How do I connect to Bluetooth in my Kia Telluride?

My partner and I just bought a brand-new Kia, and we’re taking some long trips soon. We’d like to use the car’s Bluetooth to play music, listen to podcasts, and make calls if need be. How do I connect my Bluetooth to my Kia Telluride?

Sounds like you bought your Kia just in time for some
road tripping
! Here’s how to connect Bluetooth to a Kia Telluride:
  • Make sure Bluetooth is activated on your device
  • Hit the “Phone” button on your radio console or select “Setup” from your touchscreen
  • If no other devices have been paired, your Telluride may give you the vehicle’s device name
  • Alternatively, you may need to select “Add New” on the touchscreen
  • On your phone or device, look for the vehicle device name and select it
  • Make sure the passkey that appears on both your phone and your Kia’s touchscreen match
  • Select “Pair” and choose to allow or not allow your Telluride to access your contacts
  • The touchscreen will confirm when your phone is officially connected
Now that you’ve gotten Bluetooth set up in your new Telluride, you can make hands-free calls during your trip by hitting the “Phone” icon on your steering wheel and using voice commands to dial. Make sure you don’t get too caught up in your en-route calls to pay attention to the road—getting a
distracted driving ticket
could seriously ruin the trip and result in higher
Kia Telluride insurance costs
