Mazda CX-3: Bluetooth® Preparation / Device selection (Bluetooth® Audio)

Mazda CX-3 (2015-2024) Owner's Manual / Interior Features / Audio Set [Type A (non-touchscreen)] / Bluetooth® Preparation / Device selection (Bluetooth® Audio)

If several devices have been paired, the Bluetooth® unit links the device last paired. If you would like to link a different paired device, it is necessary to change the link. The order of device priority after the link has been changed is maintained even when the ignition is switched off.

Using the audio control dial, select the link change mode “LINK CHANGE” in the “BT SETUP” mode. (Refer to “Bluetooth® audio device set-up” for details.)
Press the audio control dial to determine the mode.
The name of the currently linked Bluetooth® audio device is displayed.
If no Bluetooth® audio device is currently linked, the name of the first device among the paired devices is displayed.
Turn the audio control dial to select the name of the device you would like to link.
Press the audio control dial to select the device you would like to link. The symbol disappears, and “PAIRING” flashes in the audio display.
NOTE

When “GO BACK” is selected and the audio control dial is pressed, the display returns to “LINK CHANGE”.
If the link to the desired device is successful, the symbol is displayed again, together with “LINK CHANGED”. “LINK CHANGED” is displayed for three seconds, then it returns to the normal display.

NOTE

Some Bluetooth® audio devices need a certain amount of time before the symbol is displayed.
If a hands-free type mobile phone has been the most recently paired device, the Bluetooth® unit links this device. If you would like to use a Bluetooth® audio type device which has been previously paired to the Bluetooth® unit, the link must be changed to this device.
If an error occurs while trying to link a device, “Err” flashes in the audio display for three seconds, and the display returns to “LINK CHANGE”. If this occurs, check the pairing status of the Bluetooth® audio device and the location of the device in the vehicle (not in the luggage compartment or a metal-type box), and then try the link operation again.
Device selection can also be done using voice recognition.

How to confirm the device currently linked

Switch to the link-change mode. (Refer to “Changing the link to a Bluetooth® audio device”)

The device name displayed first is the device which is currently linked.
