    Just a question. Has anyone experienced any problems with their Bluetooth phone features. Heres what happened to me. When my Iphone 5 is connected I can dial out and receive with no problems. My issues when I try to hang up. When I try to end a call or to ignore an incoming all it doesn't work right away. This is with either the steering wheel hang up switch or with the touchscreen icon. One time I actually had to hang up with my phone. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Any suggestions. Thanks.

    Works OK for the most part. Sometimes music does not start automatically playing and hitting play does not do anything, so i have to click play on the phone.

    I killed my 5s the other day and using 5 now. No difference in functionality.

    I havent had any issues with my 2014 headunit bluetooth at all. Mine just has a slight delay to the steering wheel controls when playing music over bluetooth and skipping when using Pandora, but I think that is just the crappy service in my area.

    Delete your phone from the truck, and then delete the truck from you phone, then re-pair. I had similar issues and did this, then it worked fine ever since. Don't forget, once you reconnect everything, go in the phone on the bluetooth settings. Next to where it says Toyota Tacoma, click the like i, and make sure "show notifications" is on.

    Can you pair two different phones at the same time? I paired my smart phone to my 14 DC and the next day my Son was with me and he paired his I Phone so we could listen to his music and it was working fine. A couple of days later he was in the truck again and it wouldn't play his music, he tried to pair it again but he could see the truck in his phone but the truck wouldn't recognize his phone. Any advice or did we just get lucky the first time?

    I have an iphone 5C wife has 5S. both paired and work fine. I did have a problem similar with the 5S after the intial pairing. I couln't get her phone to connect. I did a search here and found the following procedure ,tried it and its worked fine since.

    Go into his phone, Settings>Bluetooth>Vehicle>Forget vehicle. Power phone down, restart and then re-pair. it worked for me.

    I'm having issues with my contact list, favorites list and keypad not appearing in the head unit. The last 10 caller list shows up and works fine.

    I tried doing what you said but in his I Phone we couldn't find anything that said 'forget vehicle'. We tried adding his phone/I Pod (5S) to it with my phone already paired to it but it came up with a message that the current device had to be deleted to add another. When we deleted my phone and added his phone/I Pod (5S) and tried to add my phone it came up with the same message about having to delete the current device to add another. Am I not doing something right (has been known to happen) or is it my Stereo?
