IPhone 5 Bluetooth Audio not working with stock Toyota radio

I have a 2010 Toyota 4Runner Limited which has the premimum JBL radio in it.  Up until recently, I have had an iPhone 4 which worked well with both hands free phone features, along with Bluetooth Audio so I can stream my music from iTunes or Amazon Cloud Players.  I dont use the feature all the time, so I am not sure when it stopped working (after upgrading to IOS6 or upgrading to an iPhone 5) but bluetooth audio no longer works.  I can still use the bluetooth phone features, but if I go to the bluetooth music tab on my stereo, it states that the portable player is not connected. Siri also works fine through bluetooth, as it it can read my text messages, ask and answer questions through the car stereo, though I cannot make an outgoing call with Siri because after it shuts off siri and starts to dial, my stereo disconnects. 
I know Apple updated the bluetooth, but you would think the new version would be backwards compatible, right?  Is there a plan from Apple to fix this, because I am sure Toyota isnt going to update the firmware on their stereos just to fix an issue with one phone...

Actually, as an update, mine is now working (the BlueTooth Audio part, Siri still cannot place calls).
I have done this on my first (now smashed) iPhone 5 and my new iPhone 5.  It takes a lot of trial and error, but you can get it to work.
First thing is with the iPhone 4, all I had to do was connect the phone in the phone connect screen and it just worked for both.  Not so with the 5.  With the 5, I have to register it both in the Audo Settings> Bluetooth Audio Settings menus as well as the phone settings on the radio.  I didnt know there were two different connections with two different pins.  (0000 and 1212).  I forget which one you have to connect first, but again, I tried it so many times both installs and it eventually worked.  It may be easier to change the name of either the Phone or Bluetooh Audio name from Car Multimedia, so the iPhone can easily connect to one or the other, but I left them both with the same name.  I can now play music, and when the phone rings, automatically swaps over to that one.
Play with it and you will get it to work.  If I have time, i will remove it and do it again and write down the steps.

    The iPhone 4 may not work with a cut down SIM. Get a microSIM from your carrier when you set up service.

    GUYS MY iPHONE 4 IS NOT WORKING WITH THE SIM CARD IN ZIMBABWE,HOW DO I UNLOCK IT?

    Only the wireless carrier that the iPhone is locked to is capable of unlocking it.  You'll have to ask them if they will unlock it.  Some will, some won't.
    Hope this helps

  • Iphone 5 bluetooth is not working with my macbook

    can somebody help me? my iphone 5 is not working when i try to use it with my mackbook.

    What are you trying to do? The only thing you can pair your bluetooth for is to tether from your phone to your macbook. You cannot do anything else with bluetooth.

  • Bluetooth n95 not working with headset

    i have recently bought the motorola s9 bluetooth stereo headset. there are a couple of problems. it works fine to connect for the first time using the code on the phone. then if i turn the headset off and on it connects and immediatly disconnects. this is a problem but not a major one.
    the biggest problem is the music cuts out all the time for a couple of seconds. i have tried placing the phone right next to the headset and it stil happens. i have read the other n95 forums and see this is very common with the new firmware (i had already installed new firmware so i dont know if this happened on the old firmware).
    does anyone else have this problem with another headset or can anyone give me a solution. how often does firmware come out. and is it possible to delete the new firmware.

    Same problem here, unfortunately - iPhone 3G & 3.0 do not work with both the SHB6100 and SHB7100 by Philips.
    Philips SHB6100 + iPhone 3G 3.0: A2DP *does not work*
    Philips SHB6100 + Nokia and SE phones: A2DP works
    Philips SHB6100 + MacBook Leopard: A2DP works
    Sony DR-BT30Q + iPhone 3G 3.0: A2DP works
    Complaining here, however, is not really going to help as these are user to user forums and there is nothing users can do to fix this. Please report this issue at the Apple iPhone Feedback page @ http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • Iphone and ipad not working with USB3?

    for some 3 months now, when I connect my iphone or ipad to the pc nothing happens.
    I tried to look it up in the device manager and it said: Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is an older USB device and might not work with USB3.0
    Plug the device into an available USB2.0 port and click next. Otherwise, click cancel.
    Anyone had the same problem? Any solution that doesn't require being a computer engineer?
    Thanks

    nothing else connected,
    I used to simply plug the iphone or ipad and a folder will open giving me choices of what to do (open the device, copy pictures...) nothing happens anymore on both ipad iphone, I can't access them to copy the pictures, videos...

