Bluetooth^® Hub

Pairing of devices

This page provides help with pairing if DEFA Bluetooth^® Hub does not appear in the blue pairing screen in the DEFA app. This guide is not for DEFA Link.

Other phones connected?

The control unit Bluetooth^® Hub will not go into pairing mode if another smartphone is already connected. Tip: disable Bluetooth on other smartphones that have been paired and that are within range.

Access pairing mode by starting the engine twice with power cable connected

Bluetooth^® Hub will go into pairing mode when the vehicle is started twice with the power cable connected, with a maximum of 15 seconds between each start.

• Start and stop at a slow pace to allow the system to detect the drop in voltage due to start of the engine.
• Sometimes it is necessary to start the engine more than twice – it may be that not every start was detected.
• Starting the engine is not normally detected on electric/hybrid cars. In that case Bluetooth^® Hub must be connected to the ignition signal of the vehicle. Check with the installer if this has been done. Note: after turning off the engine, there may be a delay before the ignition signal goes off.

Pairing mode when restarting Bluetooth^® Hub

Bluetooth^® Hub can also be put into pairing mode for 1 minute by rebooting it. This can be done in two ways:

Alternative 1: Unplug the power cable from the vehicle. Remove the fuse on the cable that runs from the vehicle battery to Bluetooth^® Hub (often via the DEFA charger). Reinsert the fuse after a few seconds.

Alternative 2: Disconnect the screw connector on Bluetooth^® Hub, then reconnect.

Check the installation

If the engine and/or the interior heater start when the power cable is connected to the vehicle, then Bluetooth^® Hub is OK. If the engine and/or interior heater do not start, either the factory settings have been changed or there is an error – either in the installation or in Bluetooth^® Hub. Contact your DEFA dealer.

Pair with another phone

By pairing with a different phone, you can make sure that the error is not being caused by the phone
