First, enable the Bluetooth function on both your mobile phone and the vehicle's Bluetooth device, and set the phone's Bluetooth to 'Visible to All' in the settings. Then, search for Bluetooth devices on your phone. Once found, select it to initiate pairing and connection. The pairing password is: 0000. After successful pairing, the connection will be established.

Connecting your Bestune X40's infotainment system to your phone is actually quite simple. You'll need the original data cable - first check your phone's operating system. Android users should download the Baidu CarLife app from their app store, while iPhone users can directly use the built-in CarPlay feature. Once in the car, activate the connectivity function on the center display (usually found as a prominent icon in the main menu). Then connect your phone to the vehicle's USB port using the cable - the screen will display prompts guiding you through the process. After successful connection, navigation maps and music apps will display directly on the large screen, and you can even use steering wheel buttons to control song switching. If connection fails, try using a different cable or restarting your phone - that's how I fixed it last time.

When it comes to the connectivity features of the Bestune X40, here's how I usually connect with my Android phone: First, make sure USB debugging mode is enabled on the phone, which can be found in the Developer Options in settings. When you plug in the USB cable in the car, the Baidu CarLife interface automatically pops up. If there's no response, manually tap the Smart Connectivity button on the central control screen. Once connected, the navigation voice from the phone will play through the car's speakers, which is exceptionally clear. Someone asked about making phone calls? The system directly accesses the phone's contact list, and you can simply use the steering wheel control buttons to answer calls. Remember to regularly update the CarLife software on your phone—once, the connection failed because the version was too old, but it worked immediately after updating.

Here's a little trick for connecting your phone to the Bestune X40's infotainment system: Don't start the engine immediately. First unlock your phone, then plug in the USB cable. Android users should pay attention to potential loose connections - make sure the cable is fully inserted. If you encounter error prompts during connection, try different USB ports. In my Bestune X40, the port nearest to the driver's seat works most reliably. Once connected, navigation becomes super convenient with routes directly displayed on the small dashboard screen, eliminating the need to constantly check your phone. If the music suddenly goes silent? Just go to the infotainment settings and increase the media volume separately. Your commute will never be confusing again.
