Why can't the Alphard add new Bluetooth devices?
2 Answers
Clearing the Bluetooth connection and re-pairing usually solves the problem. Here is relevant information: 1. Car Bluetooth: The Bluetooth hands-free system ensures good call quality and supports phones with built-in Bluetooth modules and hands-free features from any manufacturer. Additionally, the Bluetooth hands-free system can be bundled with a GPS terminal to reduce costs. 2. Possible issue: The car Bluetooth might be malfunctioning and require repair at a service shop. The primary function of car Bluetooth is to connect with a phone via Bluetooth technology for hands-free calls during normal driving, freeing up hands and reducing the risk of traffic accidents.
Seeing you mention that the Alphard can't add new Bluetooth devices, my friend also ran into this issue before. It usually comes down to a few common hiccups. During Bluetooth pairing, either the phone isn't in discoverable mode, or the car's system itself isn't ready. Some Alphard models require the vehicle to be completely stationary and in Park mode to operate. Another possibility is that your previous device list is full—the system typically limits storage to five or six devices, so you might need to delete some old ones before adding new ones. Also, double-check the Bluetooth settings on the infotainment screen to ensure the pairing function is enabled. Occasionally, it could be a minor system glitch; try turning off the engine for a few minutes and restarting the vehicle. If all else fails, contact the 4S dealership to check if a software update or module inspection is needed. Making sure your phone's Bluetooth is on before driving can save a lot of hassle.
