How to Turn On Bluetooth in a Base Model Chevrolet?
2 Answers
Chevrolet's in-car Bluetooth can be activated through the central control screen. Access the main interface menu on the central display. Locate and select the phone option in the menu, then navigate to the secondary menu within the phone settings. The Bluetooth option will be visible there; simply click to enable it.
I remember when I first tried to set up the Bluetooth in a base-model Chevrolet, I realized it might not come with the factory feature. Basic versions like the Cruze or Trax often only have a simple radio, so you should first check the center console. After starting the car, look for the settings menu button, tap into it, and scroll to see if there's a Bluetooth option—if there is, just turn it on and pair your phone. But honestly, many base models don’t have it at all. In that case, don’t panic—the easiest fix is to buy a Bluetooth adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter. Those cost around 20 bucks and connect to your phone via an Aux cable for music or calls, making driving much safer. After installing one myself, it worked great—no more fumbling with the phone, especially on long drives, which became way more relaxed. If you really can’t figure it out, a quick visit to the Chevrolet dealership to check the settings or upgrade the system is also an option.
