smartphone and the Garmin Drive
app to enable additional
features and access live information (Live Services, Traffic, and
Smartphone Features, page 14) . The Garmin Drive app also
enables advanced Garmin voice-activated navigation and
Amazon Alexa skills and features.
1
From the app store on your smartphone, install the Garmin
Drive app.
2
Turn on your Garmin DriveSmart device, and place the
device and your smartphone within 3 m (10 ft.) of each other.
3
On your phone, open the Garmin Drive app.
4
Follow the on-screen instructions to sign in to a Garmin
account and complete the pairing and setup process.
The main app dashboard appears. After the devices are paired,
they connect automatically when they are turned on and within
range.
Connecting to the Vehicle Stereo
Connecting to the Stereo Using a Bluetooth
Connection
If you have a compatible vehicle stereo, you can send the
Garmin DriveSmart device audio to the vehicle stereo using a
wireless Bluetooth connection. This allows you to hear high-
quality audio for navigation prompts, media, Alexa responses,
and phone calls from your vehicle speakers without a wired
connection.
NOTE: If your stereo does not have Bluetooth technology, you
can send audio to the stereo using an auxiliary audio cable
(Connecting to the Stereo Using an Auxiliary Audio Cable,
page 3).
1
Select an option:
During the initial Garmin Drive app pairing process, select
Yes when the app asks whether you currently use
Bluetooth technology to connect your smartphone to your
vehicle.
After the initial pairing process, from your Garmin
DriveSmart device, select Volume > Bluetooth Audio
Setup, and verify Vehicle is selected for each audio type
you want to send to your stereo using a Bluetooth
connection. Audio types set to Garmin Device play from
the Garmin DriveSmart device speaker.
2
Set the audio source for your vehicle stereo to the Bluetooth
input.
NOTE: By default, the device sends audio to your stereo
using Bluetooth media mode, which requires your stereo to
be set to the Bluetooth source. You can change the Bluetooth
mode settings to send some or all audio using Bluetooth
hands-free calling mode instead (Bluetooth Audio Modes,
page 2).
Bluetooth Audio Settings
When your device is connected to your vehicle stereo using a
Bluetooth connection, you can select how to play each type of
audio on your device. For each audio type, you can select
Vehicle to play that audio type from your stereo through the
Bluetooth connection, or you can select Garmin Device to play
that audio type from the device speaker or auxiliary output
cable.
Select Volume > Bluetooth Audio Setup.
Guide Me: Provides on-screen instructions to help you choose
the best Bluetooth audio settings for your vehicle and stereo.
Navigation: Allows you to select how to play navigation voice
prompts, such as upcoming turns and lane guidance.
Alexa and Media: Allows you to select how to play
Amazon Alexa responses, music, audiobooks, and other
media.
Phone Calls: Allows you to select how to play phone call audio.
Bluetooth Audio Mode: Allows you to select the Bluetooth
mode used to send audio to your vehicle stereo.
Bluetooth Audio Modes
Your device can send audio, such as navigation prompts,
Amazon Alexa responses, and music, to your stereo using two
Bluetooth modes.
NOTE: Phone calls are always sent to your stereo using
Bluetooth hands-free calling mode.
Select Volume > Bluetooth Audio Setup > Bluetooth Audio
Mode.
Play as Media: Sets the device to send audio in Bluetooth
media mode using A2DP audio protocol. For most vehicles,
this option provides the best sound quality. To hear audio
sent in Bluetooth media mode, you must set your stereo to
the Bluetooth input source.
Play as Phone Call: Sets the device to send audio as a
Bluetooth hands-free phone call. This option uses your
stereo's Bluetooth hands-free calling feature to play the
audio. This allows you to hear navigation prompts and
Amazon Alexa responses on your stereo, even while listing to
other audio sources, such as the radio. It can also be useful
for vehicle stereos that do not have a Bluetooth media input
source, or for which the Bluetooth media input provides lower
sound quality. When using this mode, all Bluetooth audio
from the device interrupts all sources on your stereo, and
most stereos do not allow you to switch to another source
while Bluetooth hands-free calling is active. The device
automatically stops sending a Bluetooth hands-free calling
signal after it finishes playing an audio item, and the stereo
switches back to the previously active audio source.
NOTE: This option is available only while the navigation
device is paired with an Apple
®
device.
Sets the device to send audio using a combination of
Bluetooth media and Bluetooth hands-free calling signals.
Music, audio books, and other media are sent to the stereo in
Bluetooth media mode using A2DP audio protocol.
Navigation prompts and Amazon Alexa responses are sent to
the stereo as a Bluetooth hands-free phone call. When using
this mode, navigation prompts and Amazon Alexa responses
interrupt all audio sources on your stereo. However, to hear
media playback from the device, you must select the
Bluetooth input source on your stereo. This mode is useful if
you switch between device media and other media sources,
but you always want to hear navigation prompts and
Amazon Alexa responses.
2 Getting Started
background
Connecting to the Stereo Using an Auxiliary Audio
Cable
If your Garmin DriveSmart device is not connected to the vehicle
stereo using a Bluetooth connection, you can send the device
audio to the vehicle stereo using a 3.5 mm stereo auxiliary audio
cable.
1
Connect one end of the audio cable to the 3.5 mm audio
output jack on the Garmin DriveSmart power cable plug.
TIP: The electrical system in some vehicles may generate
background noise in the device audio, such buzzing or
squealing, when you connect to the stereo using an auxiliary
audio cable. If this occurs in your vehicle, you can connect a
ground loop isolator (sold separately) between the audio
cable and the audio output jack on the power plug. This can
help eliminate the electrical background noise.
2
Connect the other end of the audio cable to the auxiliary input
jack for your vehicle stereo.
This jack may be labeled AUX or Line In. See your vehicle
owner's manual for more information.
3
Set the audio source for your vehicle stereo to the auxiliary
input.
4
Select an option:
During the initial Garmin Drive app pairing process, select
No when the app asks whether you currently use
Bluetooth technology to connect your smartphone to your
vehicle.

DriveSmart device, select Volume > Bluetooth Audio
Setup, and verify Garmin Device is selected for each
audio type.

prompt appears on the screen, and select Off.
The prompt appears after five seconds. If you release the
power key before the prompt appears, the device enters
power saving mode.
Acquiring GPS Signals
When you turn on your navigation device, the GPS receiver
must collect satellite data and establish the current location. The
time required to acquire satellite signals varies based on several
factors, including how far you are from the location where you
last used your navigation device, whether you have a clear view
of the sky, and how long it has been since you last used your
navigation device. The first time you turn on your navigation
device, it may take several minutes to acquire satellite signals.
