Bluetooth® Audio

Bluetooth® Audio

Applicable Bluetooth® specification (Recommended)

Ver. 1.1/1.2/2.0 EDR/2.1 EDR/3.0 (conformity)

Response profile

  • A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) Ver. 1.0/1.2

  • AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) Ver. 1.0/1.3/1.4

 

A2DP is a profile which transmits only audio to the Bluetooth® unit. If your Bluetooth® audio device corresponds only to A2DP, but not AVRCP, you cannot operate it using the control panel of the vehicle's audio system. In this case, only the operations on the mobile device are available the same as when a portable audio device for a non-compliant Bluetooth® device is connected to the AUX terminal.
