Connecting to the Stereo Using a Bluetooth Connection

If you have a compatible vehicle stereo, you can send the Garmin Speak™ audio to the vehicle stereo using a wireless Bluetooth® connection. This allows you to hear high-quality audio for media, Alexa responses, 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).
  1. From the Garmin Drive™ app, select an option:
    • During the initial device setup, select Yes when the app asks whether you currently use Bluetooth technology to connect your smartphone to your vehicle.

    • After the initial device setup, select Settings > Garmin Speak > Audio, 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 Speak device speaker.

  2. Set the audio source for your vehicle stereo to the Bluetooth input.
