How do you connect a blue tooth tablet or phone to the sound system of a 2020 Chevy Equinox

 

There are two main ways to connect a Bluetooth tablet or phone to the sound system of a 2020 Chevy Equinox:

Using the Infotainment Touchscreen:

1. Turn on the vehicle and keep it in Park. This is important for safety reasons and to ensure a smooth connection.
2. Touch the Phone icon on your vehicle's touchscreen. This icon is usually located on the main menu of the infotainment system.
3. Look for an option to add or connect a new phone. The specific wording may vary depending on the infotainment system version, but it will be something like "Add Phone," "Pair New Device," or "Bluetooth Settings."
4. Go to your phone's Bluetooth settings, turn Bluetooth on and select your vehicle from the list of options. Make sure your phone is discoverable by other devices.
5. Confirm the code shown on the phone matches the code on the infotainment touchscreen. If the codes match, you can usually just tap "Pair" on the touchscreen.
6. If prompted, agree (or disagree) to allow the infotainment system to access your phone's contacts and messages. This is optional, but it will allow you to make calls and send messages hands-free through the car's system.

Using Voice Recognition:

1. Turn on the vehicle and keep it in Park.
2. Press the Push-to-Talk button on the steering wheel. After the tone, say "Pair Phone."
3. Follow the instructions provided by the voice recognition system. This will usually involve confirming your phone's name and, if necessary, entering a PIN code.

Additional Tips:

• If you're having trouble connecting, make sure your phone is within range of the car's Bluetooth system (usually about 30 feet).
• You can also consult your car's owner's manual for specific instructions on how to connect Bluetooth devices.
• Some 2020 Chevy Equinox models may have additional features, such as wireless Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, which allow you to connect your phone and access certain apps and features directly through the car's infotainment system.
