Hyundai Bluetooth Pairing Guide
Hands-free calling and music from your phone start with a good Bluetooth pairing. This guide follows Hyundai's online user's manual for its Car Infotainment System with navigation (ccNC, USA edition), read November 8, 2026: how to pair a phone the first time, how it reconnects, how many devices it holds, how to delete an old phone and the manual's fixes when Bluetooth will not connect. Available settings can differ by model and specifications, and other Hyundai systems can use different menu names, so check the manual for your vehicle too.

How do I pair my phone with my Hyundai?
Park in a safe place. On the Home screen, press Setup > Device Connections > Device Connections > Add New (for the first device you can also press the Call button on the steering wheel). Turn on Bluetooth on the phone, select the vehicle system, confirm the authentication code matches and approve on the phone. Allow contact access for calling. The Bluetooth icon appears at the top of the screen when it is connected.
What Bluetooth does in your Hyundai
Hyundai's manual says the system's Bluetooth connection supports only hands-free calling and audio functions. With a phone connected you can make and take calls through the system microphone and speakers and see call details on the screen; with an audio device or phone connected you can play music through Bluetooth Audio.
The manual's warning: park the vehicle in a safe place before connecting a Bluetooth device, because pairing can take your attention off the road.
How to pair a phone for the first time
The manual's steps for registering a new device are:
- On the Home screen, press Setup > Device Connections > Device Connections > Add New. For the very first device you can also press the Call button on the steering wheel or press Phone on the Home screen.
- Turn on Bluetooth on your phone and select the vehicle system from the list of devices it finds. The system's Bluetooth name appears in the Add New Device window on the screen.
- Check that the authentication code on the phone matches the code on the system screen, and approve the connection on the phone.
- If you want your contacts in the system, allow the access request on the phone. Access is only required for Bluetooth calling; there is no access request when you connect an audio-only device.
- Wait for the connection to finish. It may take a while after you approve access. When it is connected, the Bluetooth connection icon appears at the top of the screen.
You can change data access later in the Bluetooth settings on the phone. The manual also lists a Bluetooth Voice Prompts setting under Setup > Device Connections that plays voice prompts to help during pairing.
Reconnecting, switching and disconnecting
Once a phone is registered, the manual says it connects automatically when you bring it near the system. Other everyday tasks:
If it does not reconnect
Press Setup > Device Connections > Device Connections and press the icons to connect. If it still will not connect, check that Bluetooth is turned on on the phone.
Disconnecting
On the same Device Connections screen, press the connected icons to disconnect.
Stopping auto-connect
To keep a phone from connecting automatically, the manual says to turn off Bluetooth on that phone.
After a dropout
If the connection ends abnormally because the phone went out of range or had a fault, it is restored automatically when the phone is back in range or working normally.
How many phones and devices
| Item | What the manual says |
|---|---|
| Registered devices | Up to six Bluetooth devices. If six are already registered, delete one before adding a new device. |
| Connecting devices | You can add one Bluetooth hands-free kit or up to two Bluetooth audio devices (from Connecting a registered device and the Device Connections setting). |
| Bluetooth plus USB | If a phone is connected by both Bluetooth and a USB cable at the same time, the device or system may not work properly. To use the Bluetooth connection, remove all cables from the device. |
| Vehicle name | Edit the vehicle name the phone sees under Bluetooth System Information in Setup > Device Connections. |

Deleting a phone (new phone or a clean start)
To remove a device you no longer use, or to make room for a new phone, the manual's steps are:
- On the Home screen, press Setup > Device Connections > Device Connections > Delete Device(s).
- Select the device and press Delete. To delete every registered device, press Mark All, then Delete.
- Press Yes.
Deleting a device removes all of its related contacts, call logs and text messages from the system. A new phone is then registered the same way as the first one.
Bluetooth not working? The manual's fixes
| Symptom | Possible cause | What the manual says to do |
|---|---|---|
| The phone cannot find the vehicle | Registration mode needs to be running | On the Home screen, go to Setup > Device Connections, start device registration, then search again from the phone |
| The phone does not connect | The Bluetooth function should be activated | Turn on Bluetooth on the phone |
| The phone does not connect | There is an error while using the Bluetooth function | Turn Bluetooth off and on again on the phone and reconnect; turn the phone off and on and reconnect; remove the battery from the device, attach it back, turn it on and reconnect; or delete the vehicle from the phone's list and the phone from the system's list, then connect again |
From the Bluetooth connection-related issues table in the troubleshooting guide, Hyundai Car Infotainment System (ccNC navigation) user's manual (USA), read November 8, 2026.
If the system itself slows down or stops responding, the manual's next steps are to restart it with the reset button, update the system software, and contact an authorized Hyundai dealer if the problem continues.

Hyundai Bluetooth questions
How do I connect my phone to my Hyundai with Bluetooth?

I got a new phone. How do I add it?
Register it the same way as a new device. If six devices are already registered, first delete one under Setup > Device Connections > Device Connections > Delete Device(s).
Why does my phone not show the vehicle in its Bluetooth list?
The manual says registration mode needs to be running: go to Setup > Device Connections on the Home screen, start device registration, then search again from the phone.
How do I get my contacts on the screen?
