Does the 2015 GL8 have Bluetooth?

The Buick GL8 model is equipped with Bluetooth functionality, and the method to enable Bluetooth is relatively simple. It can connect to a mobile phone's Bluetooth to play music and answer calls. Below are the relevant functions of car Bluetooth: Functions of Car Bluetooth: After successfully pairing the Bluetooth function, you can use your phone to play audio files and answer calls, which is very convenient. While driving, it ensures road safety. Once the car's infotainment system is connected to the Bluetooth system, you can make calls directly through the infotainment system in a hands-free manner. Auto-connect Feature: Once your phone and the car's system are connected, they will automatically reconnect upon subsequent use, provided the phone's Bluetooth is turned on. This eliminates the need for frequent manual connections, saving time and adding convenience to vehicle usage. However, when using Bluetooth calls, it's important to be mindful of privacy.

I've driven my friend's 2015 GL8 several times and specifically studied its Bluetooth feature. Actually, it depends on the specific trim level - the high-end Luxury and Executive trims come with built-in Bluetooth, making it convenient to connect your phone for music and calls, even featuring an answer button on the steering wheel. However, the base Classic trim might not have it, requiring you to install a navigation module or use an AUX cable instead. I encountered this situation when helping my family pick a used car - my advice is to directly press the 'Phone' button on the center console to test. If there's no response, the feature isn't available. While Bluetooth is practically standard now, you really need to check the spec sheet for cars from seven or eight years ago.

The 2015 GL8 comes in several versions, and Bluetooth functionality isn't standard across all models. I've driven the high-end version, and models with a color screen on the center console can generally connect via Bluetooth, with music automatically pausing during calls—pretty smart. The base single-screen models might not support it, requiring a wired connection or a head unit replacement. If you've bought a used one and aren't sure, check the manual in the glovebox or have a mechanic look up the VIN configuration. I also noticed a detail: Buick's system from that generation only supports calls—file transfers require a data cable. Nowadays, all new models come with Bluetooth as standard, but for older vehicles, adding a module costs around 300-400 yuan.

Drove a 15-year-old base model GL8, couldn't find the Bluetooth button, ended up using an AUX cable. The higher-trim models with touchscreen definitely have it - just remember to enable visibility on your phone during pairing, then select 'Add Device' in the vehicle menu. That generation of Buick's system had average connection stability, occasionally dropping during drives, but usually restored after restarting the phone. For frequent long-distance trips, a phone mount with Bluetooth headset might be more reliable.
