The Pontiac G8 offers Bluetooth capabilities. Bluetooth allows cell phone and GPS users to access their electronic device without the need to touch anything but a button on their dash or steering wheel. Bluetooth will type text messages, dial contacts, answer phone calls and even pick up directions on your GPS while playing the sound out of your stereo speakers. Enabling Bluetooth in your Pontiac G8 with your other electronic devices can be challenging, but once you've done it, the process will have been worth it.
Turn on your electronic device, such as your GPS or cell phone, and enable the Bluetooth connection on that device. Open the menu of your device and select settings off the menu. Select connection settings, which should include one for Bluetooth. Select Bluetooth and turn on the setting. Your electronic device should automatically search for the Pontiac G8 Bluetooth. Select the Pontiac G8 from the list of Bluetooth devices on your electronic device. Your electronic device will prompt you to type in a code to connect to the Pontiac G8.
Start your Pontiac G8. Hold the OnStar button (located on your dash or steering wheel) until you hear "OnStar Ready" over your speakers. Respond by saying "Bluetooth." The system will respond with "Bluetooth Ready." The Bluetooth capability has been turned on for the G*, but you still need to connect your device to the Bluetooth to receive a signal.
Listen for the system to say "Bluetooth Ready." Respond by saying "Pair." The G8 OnStar will give you a code, which may be displayed on the dash display or spoken over the speaker.
Enter the code into your electronic device, which is now in sync with your Pontiac G8 Bluetooth.
