How To Enable Bluetooth Calling For Your Subaru Vehicle

Bluetooth technology has become an essential feature in modern vehicles, offering the convenience of hands-free calling while driving. In your Subaru, enabling Bluetooth calling is simple and can enhance your safety on the road by allowing you to take calls without taking your hands off the wheel. If you're not sure how to enable this feature, don't worry. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up Bluetooth calling in your Subaru. Empire Subaru is here to help you get started!

1. Ensure Bluetooth Is Enabled

Before you can enable Bluetooth calling, you must make sure that Bluetooth is enabled on both your Subaru’s infotainment system and your phone. Start by turning on your Subaru and the infotainment system. Navigate to the Bluetooth settings menu. On your phone, go to your Bluetooth settings and ensure that Bluetooth is turned on.

2. Pair Your Phone with Your Subaru

Once Bluetooth is enabled on both devices, you will need to pair your phone with your Subaru. On the infotainment screen, select the option to pair a new device. Your Subaru should display a Bluetooth name that you will recognize. On your phone, search for the name of your vehicle's Bluetooth system. When you select it, a pairing code will appear on the screen. Verify that the code matches on both the car’s display and your phone, then accept the pairing request on your phone. Once paired, your phone will be ready to use for Bluetooth calling.

3. Activate Bluetooth Calling Feature

After successfully pairing your phone, you will need to activate the Bluetooth calling feature. This can usually be found in the vehicle's Bluetooth settings. Depending on your Subaru model, this step may involve toggling a setting that enables hands-free calling through the vehicle's infotainment system. Check your car’s settings menu under "Phone" or "Bluetooth" options, and look for a feature labeled “Bluetooth Calling” or “Hands-Free Calling.”

4. Test the Connection

To test if the Bluetooth calling feature is working properly, try making a call using the voice command or dial pad in your Subaru's infotainment system. If everything is set up correctly, the call should go through without needing to handle your phone. You can use the vehicle's steering wheel controls to answer, end, or adjust the volume of the call.

5. Troubleshooting Bluetooth Calling

If you’re having trouble enabling Bluetooth calling, ensure that your phone’s Bluetooth settings are correct and that it is in range of your vehicle’s system. It’s also a good idea to ensure that your Subaru's infotainment system software is up-to-date.
