Does the 2012 Hyundai ix35 have Bluetooth? The 2012 Hyundai ix35 is equipped with Bluetooth. Here is some information about the Hyundai ix35: 1. Engine: It offers two engine options, a 2.0L and a 2.4L, both of which are the new Theta II dual CVVT all-aluminum four-cylinder gasoline engines. 2. Performance: The 2.0L engine has a maximum output power of 120kW and a maximum torque of 194Nm at 4600rpm; the 2.4L engine has a maximum output power of 128kW and a maximum torque of 226Nm at 4000rpm.
I remember driving a 2012 Hyundai ix35 a few years ago. To be honest, Bluetooth wasn't standard, but it depends on the specific model and configuration. Higher trim levels like the luxury version might come with built-in Bluetooth, which is quite convenient for connecting your phone to play music or take calls. I'd suggest starting the car first and checking the infotainment screen settings to see if there's a Bluetooth pairing option, or look for a phone icon button on the steering wheel. If you don't find these, chances are it doesn't have factory-installed Bluetooth. Don't worry though, there are various Bluetooth adapters available on the market that plug into the cigarette lighter—just a few dozen bucks and you're set, with decent sound quality too. Upgrading your car's tech can really enhance the driving experience, especially when you need some music to stay alert during night drives.
As someone with experience in repairing many Hyundai vehicles, the 2012 ix35's Bluetooth often depends on the option package, and the base model mostly doesn't have it installed. I recommend carefully checking the owner's manual or the configuration code on the car key to confirm. If the factory multimedia system lacks Bluetooth functionality, current transmission might be normal, but the interfaces are limited. Owners can install a third-party Bluetooth module, simply connecting it from the OBDII port, and avoid disassembling randomly to prevent issues. During regular maintenance, take the opportunity to check circuit safety, especially not overlooking aging wiring in older cars—safety comes first.
