Pairing a Compatible Phone

1. 

Be sure to check your phone’s compatibility at  

www.knowyourvw.com/bluetooth

.

2. 

With the ignition on and the vehicle in Park, turn the 

Infotainment system on. Your vehicle’s Bluetooth system  

will be in “discovery” mode.

3. 

From the Bluetooth menu on your phone, search for new 

devices and select MY VW XXXX (last four digits of VIN).

4. 

A connection request will appear on the Infotainment display.

5. 

Press 

Yes

 on the Infotainment display if the PIN matches the  

PIN displayed on your phone.

6. 

If the PIN does match, press either 

Pair

 or 

OK

, depending on which option your 

phone displays.

7. 

Allow contacts to sync when prompted.

Note: If your phone displays a prompt asking to connect to your vehicle, make sure to enable future automatic connections. This 
will help to automatically reconnect the compatible paired device to the system. Once the PIN is shown, pairing must be completed 
within 30 seconds; otherwise, the process will need to be repeated.

Primary and Secondary Phone Functionality

Two active phones can be connected simultaneously. Follow steps 1-7 above. Only 

contacts from the primary phone will be shown within the Infotainment system. 

Switching between phones requires tapping the phone name in the top right of the 

Phone screen in the infotainment system, then selecting the desired phone from the 

drop-down menu. 

Note: This feature is not available when the phone is connected to Apple CarPlay

 or Android Auto

.

Voice Recognition via Volkswagen Native 

Infotainment

Many functions of the ID.4—including the navigation, climate 

control, media and telephone—can be controlled using the  

built-in voice recognition system. Voice control can either be 

launched using the 

Talk

 button  

  on the multi-function 

steering wheel or by using the activation word, "Hello ID.", similar 

to how you would activate a digital assistant at home.
To enable activation with the activation word:

1. 

Tap Home     on the touchscreen and then select the  

settings icon  

 .

2. 

Tap 

Voice control

, then 

Activation word

To launch the voice control with the multifunction steering wheel button:

• 

 A short press of the 

Talk

 button  

  will launch the in-vehicle voice recognition. 

• 

A long press of the 

Talk

 button  

  will launch the digital assistant of a connected compatible mobile device.

A variety of voice prompts are available depending on which language has been set in the Infotainment system, and 

whether there is an active VW Car-Net account for the vehicle. For full details and a list of compatible languages, 

please refer to the Owner’s manual.
A list of example prompts can also be found in the Voice control settings.

Voice Recognition Tips

• 

The contact must be said exactly as it is stored in your phone’s contact list.

• 

If multiple numbers are stored per contact, you may use the shortcut “Call John Smith work”, or the system may 

ask you to choose, e.g., work, mobile, home, etc.

Answer an Incoming Call

The Bluetooth system will interrupt your car stereo with a 

ringtone. Press the 

OK

 button  

  on the multi-function 

steering wheel or the green 

Phone

 icon  

  on the 

Infotainment touchscreen to answer the call.

Volume Settings  

To adjust the volume of the Bluetooth system while on a  

call, press the 

Volume Up

 or 

Volume Down

  

  button  

on the right side of the multi-function steering wheel.
