Allowing Bluetooth enabled devices to access your contacts

You can allow Bluetooth enabled devices that support the Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) to access the contact

information in the Contacts app on your BlackBerry device. For example, if you allow access to all of your contacts, when

you pair your device with your Bluetooth enabled car kit and you receive a call from a contact, your car kit can display the

name of the caller.
When you allow access to your contact information:
• If you previously paired and connected your BlackBerry device running BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.3.0 or earlier with

a Bluetooth enabled device, such as a car kit, the Bluetooth enabled device automatically accesses contact

information on your device.

• The first time you pair and connect your device running BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.3.1 or later with a Bluetooth

enabled device, such as a car kit, you receive a notification on your BlackBerry device asking you to confirm that you

allow access to your contact information.
