Android: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 running Kitkat 4.4.4
Until just about a week ago, my texts were delivered flawlessly to my Nav unit (no new software updates to car or phone). Now, nothing! My wife drives a Lexus SUV and uses an iphone 6 and the same thing has been happening to her, for roughly the same period of time.
I just upgraded my phone from galaxy s5 to galaxy s7. Even though on S5 my GS350 would display and read text messages, it stopped on my S7. I made my text messages work again.
1. Remove all linked phones, unpair bluetooth connection, and restart phone in SAFE mode
. (Google how to start your phone in Safe mode).
2. After pairing and connecting phone to car blue tooth in safe mode, everything transferred, all contacts, text messages, even emails.
You now can receive texts and use the available message replies.
3. Restart your phone to take out of safe more and you are all set.
I have a 2011 Prius 3 w/NAV...my last two phones (HTC Sensation/HTC One S) have been able to stream music via Bluetooth, though the HTC One S (ICS) seemed to have some connection issues (it would drop if I got a call sometimes, occasionally it wouldn't recognize music and I'd have to reboot phone etc...).. I now have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (tmobile)...I was able to hook up the phone portion, but no audio...it is the "JellyBean" os.
View 9 RepliesExperiencing a problem with Contacts transfer between the Galaxy S3 and ES with Navigation? I get 56 out of 120 and told transfer completed successfully? Galaxy S3 is on Sprint service with Jelly Bean OS.
View 14 RepliesI have text message alert set up, so when they come in it pops up on screen and I can read it or have it read to me...... But after reading is there a way to delete messages from the Info system ?
View 13 RepliesI have a new 2015 Es 350 (Great car!!). I have paired an iPhone 5s to the Nav system but have not been able to receive e-mails or Text messages on my screen. I have followed the directions but so far nothing transfers. The other iPhone features appear to be working fine. I have activated "send Notifications."
View 5 RepliesOn my 2015 ES350, when I receive a text message on my iPhone a message notification will be displayed on the dash and I can play the message content over the speakers in the car....but here's my question...while I am able to receive and "play" text message content via my entertainment system, I can't find a way to send text messages via the entertainment system...am I missing something?
View 6 RepliesI have a 2014 ES300H and just recently purchased an iPhone. Used to be an Android guy. Now I see a feature that says Auto Read Text Messages when using my iPhine. However, the car never does. I still have to ask Siri to read it. I have the feature turned on. How to get this to work?
View 7 RepliesI just bought the new pre-owned 2007 SC430. Very happy about the car performance but very frustrated in trying to set up my Samsung Note 2 with the Lexus Blue Tooth. I checked the Lexus website and found out they are not tested for compatibility. Besides, the voice commands did not work very well.

View 8 RepliesSync used to read me any test messages that came in on my Samsung Galaxy S6. But lately it doesn't do that anymore. Is there a setting that might have gotten turned off?
View 14 RepliesI didn't even know it could do this until i read somewhere that it has this capability. How do i get my text messages to pop up on my nav screen? (2015 IS 350 F Sport)

View 3 RepliesI have a droid 4, and just got a RX350. The phone and contacts paired perfectly but the text messages don't come through.
View 11 RepliesBoth the wife and I have the iPhone. Series 5. Both paired ez to the Lexus. I wanted to check out how messaging worked..so I message her while on her way to work. She said the music quit playing but didn't notice anything on the screen. Is there a setting I have to change/activate to have the message show on screen?
View 14 RepliesI had an android phone prior and everything worked great. Got calls, texts, and music streaming all working all the time.
Then I swapped over to an iPhone 6 and I can no longer see incoming text messages. I'll hear the alert through my car speakers but nothing comes up on the navi screen. I Googled and people said you have to unsync it, then resync it a few times to get it to work. But I haven't been successful.
Just purchased a new 2014.5 camry se but I'm having issues downloading my text messages from my Samsung galaxy s4. It keeps saying "Message could not be loaded."
Also, I use Waze as my GPS and I would like to have the turn-by-turn directions play through the car speakers. How to do this? Right now it's playing through the phone speakers. I can receive calls through the car bluetooth though.
Need to get a Samsung Galaxy Light to sync? I've got the Display Audio with Entune (3.1). Android version is 4.2.2. Just got the phone and synced it to Bluetooth. All the music and Pandora seems to basically work, and I can make phone calls... but the phone book doesn't sync. Except for, strangely, one contact. I've tried "refresh phone book" a few times - it shows success, but then there's just that one contact (always the same one.) Can't spot any reason that contact would be different than others.
I've found a few threads about the S4 and S3 and phonebook trouble... seemed to suggest some people have problems and some don't, but couldn't spot a solution. Never had a Samsung before so not sure if there's any significant differences in the phonebook setup between the Light and other recent Galaxies. My HTC Sensation did OK with syncing the phonebook (though the BT on that one kept freezing when using Pandora.)
For 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 have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I have it paired with the Prius V. This never fails, my calls get dropped after about a minute or a little more. I have to redial, then it happens again. Why?
View 8 RepliesJust purchased 5th Lexus. Still have 2004 SC430 & 2009 ES. On 2013 ES350, would like to have IPhone linked for phone only and a Samsung S4 linked as the music player. IGoal is to have both devices active at same time - one as phone and second for music.
