How to Connect Bluetooth in Old Lavida?

[VanJoshua]

Turn on both the mobile phone Bluetooth and the car Bluetooth, and make sure they are in discoverable mode. On the mobile phone's Bluetooth interface, click "Search for Devices." The mobile phone can then search for the car Bluetooth. Select the car Bluetooth displayed on the mobile phone, click on the car Bluetooth settings to pair, and enter the correct pairing code. Once done, "Connected" will be displayed on the car Bluetooth.

Connecting Bluetooth to an old Lavida isn't actually difficult. Let me share my technical experience. First, ensure the vehicle is in ACC mode—that means turning the key to the power-on position without starting the engine. Next, locate the settings menu on the infotainment screen, select the Bluetooth option, and enable discovery mode to make it visible. Then, turn on Bluetooth on your phone and scan for available devices—the old Lavida usually appears as something like "VW Bluetooth." Tap to pair. The pairing code is typically 0000 or 1234; enter it to complete the connection. If it fails to connect, common causes include an aging Bluetooth module or outdated software. Try restarting the infotainment system, turning all devices off and on again, or deleting old pairing records on your phone and rescanning. Also, remember to select the audio output source after successful pairing to play music or make calls. Ensure stable Bluetooth power by keeping the battery fully charged to avoid disconnections. Don’t get distracted while driving during the process—safety comes first. Once, while helping a friend, his infotainment froze, and we had to gently tap it with a screwdriver to reboot—just pay extra attention to details with older cars.

Veteran owner here to talk about Bluetooth pairing. I've driven my Lavida for ten years and got the hang of it. After getting in, turn the key to the ON position but don't start the engine immediately. Look for a menu button or center console control near the instrument cluster to enable Bluetooth settings. Activate Bluetooth on your phone, and during the search, you'll spot a name like 'Skoda BT'—tap to pair, the PIN is almost always 0000. If pairing fails, check your phone's Bluetooth list, delete redundant devices, and try again. I recommend doing this while parked to avoid accidents, keeping devices close for strong signal during setup. Regularly check for infotainment system updates; some older models need minor upgrades to optimize connectivity, but avoid random firmware flashes to prevent system crashes. Once paired, set up auto-connect so your phone links automatically to play music hassle-free. If signals drop, try a better charging cable or external power source to stabilize voltage.

As a beginner connecting Bluetooth for the first time, it's actually quite simple. After getting in the car and turning on the power button, wait for the infotainment screen to light up, then enter settings and select Bluetooth, enabling the discoverable mode. On your phone, turn on Bluetooth scanning, find the Lavida device name such as 'VW Car', click to pair and enter '0000'. Successful pairing will be confirmed by a flashing light, then return to the audio source and select Bluetooth. If it fails repeatedly, try a few more times ensuring you're close to the device.
