trouble with stereo/bluetooth??
 
my stereo when switched to phone works intermittently. now it wont patch the calls through the stereo unit meaning I have no Bluetooth. I have checked the manual, but its intermittent.
ANYONE ELSE WITH A FAULTY UNIT??

Have you tried deleting the phone from the head unit, and your phone and start a fresh set-up / pairing?

This also happened to me, I thought it was my phone's fault for the longest while. Then I tried deleting and pairing it again, it's worked ever since. No idea why the car stopped connecting to it in the first place, but I noticed almost anything electronic these days need a reset once in a while.

There is an option for the bluetooth entry (in this case your phone) to restore default settings. That will fix it.

thanks, I have reset it a few times. trouble is its intermittent. cuts out in the middle of a call. works on some numbers not others. Toyota said they'll replace it. I will let you know if they are as easy too deal with as they say. I always expect to get screwed on warranties so maybe this will be ok.

What phone do you have connected? Does it work in other cars you have/have had? How many other phones are on the connection list?

Bluetooth is really stupid, in my experience if you try to sync more than 1 phone to a bluetooth device the results are mixed at best.

I have 3 phones on it and following instructions I tried to delete all of them to reload this one but it wont delete them either. I guess its done. I will try to delete them again. I don't have a smart phone, just a new flip phone.

I believer there was a setting on the HU to stop downloading the address book from the phone. I think there is a bug with that. I know I can be driving along and for my phone to suddenly disconnect. Also, I can't start BT audio, if I start the car before turning on bluetooth on my phone. This HU is truly one of the worse touch screen units I've ever experienced.

Toyotas touch screen makes me pine for buttons.
