NOTE: First of all, the hardware addresses of the Bluetooth devices found are displayed. A built-in filter ensures that only vehicles are found. A connection to other devices is not possible.

The green information bar shows the progress of the search.

Device addresses can be present multiple times in this list.

After the search has been completed, the names of the vehicles with which the IMIB can be paired are displayed.

The complete search process can take up to 30 seconds.

If devices are found, these will be shown as described in point 4.

Examples:

If no devices with a corresponding identification were found, this is shown on the IMIB display and the selection window remains empty.
