    For whatever reason my Tacoma won't connect to Bluetooth audio on my phone anymore. (Samsung Galaxy S9) It will connect as a phone but always says can't connect to Bluetooth audio. It used to do it but not anymore. Did I do something wrong or is this a common problem?

    Various folks with different phones/OS have had different issues with BT and phone connectivity over time. Most seem to resolve by deleting the phone from your vehicle, and repairing. Could be the result of an update on your phone, but not necessarily.

    Try going to audio settings then back to the app or audio source.
    This tricks my trucks head into playing bt audio when it wasnt before.

    I had to do this when my phone updated to Android 10, I was having a similar issue except mine wouldn't connect to Bluetooth at all. Deleting it and re-adding it on the head unit fixed it.
