other Bluetooth capable devices” before it will be discovered. The PIN number will be used in the next step. Start the Pairing process on the cell phone that will be paired to the vehicle. Locate the device named “General Motors”. Select that device for pairing and enter the PIN number that was provided in the previous step. (Some smart phones may perform this step for you, and you will only need to press “Pair”) Reference the cell phone manufacturer’s user guide for further information on this process. For phone-specific instructions and compatibility information go to: http://www.gmtotalconnect.ca The system may prompt for a name for the phone. Use a name that best describes the phone so you will recognize it in the future, i.e. “Mike’s phone”. The system then confirms the name provided. You should hear confirmation feedback, i.e., “Mike’s phone has been successfully paired” after the pairing process is complete. Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for up to five phones to be paired. (Up to ten devices may be paired on later model 2014 vehicles).
