Volkswagen ID.4: Coupling, connecting and managing

To use the phone interface functions, pair a cell phone with the Infotainment system.

You can connect up to two cell phones to the Infotainment system at the same time. However, only one device is active at a time and can be used to make calls. The second connected device can receive calls via the Infotainment system and be used to play media.

The available functions depend on the cell phone used and its operating system.

The function is only available for cell phones that support Bluetooth (version 2.1 or above).

Pairing a cell phone

Before connecting for the first time, you need to pair the cell phone with the Infotainment system. A user profile is then automatically saved in the Infotainment system → User profiles. The coupling process may take a few minutes.

Requirements:

✓ Bluetooth is activated on the Infotainment system.

1. Open the list of available Bluetooth devices on your cell phone and select the device name for the Infotainment system.

2. Pay attention to messages on the cell phone and in the Infotainment system and confirm these if necessary.

If the pairing is successful, the data on the cell phone will be saved in the user profile.

3. Optional: Confirm the message for transferring the data on the cell phone.

WARNING

If you carry out the coupling when driving, this may cause accidents or injuries.
