How to Connect Bluetooth in an Older Volkswagen Polo?
2 Answers
First, ensure that the vehicle's Bluetooth is turned on and that your phone's Bluetooth is set to visible. Under the phone's Bluetooth settings, click 'Search for New Devices' and then select the name of the car's Bluetooth to start the connection. At this point, the car's system will display a pairing code, which you should enter on your phone to complete the pairing. After entering the password, the car's system will display 'Connected' to indicate a successful connection. Next time you get in the car, simply turn on your phone's Bluetooth, and it will automatically connect without needing to repeat the steps.
I'm a car mechanic and often help customers deal with Bluetooth issues in old POLOs. Most older POLO models don't have a factory Bluetooth module, so they rely on external devices for connection. The method is quite simple: buy a small Bluetooth receiver and plug it into the car's cigarette lighter or AUX port, then turn it on and search for the device name on your phone's Bluetooth to pair. I recommend choosing a well-known brand adapter to avoid signal interference affecting sound quality; always pay attention to safety during operation, don't touch your phone while driving, and setting up automatic connection after pairing is more convenient. After Bluetooth connection, you can listen to music or make calls, but the old car system may be unstable, so regularly check the device contact points to prevent loosening. If the connection fails, try restarting your phone and the device, or test with another receiver to identify the root of the problem.
