How to Use Uconnect®

It isn't difficult to set up with your phone, simply follow the steps in our Uconnect® overview. Start by pushing the Uconnect® button on your steering wheel or touchscreen. Once the prompt occurs, you can say, "phone pairing" or "setup." After the next prompt, you will say, "pair a phone." From here, you will need to enter the PIN number. By default, it will be 0000 or whatever is stated in the owner's manual.

Create a preferred name for your phone and you can also set it as a priority. On your phone, find its Bluetooth menu and enable it. Direct the phone to locate a new device and select "Uconnect®." Once you enter the four-digit pin, you will be connected and ready to go. It's really that simple.
