Pairing your BlueDriver MAX

Your BlueDriver can be paired either through the BlueDriver app or through your phone/tablet's Bluetooth settings menu.

Option 1 - In-App Pairing

Note: In-app pairing is available if there are no current BlueDrivers paired to your phone or app. If you are setting up a second BlueDriver you will need to pair it manually.

1: Turn the ignition on

2: Plug in your BlueDriver

3: Wait for the solid blue light to go out

Note: From this point on you have 60 seconds to pair your BlueDriver, if more than a minute passes you can trigger pairing mode by removing it and plugging it back in again.

4: Start the BlueDriver app.

5: Tap 'Connect' in the top/right hand corner of the app

6: Tap 'Allow' to enable Location Services

Note: Location services are required on Android devices for in-app pairing, the BlueDriver app will not access your gps or other location data. If you would prefer not to enable location services, your BlueDriver can be paired manually using option #2 below.

7: Tap "Scan for BlueDriver Sensors"

8: Select your new BlueDriver under "Other Available BlueDriver Sensors"

9: If asked to confirm a PIN or code you can tap "Pair" or "OK"
    If your phone requires a pin you can enter 0000 or 1234

Note: Access to contacts and call history is not required and can be left unchecked

10: Once paired the app will connect automatically, if you run in to any trouble you can get support through the app by going to the "More" tab and selecting "Contact Us"
