Connect with Bluetooth
When using Bluetooth to connect Car Thing to the car’s media
system, you first need to establish a connection by pairing the
devices to each other. You can do this either from Car Thing
or from the car’s media system.
After you’ve paired them they will connect automatically every
time you use Car Thing in the car.
Before pairing
Ensure the following:
●
Car Thing is not already paired to another Bluetooth
device. In that case you should make Car Thing forget
that device first, for more information go to Forget
device .
●
The car’s media system is not already connected to
the maximum amount of Bluetooth devices (this
amount can be one or more units depending on the
car). If it is you should make the car’s media system
forget another Bluetooth device before pairing to Car
Thing. If you don’t do this first the car’s media system
might decide itself which Bluetooth device to forget, or
it won’t be able to pair to Car Thing at all.
●
Car Thing isn’t already connected to the car’s media
system via the aux cable. Car Thing can be connected
via both aux and Bluetooth at the same time, but the
music will then be played via the aux connection. If
you want to use the Bluetooth connection instead you
need to disconnect the aux cable from both Car Thing
and the car’s media system.
●
Car Thing is within 3 feet (91 cm) from the car stereo.
●
The ignition in the car is turned on.
●
The car stereo is turned on.
Need more information? Refer to the car’s user manual for
information on how to activate and pair Bluetooth on that
car’s media system.
Phone calls
If your phone is also paired to the car with Bluetooth you can
still take and make calls when Car Thing is paired (provided
the car’s media system can be paired to more than one
Bluetooth unit).
Connection problems
If your car’s media system isn’t automatically connecting to
Car Thing try the following:
●
Restart Car Thing.
○
Go to Restart for more info about how to do
this.
●
Restart the car.
If these solutions don’t work you probably need to pair Car
Thing and the car’s media system to each other again.
Note: If you’ve recently paired Car Thing or the car to a new
Bluetooth device that might have caused this pairing to be
forgotten.
