    Hello,
    I have a 2019 TRD with the premium audio package. The sub works great and sounds amazing through XM, but there's no sub at all through Bluetooth. It doesnt matter if I use HD pandora, download the sound in HD ahead of time or use spotify. There's no base from the sub at all. I looked through my phone settings and can't find anything, does anyone have an idea of something I can try?

    Thanks!

    Edit:
    I just found these options but I have no clue what they mean lol

    The Bluetooth AVRCP shouldn't change the audio so we can cross that off

    As for the Audio codecs, I'm assuming when "use system selection" is checked, the radio is trying to pick the audio streaming codec itself, and our radios are very dumb.

    I'd just trey each of those options and see what happens

    Great, I'll give that a shot after work.

    If that doesn't work, do you have any other ideas of what I can try? I wish I could wire it up like Android Auto, the audio quality has always been fantastic when I've tried it in the past.

    Yeah unfortunately bluetooth audio (in our trucks especially) is awful quality.

    As far as other ideas, let's cross our fingers and hope one of the different audio codecs works

    For me, the bluetooth sounds better than my Sirius radio..and I with there was an easy sub swap using the stock amp on my JBL stereo as it totally lacks any real "oomph" to my
    ears anyways.
