How to Connect Bluetooth for Music in Volkswagen Passat?
2 Answers
Enable the Bluetooth function on both your phone and the car's Bluetooth device. Set your phone's Bluetooth to "Visible to All", "Discoverable", or "Open for Detection" in the Bluetooth settings. Press the PHONE button on the Passat's Bluetooth interface, then select Pair. Open your phone's Bluetooth search and start scanning. When you see a name starting with "VW", click to pair and connect. Then open your phone's music player and start playing music.
A few days ago, I just helped my friend set up the Bluetooth connection for his Passat. After getting in the car, don’t rush to drive—first press the power button on the infotainment screen to start the system. Navigate to the Bluetooth settings option in the menu and open it. Then take out your phone, turn on the Bluetooth, and let it search for devices. The screen should display a name like ‘VW BT’—select it to pair. Enter the PIN, usually 0000 or 1234, and you’re done. Once paired, go to the media menu and select Bluetooth as the audio source. Then, simply open your music app and start playing songs. If it doesn’t connect, check if your phone’s OS is up to date—car software also needs regular updates. Bluetooth connections can be affected by the environment, so try parking in an area with minimal signal interference. I once experienced audio lag, but restarting the car’s system fixed it. Remember, don’t operate it while driving to avoid distractions.
