How to Use Bluetooth in the New Honda Fit?

Select the Bluetooth system in the interface to establish a Bluetooth connection, after which you can play Bluetooth music. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Supported Systems: The Honda Avancier multimedia system supports connecting with mobile phones via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Apple CarPlay. Use an iPhone that supports Apple CarPlay to connect to the system via USB. 2. Relatively Outdated: The Fit requires the installation of the original DA screen to have Bluetooth functionality; otherwise, the original radio can only play music by inserting a USB drive. Even with the original DA screen, compared to the multimedia systems of other car models, it remains relatively outdated in terms of operability and the richness of features. Compared to the abundant media functions of domestic brands, Honda cars do not come with powerful entertainment systems.

When I first got my Honda Fit, I also spent quite some time figuring out the Bluetooth setup. It's actually very simple. After getting in the car, first locate the central control screen on the right side of the steering wheel, tap the 'Settings' icon, and select 'Bluetooth Devices'. Then, turn on your phone's Bluetooth to search for devices. When you see 'HONDA HFT' or a similar name, tap to pair. A 6-digit pairing code will appear on the screen—confirm the match on your phone, and you're all set. Next time you get in the car, as long as your phone's Bluetooth is on, it will automatically connect. Once connected, you can use the multifunction buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to skip tracks or answer calls directly, which is especially convenient for long drives with music or navigation. Remember to enable both 'Media Audio' and 'Call Audio' permissions in your phone's Bluetooth settings to fully utilize all features.

I've encountered the Fit's Bluetooth connection issue three times and here's my experience: First, ensure the infotainment system is in pairing mode – power on the vehicle by pressing the start button twice while braking (without starting the engine), then tap the phone icon to enter Bluetooth menu after the screen lights up. On your phone, delete all old car Bluetooth devices and scan anew – the Fit's default Bluetooth name is its chassis code like 'GK5'. If pairing repeatedly fails, try turning off both the car and phone Bluetooth for 10 seconds before re-enabling. Once connected, remember to set your phone as the priority device in the car's Bluetooth list for instant connection upon every startup. PS: Android users should verify all permissions are granted.

As an audiophile, let me share some Bluetooth audio quality optimization tips for the Fit. After connecting Bluetooth, don't rush to play music. First, go to the 'Sound Settings' on the central control screen and prioritize selecting the AAC format for the Bluetooth audio decoder – this will noticeably improve clarity for iPhone users. When playing music, pay attention to the audio bitrate displayed on the instrument panel; if it's below 48kHz, consider upgrading your music streaming subscription. A half-second delay when skipping tracks using the steering wheel controls is normal, and disabling audio enhancement features in your phone's music player can help. If you experience intermittent audio, it's likely because your phone is in your right pocket being blocked by metal keys – placing it in the cup holder position provides the most stable signal.

Using the Fit for business every day, I found its Bluetooth is most practical for making calls. After pairing, the contacts automatically sync, and saying 'Hello Honda, call Zhang San' enables voice dialing. Here's the key point: if the caller's voice sounds too quiet during a call, you can independently increase the call volume to 80% in the settings while keeping the media volume at 50% to avoid ear discomfort. For conference calls, long-pressing the mute button on the steering wheel can prevent awkward situations. A little Easter egg—when two phones are connected, pressing the phone button allows quick switching between devices, which is especially handy for workers carrying both a work phone and a personal phone.
