Does the 2012 Honda CR-V not come with Bluetooth functionality?

2012 Honda CR-V comes with Bluetooth functionality. Below is a relevant introduction about car Bluetooth: 1. Function: The main function is to connect with a mobile phone via Bluetooth technology for hands-free calls during normal driving, aiming to free both hands and reduce the risk of traffic accidents. It automatically identifies mobile phones and can connect with them without the need for cables or phone holders. 2. Bluetooth Technology: Bluetooth technology is an open global standard for wireless data and voice communication. Its essence is to establish a common radio air interface for communication environments between fixed or mobile devices, further integrating communication technology with computer technology, enabling various 3C devices to communicate or operate with each other within a short range without the need for wires or cables.
My 2012 CRV is the 2.4L 4WD Luxury trim, which indeed came with factory-installed Bluetooth calling functionality. However, it only supports phone calls and cannot stream music from mobile devices. When purchasing the car, the salesperson mentioned that the base 2.0L 2WD version might not include this feature. I find the hands-free calling quite convenient during drives - there's a phone icon button on the left side of the steering wheel that activates it with a single press. Later, I discovered a trick: if you navigate to the 'Phone' option in the infotainment system's settings menu and see a Bluetooth pairing interface, it confirms the feature's presence. For those without this function, don't worry - aftermarket Bluetooth modules now cost just 200-300 RMB, offering significantly better audio quality than direct AUX cable connections.
