Pairing Bluetooth

[PaLa]

Hello, I had a question how does bluetooth pairing work? Do I need a phone to be connected to the craddle or should the car tether the bluetooth itself? Nothing comes up while scanning for active bluetooth connections. When buying the car it had an iphone craddle (I think for iphone 4s) but I use an huawei phone and I doubt the craddle is required this has been confusing me for quite a long time now and cannot find any answers online....
