Geely Emgrand center console can be used without connecting to a phone. The standard configuration of Geely Emgrand does not include the phone connectivity feature. An additional phone connectivity option needs to be selected to continue using this feature. Car Bluetooth: Car Bluetooth technology originates from mobile phone Bluetooth, with the main purpose of allowing drivers to answer calls hands-free during driving without touching the phone, simply by using the answer button on the multifunction steering wheel. This not only simplifies the call answering process but also improves driving safety. Additionally, the car Bluetooth function enables wireless playback of music from the phone. Center Console Buttons: They are mainly divided into radio, car navigation, Bluetooth connection, computer connectivity system, volume switching, and air conditioning system; rear seat center console area; Electronic Stability Program (ESP) can be manually turned off in conditions like rain, snow, or muddy roads, while generally driving with it on can prevent skidding and fishtailing. Parking radar/image, the center console screen displays the rearview image, and the radar detects obstacles with an alarm sound. Auto start-stop, at traffic lights, briefly turns off the engine. When the driver's foot leaves the brake pedal, the vehicle will restart.
It's quite common for the Geely Emgrand's infotainment system to be unusable without connecting to a phone. I'd say the main issue could be hardware failure, such as a loose or damaged USB port. Frequent plugging and unplugging during long drives can easily cause port issues, leading to failure in recognizing phone signals. Software is also a factor - outdated system versions or bugs can cause connection failures. Try restarting both the car system and your phone first; this often solves the problem. Don't forget to check cable connections - if they're aged or damaged, it's best to get them replaced at a repair shop. The car system relies on phone hotspots, and unstable networks can cause it to stop working. Regular software updates can prevent issues. In short, don't rush to spend money - simple troubleshooting can often identify the root cause.
