■Please read
- To connect to a car navigation system, you must install the "Drive P@ss Communication Service" app.
- When "Always-on communication settings" is turned on, communication will occur via Bluetooth with a connected car navigation system even when the application is not running.
If you connect before starting the app, the Drive P@ss app will start automatically when you press the "Drive P@ss" button on the car navigation system without having to operate your smartphone. (Only for compatible car navigation systems)
In this case, devices that use Bluetooth communication other than the car navigation system or apps that use Bluetooth communication other than this app may not function properly.
If you use Bluetooth-compatible devices or apps other than your car navigation system, be sure to turn off "Always-on communication settings".
(We are not responsible for any malfunctions that may occur if your Bluetooth-enabled device or app does not function properly if you turn it on and use it.)
