Does the Volkswagen Lavida have Bluetooth?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Lavida is equipped with Bluetooth. The car's Bluetooth is located on the multimedia display screen of the center console. After turning on the power switch of the display screen, press the SETUP button on the right side of the panel and click on 'Match New Device' to proceed. To connect Bluetooth, first enable Bluetooth on your mobile phone, then match it with the car's Bluetooth signal. Once successfully connected, you can use functions such as Bluetooth calls and music. The Lavida is an A-segment car independently developed by Shanghai Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4605mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. The car's navigation system combines touch screen and rotary knob controls and includes MP3 playback capability.
My 2018 Lavida Comfort trim indeed came with factory-installed Bluetooth, which I use daily for hands-free calls and music streaming – it works flawlessly. Heads-up though: VW Lavida's configurations vary significantly. For instance, the base 2015 manual transmission models only had a radio unit without Bluetooth. While newer models mostly include it as standard, always verify when buying used cars by asking the seller to demonstrate – check if there's 'Phone' or 'Media' pairing options in the infotainment menu. If unavailable, don't worry. A $30-40 Android head unit with CarPlay support (offering more features than OEM systems) easily solves this.
