How to Turn on Bluetooth in Trumpchi GS4?

[JacksonFitz]

To turn on Bluetooth in Trumpchi GS4, first click on 'Phone Interconnection' on the main interface and press the MEDIA button. This allows for the first-time connection to an external Bluetooth audio source, or you can establish a connection via the Bluetooth settings in the menu. Follow the prompts on the display and proceed with the operation to complete the Bluetooth connection.

I've been driving the Trumpchi GS4 for over two years now, and I frequently use Bluetooth to connect my phone for music playback. Activating the car's Bluetooth is actually quite simple: First start the vehicle, wait for the infotainment screen to light up, then locate the gear-shaped "Settings" icon on the homepage and tap it. Scroll to the "Bluetooth" option and toggle the switch until it turns blue - you'll notice the screen then displays a "Discoverable" prompt. Next, take your phone, refresh the device list in Bluetooth settings, and you should see a device name containing "TRUMPCHI". Tap to pair, then finally confirm the pairing code on the car's screen. Here's a handy tip: When the car gets hot from summer sun and occasionally causes unstable connections, I'll turn on the AC to cool it down first before connecting - works perfectly smooth every time.

Last week, I just taught my neighbor how to connect her newly purchased GS4 to Bluetooth, which actually only takes three simple steps. First, power up the vehicle without starting the engine—just press the start button twice until the dashboard lights up. Second, look for the 'Phone' icon on the left side of the central control screen, tap it, and you'll directly see the Bluetooth switch; just tap it to activate. Third, turn on Bluetooth on your phone, search for the car's system name, and tap to pair. Note that some versions may require entering the pairing code '0000' for the first time. After connecting, I also showed her how to sync her frequently used contacts to the car's system, making it safer to answer calls while driving without taking her hands off the wheel. If the system can't be found, simply restart the car's system by holding down the volume knob for ten seconds to reset automatically.

After commuting with the GS4 for two years, I've mastered the Bluetooth connection and discovered a handy trick. Simply say "Hello Xiaoqi, turn on Bluetooth" to the steering wheel, and the voice assistant will automatically activate the Bluetooth function. Then, turn on your phone's Bluetooth and search for devices—look for the car name followed by the model number and tap to connect. The key is to set the car's system as an authorized device in your phone's settings, ensuring automatic reconnection every time you get in the car. Tested with both Apple and Xiaomi phones, they connect instantly. If connection fails, check if your phone's system restricts permissions for new device pairing.

Helped a friend set up Bluetooth on three different year models of the GS4 and noticed the Bluetooth access location has changed. The older models had a dedicated Bluetooth button on the right side of the AC control panel, while the newer models integrate it into the touchscreen. The general method is: after ignition, tap the 'Connect' option in the function bar at the bottom of the screen, then enable Bluetooth in the device management page. When searching with your phone, note that the car's system name might appear as 'GAC-GS4' or 'CAR_BT'. After successful pairing, it's recommended to immediately change the device name to something easily recognizable, like 'Lao Wang's Ride', to avoid confusion when other phones connect later. If you experience intermittent connectivity, it might be due to poor contact in the antenna module, and a visit to the 4S shop for inspection is advised.

Last year, I picked up the GS4 hybrid version and discovered hidden Bluetooth features in the manual. The normal way to enable it is to swipe right from the central control screen's main interface to enter the quick menu, where the Bluetooth icon is located in the first row. Press and hold to access advanced settings, where you can adjust the audio transmission quality. Once, when playback was stuttering, changing the transmission mode from "Stereo" to "Mono" here made it smooth. Key reminder: After changing phones, be sure to delete the original pairing record in the car's system. The operation is to enter the Bluetooth device list and swipe left to delete. It is recommended to clean the pairing list monthly to avoid exceeding the device limit and preventing new phones from connecting.
