How do I pair the GAS MAX M140BTX with my phone and the app?

When connecting your phone to the GAS MAX M140BTX, you need to do so in the correct order:

First pair MAX M140BTX for music and hands-free calls. Then connect MAX M140BTX_APP from within the stereo’s remote control app.

This order applies to both Android and iPhone.

What is the difference between the two Bluetooth names?

Bluetooth name	Use
MAX M140BTX	The standard Bluetooth connection for music streaming and hands-free calls.
MAX M140BTX_APP	The connection for the stereo’s remote control app.

Always start with the standard MAX M140BTX connection.

How do I pair my phone for music and hands-free calls?

1. Switch on the stereo and enable Bluetooth on your phone.

2. Open your phone’s Bluetooth settings and search for available devices.

3. Select MAX M140BTX and complete pairing.

4. Try playing music from your phone through the stereo before connecting the app.

On Android, MAX M140BTX_APP may appear first in the list, even if the app is not installed. Still select MAX M140BTX for the initial pairing.

How do I connect the remote control app?

Once music streaming is working:

1. Open the stereo’s remote control app.

2. Tap Connect in the top right corner.

3. Select MAX M140BTX_APP in the app’s device list.

4. When connected, a tick appears next to Connect.

Do I need the app to play music?

No. You can stream music using the MAX M140BTX Bluetooth connection without using the app.

The app connection is needed when you want to use the stereo’s remote control app.

What should I do if I connected MAX M140BTX_APP first?

If the app connection is made first, pairing for music and hands-free calls may fail. Start again by removing the pairings and clearing the stereo’s Bluetooth memory.

Clearing the memory removes saved Bluetooth pairings from the stereo.

1. Open your phone’s Bluetooth settings and choose to forget MAX M140BTX and MAX M140BTX_APP, if they are saved.

2. Press the stereo’s volume knob, turn it to Bluetooth and press the knob again.

3. Set RECONNECT to OFF.

4. Set INITIALIZE to YES to clear the Bluetooth memory.

5. Then set INITIALIZE to NO.

6. Check that the stereo’s Bluetooth symbol is flashing.

Then pair your phone with MAX M140BTX and test music streaming. Afterwards, connect MAX M140BTX_APP using the app’s Connect button.

What should I do if it still does not work?

Contact BRL and provide:

• Whether you use Android or iPhone and your phone model.

• Which Bluetooth names appear and which one you connected to.

• Whether music streaming works.

• The stereo’s serial number.