  • Bluetooth is not working with Windows 8.1 on U410 touch

    Hello,
    I have a Lenovo U410 touch, and i just upgraded to windows 8.1 though the store.
    And the bluetooth is not working at all, it says that the PC is searching for Bluetooth devices. While everything was working great before.
    I have updated all the drivers from the Lenovo websites and still nothing is working
    I went to device manager and checked under bluetooth: Intel (R) Centrino Wireless Bluettoth 4.0 + High Speed. Microsoft Bluettoth Enumator, Microsoft Bluetooth LE enumarator all 3 are up to date.
    Then I went to network connections (from the start) and i have a red cross under Bluettoth network connection 2 and says not connected.
    My windows is also up to date
    I really think gooing back to Windows 8 since i cannot listen to my music on my beatbox and connect to my phone and tablet,
    Thank you for your help

    hi erabbath,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    If you have the Intel Centrino N2230 Wireless + Bluetooth adapter, can you try to:
    1. Navigate to the Control Panel (large icon view) > Devices and Printers and try to pair a bluetooth device (i.e. Bluetooth Headset) and observe if it gets detected under the device list.
    2. If the Bluetooth Headset is listed but it's not working try toright click on it > choose Properties. On the bluetooth properties Window, go to the Services Tab and check all the appropriate bluetooth services.
    Sample picture
    Let me know your findings.
    Regards
    Thank you very much for your answer,

    And it search endlessly whereas before the upgrade it was working properly,

    Thanks in advance for your help

  • Bluetooth on iPhone 6 does not work with car stereo

    I have used iPhone 4, 4S, 5 and 5S on my car - my own and my families phones. They all work as intended with regard to music and most importantly telephony. My car (FORD S-MAX) has buttons etc. for phone navigation. My daughters and wifes 5S's still work.
    When I paired my new iPhone 6, the pairing itself was successful, but it does not work at all.
    1) Incoming calls show my own telephone number, regardless of who calls
    2) I cannot use the car buttons for anything, neither pickup, hangup or anything else
    3) Regardless of what I do, the Podcast starts playing, if I choose Bluetooth as sound input on car. If I click pause on Podcast, it resumes after a while, sometimes immediately.
    4) If I use the phone to dial a number, the sound is not in the car, even if sound source is Bluetooth/Car. If I select something else and back to car, the sound is in the car.
    Hopefully this is soon to be solved! Or is there already a solution out there?
    Best regards
    Matt, Denmark

    My iPhone 6 pairs just fine with my 07 Z4 ,no idrive etc just the basic B/T install  on a Business standard radio set up with e snap in connector for the iPhone
    but not yet an iPhone 6 snap in
    You may need to ensure you clear all ol pairings from Beemer they have a limited number of pairings that can be stored at one time
    To dispel all the bad press my 6 also happily paired with my '13 X1 without any issues and with the correct snap in also  plays audio
    The issue is usually with iDrive which BMW do have some issues with

  • Bluetooth Headphones not working with the Nano 6th Gen

    I was wondering if anyone else out there has issues with using bluetooth headphone with the new nano. I have a pair of Motorola Motoroka S9 headphones and have to use the D650 Adapter with it and when I plug into the bottom of the iPod I get "Unsupported" Accessory is not supported. As I know Apple hates to put bluetooth in anything other then iPod Touch & iPhones. What's up with that?? All my other nanos 2nd & 3rd Gens work fine with the adapter......but my current and newest one doesn't. Anyone else having that issue?

    How did you reboot the ipod nano 6th gen?
    Two things this thing needs.
    1. Digital / regular watch face combo.
    2. capable bluetooth headphones. Either a plug in add-on to either headphone or multi-pin port. Also a speaker of some sort to tell that an alarm is going off.
    I use alarms on my watch.
    more watch face designs(digital and analogue) would be awesome.

  • IPhone Bluetooth Headset Not Working Now

    My Bluetooth Headset was working fine last night. I charged in completely over night, and when I went to use it on my handy dandy iPhone 3G, I could not hear anything. It showed on my phone as connected and I could hear the beeping when I pressed the button on the Bluetooth, but I could not hear the other person talking! My phone has the current update, 2.2.1, and I have never had this issue before!
    If someone could please help me, I would greatly appreciate it!

    You should try restoring your iPhone through iTunes. I hear restoring has helped in such situations. Please report back with any news.

  • Bluetooth audio not working since 4.4.2 update

    Since the update to 4.4.2 bluetooh audio no longer plays to my Marley Bag of Riddim portable bluetooth speaker...
    http://www.thehouseofmarley.com.au/audio-systems/bag-of-riddim-bluetooth-portable-audio-system.html
    But it does still work with my LG HBS730 bluetooth headset...
    When on 4.3 it worked fine...with both the Bag & Headset
    Interesting to note that my old HTC Desire (android 2.3.3) still streams audio via bluetooth fine to the Bag and also to my LG HBS730 bluetooth headset.
    How can i fix it please? It is clearly releated to the 4.4.2 android update...
    Thanks
    Paul
    Edit: Is it possible to roll it back to official droid 4.3 ??

    I have same problem, after update no sound from my car player pioneer Mvh-350bt.
