How to Connect Bluetooth in Volkswagen Lavida?
3 Answers
Turn on both the mobile phone Bluetooth and the car Bluetooth, and make sure they are in discoverable mode. On the mobile phone Bluetooth interface, click "Search for Devices" to find the car Bluetooth. Select the car Bluetooth in the mobile phone, click on the car Bluetooth - Bluetooth Settings - Pair, and the mobile phone will pop up a dialog box asking for the pairing code. Enter the pairing code.
Last time I connected Bluetooth to my Lavida, I found the steps quite straightforward. First, sit in the car and turn on the center display screen, then locate and tap the settings button on the homepage. Next, select the Bluetooth menu and turn on the car's Bluetooth function, making sure the device is set to visible. At this point, take out your phone, open the Bluetooth settings, and start searching. After about half a minute, a device name starting with 'VW' followed by the car model should appear. Tap to pair it, and a verification code will pop up—just ensure the numbers match on both sides to complete the connection. Finally, don’t forget to go into the multimedia options and switch the playback source to Bluetooth mode so that navigation prompts and music can play properly. If you can’t open music files after connecting, it’s likely that you haven’t enabled Bluetooth audio source permissions in the media settings.
Based on my experience frequently helping friends debug car audio systems, the Bluetooth connection process for the Lavida can be completed in three steps. First, ensure the vehicle is started to power up the infotainment system, then tap the phone icon in the lower left corner of the screen to enter the device management interface and activate Bluetooth visibility. Simultaneously, turn on your phone's Bluetooth and keep it within 1 meter to scan – typically, a device named something like "VW Passat BT" will appear in the list. After successful pairing, pay special attention to two things: check if your phone has granted contact sharing permissions, and make sure to enable Bluetooth audio output in the vehicle settings. Many beginners get stuck with no sound simply because they forget this final step of switching the media channel.
