Connect mobile phone to motorhome?

Assuming it's a Fiat Ducato then below near the cup holders there is a USB port to plug into.  Also once connected via blue tooth you should be able to press the media button on the radio and play music that way.

i've just bought a new Fiat Ducato (Autotrail). I couldn't at first get my mobile phone (Samsung Galaxy S3) to pair with Fiat's (useless?) Uconnect system.

After a thousand hours of trying & watching You Tube videos on the subject etc etc I did manage to get it to pair, but each time I come to the van now it has "forgotten" me and I have to go through the whole process again.

Even when I manage it, the functionality seems limited, I cannot import my contacts list and can only make calls by manually entering each number to the radio console, more dangerous if on the move than using my phone, which obviously I don't do.

As I havent got any mates anyway I've given up and stop in a layby if I need to use the phone.....

Thanks both of you.  I should have said its a peugeot boxer but my husband's now lost the connecting cable.  When he gets a new one tomorrow he'll have another go and try pressing the media button!  Not saying it'll work  but i'll come back and say one way or the other.

Thanks  RJLJ,  but  dont  come  back  to  us  while  you 

are  driving     giggle,  giggle  !!

 

I've  taken  to  keeping  the  'phone  in  my  jeans  pocket

that  way  I  cannot  possibly  use  it  without  stopping  &

going  for  a  walk  !!

The  music  is  one  CD ledged  in  the  slot  &  R2  for any

traffic  flashes  in  my  area.

 

Is it possible to listen to music via Bluetooth in your vehicle? .... I ask because though I can make & receive calls in my 2007 Mercedes, the bluetooth gizmo doesn't allow music streaming. That's done via a jack plug socket in the glove box.

Make sure in your Bluetooth settings on the phone that the device is 'visible to all users' before you try to pair it.

On my 2007 XTrail all I could do was pair the phone. On my current later model it also lets me import contacts, and playlists. So on this one I can listen to music. If yours allows it, when you press the aux button you should see the option of connect via blue tooth. I get that as well as by USB.

I've got to be honest, I found the Uconnect system works really well.

I'm using an iphone 6s and connect via the USB socked near the cup holders.

I can access all my contacts through the menu system, no problem

I can access music from my phone and also music I've downloaded though spotify onto my phone.

Never had any issues with the bluetooth connectivity either. As soon as I switch on bluetooth on the phone, by the time I get through the menu system to check, it's all connected.

We have a Rollerteam 740, 2015 ,as soon as I enter the cab switch on ignition my phone is automaticaly connected  with all functions no problem
