Newb question about stock stereo setup

By all means laugh at this post. Your ridicule is well deserved and will only make me a stronger person
I'm trying to setup bluetooth on a stock deck (A518A9). The manual has pages devoted to navigating the setup menus, but nothing on how to open the damn thing (the menu, that is). I don't have steeri g wheel controls for voice input, and I'm hitting a wall. I feel ashamed

 

what year is your truck? Mine is a 2013 and it has a setup button on the bottom right on the unit (not on the screen) if i remember correctly. From then you go into the bluetooth setup.

 

Mine's 2011. No setup button that I can see. Suppose I should have posted a pic

 

Yes a picture will help. Are you sure that the 2011s have bluetooth?

 

Has a mic on the dash and the call button next to the aux input

 

Posted a reply with a pic, but it's not showing up on the thread. I'll try again

 

My 2011 Sport had bluetooth. I thought all TRD had steering wheel controls.

 

I have stereo controls, but no phone controls

 

I could be wrong, but I don't think that has Bluetooth?

 

Has mic and call button for hands-free. Would that work sithout bluetooth?

 

That looks aftermarket to me.

 

Ok. That would make sense. It's hooked up to the stereo and seems to work, but I can't pair my phone

 

That looks like the Toyota blu logic aftermarket bluetooth. Here is the part number: PT923-00111 and try this for instructions: http://www.manualslib.com/manual/532951/Toyota-Handsfree-Communication.html#manual

 

Ok, thanks for the info, bear. I still can't get it to pair, but maybe i can find some troubleshooting tips from other users

 

If the blu logic is already paired to another phone, of course not yours, then it wont pair to yours. Try to reset it back to factory. I think if you push and hold the talk button for 15 secs. and let go, it should beep 4 times. Then try to pair your phone.

 

I tried that, but I never get the 4 beeps

 

I'm not even 100% certain you even have Bluetooth with that model head unit. I have the jbl w/ steering wheel controls and I have Bluetooth. It's activated via the steering wheel controls.

 

I was wrong, not all TRD has Bluetooth. My 2011 had JBL as well but our 2009 prerunner trd did not have Bluetooth and steering wheel controls.
