Connecting your phone with or without the MyDrive app

You can choose to pair your iOS or Android phone to your device using the MyDrive app or using only Bluetooth®.

If you connect using the MyDrive app, you can use all the features listed above. If you connect using only Bluetooth, the smartphone messages feature will not be available.
