Lexus LS 2007+ :: Can't Stream Music Via Bluetooth / Portable Player Not Able To Connect
Jul 21, 2015
So I'm trying to stream music via bluetooth using my Android phone with my LS460. My phone is a LG G2.
The past few months when I started it up it's been saying "portable player was not able to connect" or something along the lines of that. I recently had my GPS maps updated to the new 2014 maps so maybe that messed with something. Anways, I tried to go to the audio settings and getting it to connect, but it keeps failing. Telling me to "please check the settings of the audio player" When I try to connect it says that it is connecting to "Huawei-M860" I don't have any Huawei devices, I'm assuming that's the bluetooth audio module? or something along that lines.
By the way the bluetooth works for calls with my phone. I canmake/receive them with no problem. How do I fix this so that I can stream music from my phone via blueooth?

I noticed that when I active BT on my phone it connects to my cars phone BT automatically. But has a harder time when I try to connect to the portable audio player to stream music. I have to turn off the BT on my phone and turn it back on and then hit the "connect" button for the audio player and it works. Then I have to go back to the phone screen and hit connect again.

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?

I currently drive a 2006 BMW 325i, so the tech is not impressive compared to modern cars. I have to plug in the AUX to listen to Google Music, the Bluetooth only works for phone. I'm not familiar with Android Auto and it's not included in the Prius, so I guess that doesn't matter. Can I stream Google Music via the Bluetooth in the 2016? It might be a silly question, but I am a little car ignorant.

I have no problem connecting my Iphone 4 to the car for making calls. Everything on that end works! I just can't seem to get my music to stream. Was able to get my wife's iPhone 4 to stream but can't figure out how we did it. I cleared here phone out and just trying to figure out mine.

I just picked up a used 2006 Prius today and it has bluetooth.... I paid the phone, but I have two questions.
1) is there a way to stream music using this built in bluetooth?
2) The Prius was asking me to SEND my contacts phonebook over to it.... but I don't see an option on my android phone for this...

I have a 2007 GS 350. A week ago, I deleted my iPhone from the memory in my Lexus. I tried to add it again, but I am unable to do so. After I click 'Register' on the screen (car), I then click the 'Device' which says 'Not Paired' until I push the device on the phone. As soon as I select the device, the vehicle screen disconnects the setup process.

I have the radio with all the bells and whistles, and SYNC. I can't get any mp3 player to work or any portable device to work. I do have the usb port and line in port right on the front of the radio. When I push the MEDIA button I do not have a "line in" choice on the left as it say it should in the book. Is there something I am missing???? Oh and this is a 2009 F-350

I have a 2012 elantra limited with navigation package. My iPhone 4 will only connect and stream pandora for exactly 15 seconds then it will stop streaming to the car. The phone is not plugged in and I am just trying to get the Bluetooth to work properly. It connects and disconnects constantly. I have reset my phone but it will only stream for that short period of time. Is there a setting I need to do?

Can you connect multiple phones to the infotainment system at once? If so, can I specify which one should be used for the app suite? Reason I ask is because my work phone has unlimited data so I figure why burn the data on my personal cell ...

Experienced low volume on car while streaming music thru Bluetooth via your smart phone. I usually like to listen to my music at a moderate loud setting, volume cranked up between 35-40 depending on the type of music. Apparently even at volume set between 35-40 it still sound very low, but suddenly volume goes up when I received a txt message or email on my phone. I've tried messing with all the settings on the car and my phone. Even restore default settings in my car and phone. Problem still there.

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.

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.

I just leased a 2013 ES 350 (love the car BTW):
Play a song via Bluetooth on your cell phone through the car audio, turn the car off, restart the car and the Bluetooth song gets reset to the beginning and does not resume.
In two rental cars I had previously, they both resumed from the point the song left off so I know this option is common out there. Perhaps this is because of the synchronization that occurs every time you connect the Bluetooth?

I've been using Soundcloud (android) to stream music to the car and everything was going well until a couple days ago.
Whenever I touch the volume controls (steering wheel and center console) it always restarts the song that's playing (the volume does change but the song just restarts). Sometimes I inadvertently use the car volume controls and the song just resets!!

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).

So I am pretty sure my factory head unit will stream Via Bluetooth from my iPhone or my android, it's pairing with the car for the phone feature.
However it won't let me stream music, there is an Icon on the stereo but it doesn't do anything.

I want to connect my digital music player (a Cowon iAudio 9) to my 2005 Prius (with JBL stereo and NAV). I want better sound than a cassette adapter or FM transmitter, and ideally I'd like to control it via steering wheel buttons and Prius touchscreen (and to see track info on it).

I have a Sprint HTC Hero. It worked fine on my Prius. I upgraded the phone from Android 1.5 to 2.1. I thought all was OK because the phone would connect to the car. The problem is that when I make a call or someone calls me everything looks OK until someone talks. Nothing. No voices. I can't hear the other person and they can't hear me.
