Manage My Devices
To use Bluetooth® audio and hands-free, a Bluetooth®-equipped device must be paired with your vehicle. After a device is paired, it is automatically identified by the system. If several devices have been paired to your vehicle, the Bluetooth® unit links to the most recent device paired. If you pair a device that has been paired to your vehicle more than once, delete "Mazda" on the device before proceeding. Execute the Bluetooth® search on your device and pair to the newly detected "Mazda."
A maximum of 7 devices (including Bluetooth® audio devices and hands-free mobile phones) can be paired with your vehicle. If Bluetooth® is always turned on in the cell phone, the device will automatically connect to the vehicle whenever the ignition is turned on.
