How to exit out of the bluetooth screen when i don't have the phone sync'd up?? I want to get back to the regular screen that has all the other options like the digital speedometer, trip time...etc. It eventually resets back to that screen, but it takes a few days for it to happen and annoys the crap out of me.
View 4 RepliesWe just bought a 2014 camry with 4000 miles on it. i deleted the previous phones from the previous owner and then the bluetooth was turned off. one can see that on the screen unlit and OFF. How to turn it back on? There is no option to turn on. tried to set to default and nothing.
View 8 RepliesFor 2 years I've had no issues connecting my bluetooth to my Samsung Galaxy 4 phone. All of a sudden the screen on the Camry shows that it's not paired with my phone anymore. I go into Bluetooth setup and the area where you add a new bluetooth device isn't even allowed. The only option on the Bluetooth screen that's allowed to be touched is the "paired devises" line. My son's iphone still shows up and my old phone shows up. I wondered if it wasn't my phone but then when I go back to install a new bluetooth device it won't even let me.
View 7 RepliesI just got a new 2013 Camry SE with the basic (non-nav) touch display and the Galaxy S3 registers and will play music and display the artist and track name most of the time.However, I have no option of looking at the artists or selecting albums. The right and left buttons on the wheel controls do nothing, and I can only skip forward and backward one track.
On page 54 of the display manual, it shows a browse button that is not there on my screen. I cannot get track lists of any kind. I should also note that the song progress bar is not displayed as it is in the picture.
Is there a certain app that I can use that would make the phone more compatible? I'm a bit shocked that a phone as commercially successful as the S3 is not working properly with a 2013 vehicle.
My rear differential has an oily film around the area where the axles exit the differential. The oil is not dripping, no oil puddles - it is a film of oil with road dirt stuck to it. You can wipe your finger on it and it looks like black grease on your finger. Is this film normal? The dealership says it's normal. I say it should be dry.
By the way, 10,000 miles ago I had a similar symptom and the same dealer (different technician, advisor and service manager) relaced the axle seals under warranty. The new guys say VW will only replace the seals if it is dripping. It was not dripping the last time they fixed it. Now they say they cannot support a repair. Car still has drivetrain warranty.
Two weeks ago I changed my own oil as part of the 40K service. I told them that I saw the weeping axles at that time.
2012 Camry LE. When I am already talking to someone using the Bluetooth and another call comes in, I get a Caller ID pop-up on the screen along with a green phone and a red phone. Neither button does anything. There doesn't seem to be any way to switch to the second call. I can't even end the first call. It's as if that second call has disabled all functionality of the screen and steering wheel buttons.
View 12 RepliesJust took delivery of my 2005 SC430 (Egyptian Sand, white leather, 55k miles. Lovely vehicle.) which I thought came with Bluetooth.
However, when looking to pair my iPhone 4S the 'Phone' icon is not present on the ML Nav Info display screen, suggesting that maybe Bluetooth is missing? I confirmed it's a 2005 from the VIN.
When I depress the little button below and behind the steering wheel volume buttons (left side - this is a US car) I get a voice saying 'No cassette inserted' or words to that effect, suggesting it's a cassette control button, not a Bluetooth one. The Nav instruction book which came with the car specifically refers to the presence of Bluetooth.
How to find if I have Bluetooth or not? My iPhone cannot 'discover' anything.
I recently started noticing that when I make a call with my phone connected via bluetooth, the phone number and/or name of person calling no longer shows up on the infotainment screen.. now it just shows as "private call" ... Why this is happening all of a sudden? It was working fine until recently.. how do I fix it?
View 5 RepliesI played around with the audio system (Golf R with Nav) and it would not show any media even though the phone was paired and I was able to make the calls. Pandora would not play through the speakers either (BT streaming enabled). A sales guy with an IPhone had no problems - as soon as he would hit 'Play' in iTunes, the music streamed just fine.
View 24 RepliesBasically, I want my radio to auto synch/start up in bluetooth mode. When I turn on the radio it will start up my SD card music, then I have to push the bluetooth button to then synch and play my music. Any settings I'm missing somewhere?
View 9 RepliesAfter the update the phone still pairs no problem. Haven't tried Bluetooth audio but when making calls connection appears to mute? The call doesn't drop and I can hear the caller but they sporadically can't hear me.This is in my wife's 2011 Golf with RCD510.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to decrease the amount of background noise using Bluetooth phone calls.
First question is, how do I get to the microphone?
Second question is, do you think these would work?

car: GOLF TDI '10 with premium radio unit *(but not the one with navigation or anything). I had my phone plugged in to charge up, and got a call, so my bluetooth kicked in and i started the conversation, but during my conversation i disconnected the phone from the charger, and all of a sudden music starts playing through my speakers all while i'm having a conversation. First i thought it was the other person's music on the background or something, but it was me, i had to stop the music on my iphone. After conversation ended, music kicked back in automatically from my iphone again.
View 4 RepliesI have read and confirmed myself that there is a problem syncing contacts to the car from android if the contact has a picture associated with it.
I'm running an android phone with CM7 on it.
I have an I-Phone 4s and for some reason my car will not recognize when a call is coming in. I am continuously having to "forget" then resync my phone for it to work. Even then it will only last for so long. In addition, I can't seem to get the bluetooth to play music from my phone either.
View 1 RepliesI've had my '16 GTI for about a month now and the Bluetooth is driving me nuts. Every time I get in the car, the radio initiates a pairing request to my phone and I have to manually acknowledge that the PIN matches and hit Allow a few times to exchange contacts and other messages.
What am I missing? When I turn the car off, the VW radio immediately disappears from my phone's list of paired devices.
I'm about ready to go back to the dealership and demand a new radio. This is nuts.
I'm actually fairly pleased with Android Auto, but I think this flaky BT issues is disrupting my AA from connecting smoothly.
I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 that is about 3 months old.
I recently picked up my 2015 GTI DSC Autobahn White and can max out the volume when using Bluetooth music streaming and the volume at the max level is at a substantially lower level than if I was using the radio or Sirius XM. Even at max level, it just doesn't seem that loud. I'm coming from an 2013 Audi Allroad and never noticed a big difference in volume levels when using Bluetooth music streaming. I haven't had a chance to test the volume when using the MDI cable since I'm waiting for the appropriate adapter for my iPhone 6. Should there be a big difference in audio levels with Bluetooth music streaming? Is there a setting that I need to adjust?
View 5 RepliesIs it possible to turn off the freeway exit info on the nav? This is the info that shows up when you are in a long stretch and it shows POIs in between your current location and the exit that you will take. I do not like that it takes up half of the screen to display info I do not need.
View 9 RepliesSo last night I was cleaning my Passat out and noticed something strange. The front doors have a lighted exit light (you know, that red reflector-like light on the bottom of the door). The back doors have the same but they appear to not be lighted -- is this by design? I would think they would all light up.

View 5 RepliesToday while hanging out in my gt,i I turned on the stereo using the button wheel on the console. I tried to connect my phone using Bluetooth and noticed that it was grayed out and not an option as an input. I noticed pressing the start/stop ignition button was the only way to get the Bluetooth to connect to the car. Im not sure if the Bluetooth is powered separately or I'm doing it wrong. I just wanna use my phone and listen to music without turning on all the lights and car electronics.
