Does the 2012 Buick Excelle GT have Bluetooth?
2 Answers
The 2012 Buick Excelle GT base and mid-range models do not have Bluetooth, only the high-end luxury version comes with Bluetooth. The functions of car Bluetooth are as follows: Eliminates background noise and echo: Car Bluetooth uses advanced digital signal processors and voice devices, suitable for any harsh environment, eliminating background noise and echo, allowing both parties to enjoy high-quality call effects. Automatic mobile phone recognition: It can connect to the phone without cables or phone holders, allowing users to operate the phone without touching it, even keeping both hands on the steering wheel. It can basically adjust the phone, use voice commands to answer or make calls, and users can conduct calls through the car's audio system. Pairing with phone Bluetooth: Car Bluetooth can pair with the phone's Bluetooth to establish a wireless connection for playing music.
I've been driving a 2012 Buick Excelle GT top trim 1.8L for seven years, and this car indeed comes with factory Bluetooth calling functionality. It automatically connects to my phone every time I get in the car. There's a phone button on the left side of the steering wheel - just press it to activate voice dialing. However, playing music is a bit troublesome as I need to manually switch to Bluetooth audio mode, and the sound quality isn't as good as USB direct connection. Lower trim models might have this feature removed, so I recommend checking the electronic version of the vehicle manual to confirm. Nowadays, adding an aftermarket module is quite affordable - just 200 RMB can make an older car support wireless CarPlay, which works even better than the factory system.
