I used Bluetooth in my 2013 Buick GL8 before. That button is usually on the right side of the steering wheel, in the audio control area with a phone or Bluetooth icon. Just press it to initiate Bluetooth pairing. Make sure your phone's Bluetooth is turned on first, then the car's screen will display a search for devices—just select your phone's name. Once connected, you can even answer or make calls directly using the steering wheel buttons, saving you the hassle of reaching for your phone—super convenient and safe while driving. I always make sure to park the car first before operating it to avoid distractions and mistakes. If you can't find the button, it might be too small—take a closer look around the center of the audio panel, or try the options in the system settings menu. The design is great, and the button has a solid feel—not too complicated to interfere with driving. It's also handy for playing music or navigation audio during long trips. In short, once you confirm the location, it's just one click—don’t let small things delay your trip.
Having driven the older GL8 for many years, I know the Bluetooth button is usually located on the center console near the audio controls, specifically in the middle-lower part of the panel. The icon is small but clearly marked. To initiate Bluetooth pairing, you need to press that button to enter the settings, then select the device on the touchscreen. If you can't connect your phone—I've encountered this issue before—it's usually due to phone settings or the car's system needing a restart. In such cases, it's best to turn off the infotainment system and restart it, or check your phone's Bluetooth list to delete old connections and re-pair. Regularly clearing the cache helps maintain a stable connection, so don't wait until you urgently need to make a call on the road. The button's placement is reasonably designed and doesn't interfere with other function buttons, but beginners might overlook it—referring to the user manual's diagram can be more intuitive. Bluetooth connectivity in GL8 models of this year isn't the fastest, so be patient and get it right the first time.
