Get Infotainment system overview Guide for Volkswagen California Van Fourth Generation (2024-2025)

Bluetooth profile.

Starting Bluetooth audio transmission

1. Reduce the volume on the Infotainment system.

2. Switch on Bluetooth visibility on the external Bluetooth audio source, e.g. mobile telephone.

3. Press MEDIA.

4. If necessary, start playback on the Bluetooth audio source manually.

When playback on the Bluetooth audio source is stopped, the Infotainment system remains in Bluetooth audio mode.

Controlling playback

The extent to which the Bluetooth audio source can be controlled via the Infotainment system varies depending on

what Bluetooth audio source is connected.

With media players that support theAVRCP

Bluetooth profile, playback on the Bluetooth audio source can be automatically started or stopped when the unit is

switched to Bluetooth audio mode or to a different audio source. Depending on the Bluetooth audio source, it may

also be possible to display the track and change the track using the Infotainment system.

Due to the large number of possible Bluetooth audio sources, it is not possible to guarantee fault-free

operation of all described functions for all sources. The Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles website contains a

list of compatible mobile telephones.

Always switch off the warning and service tones on a connected Bluetooth audio source, e.g. key tones on a

mobile telephone, to prevent interference noise and malfunctions.

With some units, the Bluetooth audio connection will be disconnected automatically if an external media

player is connected to the Infotainment system via Bluetooth and the USB

port

simultaneously.
