Pairing with Your Smartphone

You can pair your Vieo™ device with your smartphone and the Garmin Drive™ app to enable additional features and access live information (Live Services, Traffic, and Smartphone Features).

NOTE: This connection enables live services and traffic features. To use your phone for hands-free calling, or to use it as a Bluetooth media source, you must pair it separately in the Music app (Connecting a Compatible Bluetooth Device).
  1. From the app store on your smartphone, install the Garmin Drive app.
  2. Turn on your Vieo device, and place the device and your smartphone within 3 m (10 ft.) of each other.
  3. On your phone, open the Garmin Drive app.
  4. 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.
