Lexus RX 2010-15 :: IPhone 4S Stopped Communicating Through NAV System


Jun 16, 2015

My iPhone 4S stopped communicating through the NAV system last week. I could still call out using voice commands but I could not be heard or hear the other person.

Went to Dealership yesterday thinking something in the car broke and after an hour of testing was told that the phone was too old. Apparently Apple updates the phone's OS from time to time, and this time it broke the Lexus NAV system to phone link.

So I went out and upgraded the 4S to a 6. Now it works again, so Lexus Tech was right, it was an Apple OS upgrade that must have happened a week ago.

I wonder if Lexus will now remove the 4s from its "compatibility" list.

Camry :: Paired IPhone 4 To Bluetooth - Speech Command System Stopped Working

My dad just purchased a 2010 Toyota Camry and once we paired my iPhone 4 to the Bluetooth system, the speech command system stopped working.

Did something go wrong during the process? The bluetooth system is working perfectly fine as in the music will play as well as receiving phone calls. However, when I want to pair a second phone to the system, the speech command system wont work and it would just take the screen to the start with it saying "welcome". Normally, it would take you to the setup of pairing a phone, but this time it takes me back to the "welcome" part when you start the car.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Navigation / Audio System Joy Stick Stopped Working While Driving

I have a 2013 RX350 AWD, purchased new about 8 months old. Today for the first time, the navigation/audio system joy stick stopped working while I was driving. The display froze and then had just lines of pixels and very small font. Moving the joy stick had no effect. There was also no map displayed. The display was basically "messed up".

Once I got home, I turned of the car and then restarted. The display and joy stick was fine. I never saw this in all 8 months I've had the car. I am just about to schedule my 10,000 service.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Car Downloads All Contacts From IPhone Not Just Used Ones

My wife has a new 2015 RX and in setting up the IPhones phones the contacts were downloaded. The problem is that we both have some of the same contacts and now we have many duplicates. Is there a way around this?

I wondered if I deleted both phones then added one with contacts, then turned off automatic downloads and added the second phone. Probably come up short a few contacts but better than a mess of dupes. It also appears that the car downloads ALL contacts from your IPhone and not just the groups you may be using.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: IPhone 5s - How To Enable Bluetooth For Playing Music

I have a '10 with NAV. iphone 5S. Bluetooth enabled on phone and syncs to car. Phone calls work great.

On the Radio function, there is a BT (among others) tab, however mine is greyed out. AUX tab lights up with the cable plugged into the port in the black hole and my phones headphone port. Whether this cable is plugged in or not, the BT tab is never accessible. My wife has a '13 Venza with NAV same iPhone and she can play music through her phone wireless, selecting the BT tab.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: RX350 3rd Gen Firmware / IPhone 5 - Bluetooth Sluggish

I have a 2010 RX350. Using my iPhone 5 with the bluetooth in the car is a little hit and miss/sluggish. When hitting the button for Siri, the car seems to struggle with the process.

I am curious if the firmware for the car is current... and if not, does a more current firmware update the bluetooth for better functionality. I haven't had it updated for almost 2 years. I do have navigation.

Lexus GX 2010+ :: 2014 GX460 And IPhone - Incoming Texts No Longer Synced

I have a 2014 GX 460 and when I had the iPhone 5 the car used to "read" aloud the incoming text messages. This was a fabulous feature. Well, I just got the iPhone 6 and while it synced to the car easily, it no longer reads my incoming texts.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: RX350 / IPhone 4s Bluetooth Connection Randomly Drop During Call

I have an iPhone 4S that connects to the car fine. The problem is that it randomly drops bluetooth during a call. It does repair after random periods of time. My only guess is the phone because the iPhone 4 I just traded in never had this issue. I have tried deleting the pairing from both the car and phone without any luck.

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: A/C System Stopped Cooling

Ok, a year or two ago, a small leak in our 04 GX470 prompted me to have an a/c guy recharge system (little did I know how easy it was to do). At the time, he used his blacklight (during the day) and "thought" the condenser might have a leak in it.

Fastforward to now, the system stopped cooling. There isn't any noise from the compressor and the clutch does seem to engage normally.

I went to Autozone and rented the DVD on A/C systems. Using the gauges, I found there was no pressure on the H or L sides. I replaced the condensor (a no brainer ... it even came filled with desiccant/drier though I had to return it since the condenser didn't have the plugs in place so the desiccant/drier would have likely been 'wet' already ... no problem). I noted a very slight grainy, metallic in the system, but not very significant ... I did not flush any hoses, but I did look at all visible hoses for dye stains.

I connected a vacuum pump and kept it a 30mm Hg vacuum for 30 min and rechecked it 30 min later to see that it held the vacuum. The first time, it didn't, so I rechecked my connections and repeated. It seemed to work. I charged the system with 24 oz (27-29 is capacity so I wasn't quite full) and the system was nice and cold.

Unfortunately, cool only lasted 3-1/2 days!

The original condenser plug (for the desiccant reservoir) was plastic or teflon, but the one that came with my replacement was Aluminum. A replacement desiccant bag also came with another plug (a plastic or teflon one), but it seemed to strip so I opted for the metal one anyway (besides, it had two green 'O' rings to just one 'O' ring for the plastic one.

