To activate Bluetooth on a Volkswagen Passat, turn on the instrument cluster and then press the SETUP button next to the central display on the dashboard. This will give you access to a menu where you need to select the "Media" option.

Selecting this option will bring up another screen where you can select "Bluetooth audio autoplay": by selecting it, you can enable or disable the tick. When the tick is enabled, it means that the Bluetooth connection will be active; conversely, it means that the connection will be disabled.
