Where is the Bluetooth in older BYD models?
3 Answers
Older BYD models have Bluetooth located in the central control display, accessible through the infotainment system. Bluetooth hands-free can also be referred to as car Bluetooth or car hands-free. It enables wireless audio transmission from a mobile phone to Bluetooth headphones or speakers, converting sound wirelessly. Since drivers cannot conveniently answer calls directly with their phones, this product is mostly used by drivers. Below is an introduction to car Bluetooth: 1. Function: Automatically identifies mobile phones, allowing connection without cables or phone holders; drivers can control their phones without touching them, even keeping both hands on the steering wheel, using voice commands to answer or make calls, reducing the likelihood of traffic accidents. 2. Precautions: Do not use under strong light for extended periods.
I remember in some older BYD models I've driven, the Bluetooth function was usually hidden in the multimedia system menu. My routine was to start the car first, then locate either the "System Settings" or "Audio Settings" button on the center console. After entering, I'd typically find an option labeled "Bluetooth Connection" or "Bluetooth Devices". Tapping this would allow searching and pairing with phones. Many older BYD models might not have touchscreens, requiring you to manually rotate the control knob to navigate. If you can't find the Bluetooth menu, it might be because your model is too early to support native functionality - I once solved this by using a Bluetooth adapter plugged into the cigarette lighter or AUX port for music and calls. I'd recommend checking your vehicle manual to confirm the model year. For pre-2010 models, you might need to consider upgrading the infotainment system or installing an aftermarket accessory. The key is not to get frustrated if you don't find it immediately - try exploring different menu paths a few times.
In older BYD vehicles, the Bluetooth function is typically located in the multifunction button area near the dashboard or within the audio system. Having driven for decades, my experience tells me that in most models, after ignition, you first press the "Audio" button to open the interface, then select "Settings" or "Menu," and scroll to find the "Bluetooth Devices" option. Once inside, you can add your phone, remembering that the pairing code is usually the default 1234 or 0000. If you can't find the Bluetooth entry, don't fiddle around recklessly to avoid damaging the wiring—I've seen many people mess up their settings due to incorrect operations, resulting in the need for a soft reboot of the car's system. It's advisable to refer to your user manual for specific steps, as older car Bluetooth systems have poor compatibility and often encounter issues when connecting to newer phones. If all else fails, consider installing an external Bluetooth module at a repair shop—it's affordable and reliable. These details are worth noting for daily reference.
