Applications (If equipped)
When the system is equipped with Bluetooth® or WiFI, the system is capable of using applications, commonly referred to as apps.
The term application refers to any piece of software that works on a system (hardware) that is being operated by it's own software. Applications are typically small software programs which uses the hardware to perform a specific task, as opposed to operating the entire system.
- For an application to be used, it must be installed on both the vehicle infotainment system and a compatible mobile device.
- The device must be connected to the system. this may be done wirelessly via Bluetooth®, WiFi, or via the vehicle USB port. Refer to the device manufacturers information for the proper connection method.
- When the device is connected, the vehicle infotainment system is used to remotely access and control the application on the mobile device.
- The application must work correctly on the device to work with the vehicle infotainment system.
- The user may be required to log-in to the application on the mobile device before using the application from the vehicle controls.
- Using applications will use the device's data plan.
- The device must be unlocked, and any additional applications should be closed.
