How to Connect Bluetooth on Older QX50 Models?
2 Answers
First, enable Bluetooth on the mobile device you wish to pair. Then locate the Bluetooth function in the vehicle's infotainment system. Use the car's Bluetooth to search for the mobile device's Bluetooth. Alternatively, you can search for the vehicle's device from your phone. Follow the mobile device's manual instructions to search for Bluetooth devices using your phone. Upon successful search, the current device name will be displayed, prompting you to confirm pairing readiness. Press [Yes] or [OK] to complete the pairing process.
I've been driving the older QX50 for several years, and connecting Bluetooth is pretty straightforward, but there are a few small details to pay attention to. I remember being a bit confused the first time I tried it. Actually, the safest way is to operate it while the car is started but in a parked state. Go to the main menu, find the audio settings, and open the Bluetooth option. It will display 'Add New Device.' At this point, turn on Bluetooth settings on your phone and search for nearby devices. You'll see a name like 'INFINITI BT' or something similar—click to connect. Both sides will need to enter a pairing code or confirm that they match; the default is usually 0000 or 1234. Once paired, it will automatically connect the next time you get in the car, making it convenient for music and calls. Remember to keep the vehicle stationary and avoid driving while doing this to prevent distractions. If it doesn’t connect, try restarting the car or your phone’s Bluetooth. If the hardware is fine, it’s just that the system might be a bit slow due to the car’s age.
