Helpful list for pairing phone to car

I found this and can be printed to help with pairing your phone to the car. I know these instructions are in the owners manual but this is condensed.

Where’s the push to talk button?
It must only work for OnStar equipped Cadillac’s

Push to talk button would be the button that you push to talk

The one on the steering wheel that you push to make a phone call or answer an incoming call.

Read step one. Hold talk button 2 seconds say "Bluetooth" then "Pair"
Used this list to pair my phone with car and don't have a On Star subscription.

As much trouble as I always have with pairing BT, I was expecting a step by step. Maybe the GM system is easier than most I have encountered. I have got some to work by just pushing a button, not many.

Sorry. But those instructions in post #1 are too basic and don't have all the steps and details.
The owners manual instructions are simple, and easy to read.

Note: Read the book first, then use the list. For people that want to flip thru pages by all means do so.

Yes, "picky, picky, picky", as in the vast majority of cases, a set of stripped down instructions just would not be sufficient.

As a list for Voice commands it's pretty handy - not so much for the actual act of pairing.
