Roady BT. Another possibility is that the vehicle headunit may take both profiles from a previously paired
smartphone and assign them both to the SiriusXM Roady BT.
In the event that both profiles are assigned to the SiriusXM Roady BT, when you subsequently pair or reconnect
your cellphone you will need to tell your vehicle headunit to split the profiles between your cellphone and the
SiriusXM Roady BT. However, some vehicle headunits do not allow you to split the profiles between two
Bluetooth devices.
Once the profiles have been split, you can use your cellphone for phone calls and the SiriusXM Roady BT for
streaming the SiriusXM audio. The headunit will automatically switch to the hands free cellphone mode when
you make or receive a phone call.
TIP: Always consult the owner’s manual for the vehicle’s headunit for more information and additional instructions.
Q: Are there any other tips and tricks I should be aware of when connecting the audio via Bluetooth?
A: Yes, please review and keep in mind the following tips:
TIP: This one is important: Always turn off other nearby Bluetooth devices before starting the pairing process with
the SiriusXM Roady BT, devices such as a cellphone.
TIP: Always read the Bluetooth pairing instructions in the owner’s manual for the vehicle’s headunit before
attempting to pair and connect the SiriusXM Roady BT. You may find helpful information specific to your vehicle’s
headunit.
TIP: Some vehicle headunits only support a limited number of paired Bluetooth devices. Before attempting to pair
and connect the SiriusXM Roady BT, check that your vehicle’s headunit can support an additional Bluetooth device.
If not, you may have to remove a previously paired but unused device to accommodate adding the SiriusXM Roady
BT.
TIP: In the vehicle’s headunit, if you do not find the Bluetooth pairing option under the Bluetooth Settings Menu,
some headunits have this function in the Menu option on the Mobile/Phone screen.
TIP: Some vehicle makes/models only allow Bluetooth pairing from the Phone Menu, even for a Bluetooth media
streaming device. Be sure and check Phone Menu if you could not find this function elsewhere.
Q: Should I initiate pairing from the Roady BT or from the vehicle’s headunit?
A: The default method of Bluetooth pairing and connecting is to initiate pairing with the vehicle’s headunit from Roady
BT. Consult the SiriusXM Roady BT User Guide section titled, “Method A: Bluetooth pairing from Roady BT to the
radio/headunit”.
Q: What if my vehicle’s headunit does not allow me to initiate pairing from the SiriusXM Roady BT?
A: If the vehicle’s headunit only supports pairing from headunit, then, first enable the searching for Bluetooth devices on
the SiriusXM Roady BT. Once the SiriusXM Roady BT completes the search, select “Device Not Found” on the SiriusXM
Roady BT. (This makes the SiriusXM Roady BT visible to the vehicle’s headunit.)
Then initiate Bluetooth pairing and connection on the vehicle’s headunit, and look for the SiriusXM Roady BT in the list
of discovered Bluetooth devices.
Consult the SiriusXM Roady BT User Guide section titled, “Method B: Bluetooth pairing from the vehicle radio/headunit
to Roady BT”.
