Where is the Bluetooth in the GL8?
3 Answers
g18's Bluetooth switch is located in the central control display. When the car is powered on, select the Bluetooth button in the main menu. To connect your phone's Bluetooth, first turn on the peripheral Bluetooth you want to connect. Before connecting, pairing is required; enter the previously prompted password to successfully pair. Generally, the pairing password for phone Bluetooth and car Bluetooth is 1234 or 0000. After pairing is completed, the connection will be successful. If pairing is unsuccessful, try reconnecting. The body dimensions of the Buick g18 are 5256mm in length, 1878mm in width, and 1776mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3088mm.
I always use the GL8 to pick up and drop off my kids, and the Bluetooth location is super convenient to find. First, start the vehicle and turn on the central control screen. The main page usually has a 'Settings' or 'Audio' icon—tap it, then select 'Connection' or 'Bluetooth Devices' to pair your phone. Make sure your phone's Bluetooth is turned on during the process; the system will automatically search for devices. Just confirm the matching code, and you're set. If the screen doesn’t respond, check if the ignition is on—some functions may be limited when the engine is off. The GL8’s central control screen is located in the center of the dashboard. Newer models have touch controls, while older ones may require the voice button on the steering wheel for assistance. Once connected via Bluetooth, music and calls are hands-free, making it safe and hassle-free—I do this every time. Before the first pairing, I recommend restarting the infotainment system to avoid glitches that could interfere with driving.
After driving the GL8 for long distances frequently, Bluetooth issues are often hidden in the menu. The central control screen is a touch panel. After powering it on, simply swipe to the lower left corner of the main menu, where you'll find the 'Wireless Connection' option under 'Vehicle Settings.' Click on Bluetooth to pair. Remember to prioritize using the voice control button on the steering wheel for quick and easy access. If you encounter connection failures, try deleting the old pairing from your phone's Bluetooth list and start fresh. The GL8's interface may change after a system update, but the core settings remain in the menu. Ensure the vehicle is powered on with sufficient battery, or the functions may be grayed out. I often remind friends not to adjust settings while driving to avoid distractions.
