• On your phone, open the Garmin Drive app.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to sign in to a Garmin account and complete the pairing and setup process.

The main app dashboard appears. After the devices are paired, they connect automatically when they are turned on and within range.

Connecting to the Vehicle Stereo

Connecting to the Stereo Using a Bluetooth Connection
If you have a compatible vehicle stereo, you can send the Garmin DriveSmart device audio to the vehicle stereo using a wireless Bluetooth connection. This allows you to hear high-quality audio for navigation prompts, media, and phone calls from your vehicle speakers without a wired connection.

NOTE: If your stereo does not have Bluetooth technology, you can send audio to the stereo using an auxiliary audio cable (Connecting to the Stereo Using an Auxiliary Audio Cable, page 8).

NOTE: This feature is not available for all product models.

• Select an option:
  • During the initial Garmin Drive app pairing process, select Yes when the app asks whether you currently use Bluetooth technology to connect your smartphone to your vehicle.
  • After the initial pairing process, from your Garmin DriveSmart device, select Volume > Bluetooth Audio Setup, and verify Vehicle is selected for each audio type you want to send to your stereo using a Bluetooth connection. Audio types set to Garmin Device play from the Garmin DriveSmart device speaker.
• Set the audio source for your vehicle stereo to the Bluetooth input.

NOTE: By default, the device sends audio to your stereo using Bluetooth media mode, which requires your stereo to be set to the Bluetooth source. You can change the Bluetooth mode settings to send some or all audio using Bluetooth hands-free calling mode instead (Bluetooth Audio Modes, page 7).

Bluetooth Audio Settings
When your device is connected to your vehicle stereo using a Bluetooth connection, you can select how to play each type of audio on your device. For each audio type, you can select Vehicle to play that audio type from your stereo through the Bluetooth connection, or you can select Garmin Device to play that audio type from the device speaker or auxiliary output cable.

• Select Volume > Bluetooth Audio Setup.
• Guide Me: Provides on-screen instructions to help you choose the best Bluetooth audio settings for your vehicle and stereo.
• Navigation and OK Garmin: Allows you to select how to play navigation voice prompts, such as upcoming turns and lane guidance.
• Alexa and Media: Allows you to select how to play Amazon Alexa responses, music, audiobooks, and other media.
• Phone Calls: Allows you to select how to play phone call audio.
• Bluetooth Audio Mode: Allows you to select the Bluetooth mode used to send audio to your vehicle stereo.

Bluetooth Audio Modes
Your device can send audio, such as navigation prompts, Amazon Alexa responses, and music, to your stereo using two Bluetooth modes.

NOTE: Phone calls are always sent to your stereo using Bluetooth hands-free calling mode.

• Select Volume > Bluetooth Audio Setup > Bluetooth Audio Mode.
• Play as Media: Sets the device to send audio in Bluetooth media mode using A2DP audio protocol. For most vehicles, this option provides the best sound quality. To hear audio sent in Bluetooth media mode, you must set your stereo to the Bluetooth input source.
• Play as Phone Call: Sets the device to send audio as a Bluetooth hands-free phone call. This option uses your stereo’s Bluetooth hands-free calling feature to play the audio. This allows you to hear navigation prompts and Amazon responses on your stereo, even while listening to other audio sources, such as the radio. It can also be useful for vehicle stereos that do not have a Bluetooth media input source, or for which the Bluetooth media input provides lower sound quality. When using this mode, all Bluetooth audio from the device interrupts all sources on your stereo, and most stereos do not allow you to switch to another source while Bluetooth hands-free calling is active. The device automatically stops sending a Bluetooth hands-free calling signal after it finishes playing an audio item, and the stereo switches back to the previously active audio source.
• Compatibility Mode
  NOTE: This option is available only while the navigation device is paired with an Apple^® device.
  Sets the device to send audio using a combination of Bluetooth media and Bluetooth hands-free calling signals. Music, audiobooks, and other media are sent to the stereo in Bluetooth media mode using the A2DP audio protocol. Navigation prompts and Amazon Alexa responses are sent to the stereo as a Bluetooth hands-free phone call. When using this mode, navigation prompts and Amazon Alexa responses interrupt all audio sources on your stereo. However, to hear media playback from the device, you must select the Bluetooth input source on your stereo. This mode is useful if you switch between device media and other media sources, but you always want to hear navigation prompts and Amazon Alexa responses.

Connecting to the Stereo Using an Auxiliary Audio Cable
If your Garmin DriveSmart device is not connected to the vehicle stereo using a Bluetooth connection, you can send the device audio to the vehicle stereo using a 3.5 mm stereo auxiliary audio cable.

NOTE: This feature is not available for all product models.

2. Connect the other end of the audio cable to the auxiliary input jack for your vehicle stereo. This jack may be labeled AUX or Line In. See your vehicle owner’s manual for more information.
3. Connect the device power cable to the blue USB port on the vehicle power adapter.
4. Set the audio source for your vehicle stereo to the auxiliary input.
5. Select an option:
   • During the initial Garmin Drive app pairing process, select No when the app asks whether you currently use Bluetooth technology to connect your smartphone to your vehicle.
   • After the initial pairing process, from your Garmin DriveSmart device, select Volume > Bluetooth Audio Setup, and verify Garmin Device is selected for each audio type.
