Abstract
A system for establishing a wireless connection between a mobile device and a vehicle includes a human-machine interface (HMI), a vehicle communication system, where the vehicle communication system includes a wireless connection transceiver, a speaker, a microphone, a controller in electrical communication with the HMI, the vehicle communication system, the speaker, and the microphone. The controller is programmed to activate a wireless connection mode of the controller based at least in part on a signal from the microphone and transmit a vehicle wireless connection identifier using the speaker. The controller is further programmed to confirm a vehicle wireless connection passcode using at least one of the speaker and the microphone and establish a wireless connection between the mobile device and the controller using the wireless connection transceiver in response to confirming the vehicle wireless connection passcode.
