Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Bluetooth Appears Connected But Can't Switch To Radio
Sep 28, 2014
Have non-Nav system. The "nav" display works OK, I can get into climate control, Info, Setting, etc. When I turn on the car, message comes up that Bluetooth is connected. But I can't switch to radio or CD and can't control it from a steering wheel either.
I checked all the fuses - all ok. Took the whole unit out of the dashboard, checked all the wire harness connectors in the back - all good. Also, disconnected Vaistech SLS and VML, just to make sure - still audio is off.
Why I can't turn the audio back on

So i have been trying to pair my phone to the car, but i always get a "Microphone not connected" message. I have attached the picture. The car detects the phone's audio media, but can't seem to be able to make calls using the Bluetooth. I remove my phone from my car's system and reconnect it. But once it is paired up, i get the same message as below.

Just got my Prius III last week and I've noticed that every time I leave the car, the bluetooth on my phone shows its still connected, even though the car is off and I'm no where near it. What's worse is that when I return to the car, it doesn't reconnect. So I'm not sure if its the phone or the car. I had bluetooth in my Tacoma for years and it worked fine, so it has to have something to do with the car. Its a Droid 4.

We just got our iPhones the other day and just set them up to connect to the car via Bluetooth. While the call features work great, all of the other sounds from the phone are completed muted when connected. No text message or any other push notification sounds can be heard at all from both the phone and the car's sound system.

So I connected my iPhone fine to the car. Then I connected my wife's. Select mine, everything fine with bluetooth streaming. But when she gets in the car it always connects to her phone for bluetooth streaming even though mine was the last one connected. Totally obnoxious, so I deleted her.

I have a 2012 Prius v Model 5 without Tech Pkg. While streaming music from my iPod Touch via Bluetooth, the sound tends to skip or speed up as if you are pressing fast forward intermittently. Sound is fine when hard wired via USB. I don't recall this happening when the car was new.

Have a 2006 GS300. Started having a clunk and jolt during slowdowns. Dealer says it appears to be the shift solenoid. Have 160 K+ miles.

Browse button is greyed out when an iPhone 4S (iOS 5) is connected using Bluetooth. Browse button is not greyed out when connected with iPod cable.

I all of a sudden starting having problem with my Bluetooth connection. I have an iPhone 6s (since September). It has latest operating system.
Now whenever I receive a text or notification on my phone it connects the Bluetooth. It shouldn't at all with app notifications. It then does release the connection.
Nav screen says call in progress. Hanging up phone from steering wheel does nothing. I must turn off Bluetooth on phone to release "the call" and listen to the radio.

I had a Samsung Galaxy s4 that gave me the message tethering detected and then the only way to get my phone to connect via bluetooth again was to delete the phone from the car and reestablish the connection which only worked until the signal popped up again. I called US Cellular and they thought it was the phone so I chose to get a refurbished s4 over having work done on my phone. I had that phone hooked up and working well for about 1 month and now the second phone is doing it.
The message last popped up while I was in my office across the street from the Prius. I'm guessing it's either a s4 issue or a US Cellular issue being it happens in and out of the car, but US Cellular is convinced it's my car. I'm thinking about switching to an iPhone because this is only one of the many things I hate about Samsung galaxies.

I put aftermarket fog light bulbs and after a while I realized that it was melting the plastic piece that that bulb connects to. I realized it when my light went off then when i play with the socket it turns back on which is a bad connection. I called the dealer up and asked what do I need to do and he told me that I need to change the whole entire wire that connects from the harness, which will run me about a grand.

I thought I'd finally move into the 21st century and jump on the mp3/bluetooth streaming wagon. Was always the traditional CD-album guy and after this, I may need to go back.
Problem is, I can't change track with the radio or steering wheel controls. Also, unlike the phone which automatically is available for use after the auto-connection happens via the car's controls, I have to manually launch the player on my phone then push play on it. Once done, music plays from the BT Audio system and when that track is complete, moves on automatically to the next one. The control of pausing, playing, skipping tracks does not work via the car (steering and audio controller) and is ONLY possible from the phone which defeats the purpose of a hands-free driving experience.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Android v4.3 and I've tried both Google Play Music and the native "Music" player on the device, with no luck. I have the standard Display Audio Controller (no-NAV).

When I connect a phone to my wife's Prius it pairs easily enough. The problem is, each time i start the car, it finds the phone and decides to tell the phone to start streaming music.

I have a 2002 Lexus ES330 and in the recent past, the audio is not working when I switch on the radio or the CD player. It takes a while and starts suddenly and sometimes, stops in between. How to resolve this problem?

Connected a portable XM receiver and it has power and is receiving a signal, but the only thing not working is sound. Radio says everything is connected, but no sound.

I recently got my corolla (2009) repaired and the technician said that the radio was not connected to the battery for about two weeks. Now the radio (even the backlight) won't turn on regardless of any buttons I press. All the fuses have been checked and are fine. Could this be some anti-theft mode in which something must be done to turn it back on.

2003 Ford Crown Victoria with only 49K miles. This was my great aunt's and this car sat a lot(no garage) She has passed and I need to sell but the radio won't play. CD and cassette are fine. Radio station appears on display but all I get is static. If I wiggle the wires on the back windshield I get reception sometimes but not often. I have taken wires off and cleaned terminals but that did not improve reception at all.

I just picked up a 2006 GS300 AWD and wanted to setup my phone to stream Google Play Music through the bluetooth to the head unit... Is this possible? Or am I going to have to hack into the back wires like I did with my ES300 in order to setup an AUX line and connect a bluetooth adapter?
