Mobile phone interface  
Introduction  
Using the phone interface, you can connect your cell phone to the Infotainment system and control the phone functions via the Infotainment system. The sound is  
played back via the vehicle speakers.  
You can connect up to two cell phones to the Infotainment system at the same time. However, only one device is active at a time and can be used to make calls.  
The second connected device can receive calls via the Infotainment system and be used to play media.  
High speeds, poor weather and road conditions, a lot of background noise, even outside the vehicle, and the network quality can impair phone calls in the vehicle.  
The phone interface may contain an antenna amplifier that improves the reception quality of the cell phone.  
You generally only need to pair a device like a cell phone once. You can reestablish the device's connection to the Infotainment system at any time via  
Bluetooth or Wi-Fi without re-pairing your device.  
For a phone call via the hands-free system or at a high volume, a conversation may also be heard by third parties outside the vehicle.