Two days ago, I thought I'd got it to hold the vacuum in the system, recharged it again (I dried the desiccant bag in the oven for 5 hours at 175 deg F to make sure I'd gotten rid of any moisture that had developed).

Dog gone it, it's hot again! Looking at it with my black light at night, I do see dye (I'm using the yellow kind) at the L-side Schrader valve and on the plug to the desiccant compartment, but no where else. Where's the drip line for the condensate so I can check to see if there's a leak in the evaporator?

I tried wrapping some teflon tape around the metal plug for the desiccant/drier, but it still wouldn't hold a vacuum when I tried using the pump tonight.

I have another dessicant/drier bag and plug arriving tomorrow since I'm afraid that it still could just be leaking out the base of the condenser, but I'm not sure.

I was driving, when out of the blue my car went into neutral, and the dashboard lit up. Then all of a sudden the light stayed on "check hybrid system". I pulled over to side of road. AAA towed me.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: IPhone Speakers Shifts To Car Speakers During Call

My iPhone 4s shifts from car (Lexus 350RX 2012) speaker to phone speaker and back constantly when I'm on a call. I have erased the pairing between the phone and the car and repaired it, I have also reset the phone to no avail. Lexus says my car firmware is up to date. It has to do with Bluetooth AVRCP 1.4 compatibility.

Prius (Gen 3) :: 2010 Slow Down And Stopped - Check Hybrid System Error

So I bought a 2010 Prius IV from a nearby dealership today. I had test driven it twice before buying, but when I was taking it home I got the error "Check Hybrid System," and the car slowed to a stop. I had to call the dealership to come tow it back and it's being serviced right now. I'm mostly venting, but also more than a little concerned. I checked the orange clip/wire in the back and it was connected properly. What this could be and how big of an issue it really is?

Golf/GTI VI :: System Won't Let Choose Playlist Attached With IPhone

I know the MDI is not perfect and a lot of people have voiced complaints and possible fixes to this, but I'm really disappointed how my iPhone 4 and iPod (4th Gen) work with my GTI. The car comes with an iPod cable, so you know they meant the interface to happen.

What gets me is that when I get in to the car, turn it on, plug my iPhone into the cable and go to Media to play it, it starts with the very first song in my library no matter what I had it on before. And then it won't let me choose a playlist...it will just play the first song again. I can skip to the next track, but I can't choose anything out of Selection. I have to unplug phone, plug it back in and then I can choose anything. If I stop the car and turn it on again shortly after, it shows the song is playing but no volume. My software on both the phone and HU are up to date.

I tried using my iPod and it works a little better. When I plug it in it plays what I left it on, but if the car is turned off and turned back on, it goes to the first song in the library. I know using Bluetooth is easy, but I want to control it with the steering wheel or the touch screen. It shouldn't be this hard.

Gen 2 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Can't Connect IPhone With AUX System

I bought a fully loaded 2004 Prius last summer with Navigation and bells and whistles. (I love it - even with 110,000 miles!) At the time I had a 3G Iphone (AT&T) and the bluetooth worked for phoning and the cord that came out of the compartment under the stereo worked for me to plug in my phone and play music. Of course there was no music display and I had to get the music going first and I couldn't view it at all while it was plugged in. (Meaning if I wanted to see the song or change to a new playlist I had to unplug it.) But nonetheless I was STOKED to have my iphone music playing. It also charged my phone.

A few months I upgraded to an Iphone 4S, and now when I plug my phone in I can't play ANY music!! (Bluetooth for phone works fine.)

Questions:

1. So I always assumed the cord came with the Prius although I guess the first owner could have put it in? Do that model came with one?

2. Most importantly: How can I play music from my 4S phone the simplest easiest way.....

Lexus LS 2007+ :: Sound System Stopped - Loud Thumping Noise Comes Up

The sound system in my 2008 LS 460 suddenly stopped and a loud thumping noise comes up in all speakers even if the radio is turned off. There is no music at all only that loud noise. Bluetooth does not work as well as command voice and the GPS guiding system. I had to remove the fuse to stop the thumping sound. To answer my telephone I must pull on the side of the road and turn off the motor. Car dealership said that it is the first time they see that. The car is scheduled to be looked at in a couple of days.

Gen 2 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: 2005 JBL Sound System - Connecting IPhone To Stereo

2005 Prius with Premium JBL sound system with CD Changer, tape Deck, etc. package 6 with Navigation.

Since it's a 2005 no USB input for my iPhone 4s to play music. I often stream pandora or music that's stored on my phone.

So far I have been connecting my iPhone with cassette adapter to headphone jack. The audio pretty much sucks through this method and FM transmitters are even worse!

What is the best way to connect iPhone 4s to my Prius stereo? What exactly is DICE and how good is the Audio Quality?

I do not use CD change at all! Is changer connected to an Aux. input that I can switch out for a USB input?

Can I just swap out my unit for a later model with USB input? Looking for the best audio quality option.

I just upgraded my 2010 Camry XLE to the 2015 XLE Hybrid this weekend. Couple of issues... How to get the voice activated system to SEND text messages? I can receive and view them through the car display, but can't get them to respond. I get through all the prompts and then upon sending it stops and says it's not supported.

Second, what I need to get for my iPhone 6 Plus in order to use the built in Qi wireless charger that came with my car? Also, where can I get whatever it is I need to attach to my phone?
