Bluetooth Issues - iphone (recent problem) - 2020 tacoma

Hi all,

Really only starting in 2021 - not sure if its coincidental - i have begun having issues with my bluetooth and my phone. Whenever I connect, no problem, everything is fine. as soon as an app is opened on the phone (seems like any type of app) - the native software on the truck displays "phone call in progress" on the screen and that i am on the phone with myself. Clicking "end" on the screen does nothing, and there is no call to end on the phone.

I tested it in carplay as well; it will pop me out of carplay and put up the phone call in progress screen. The only way to end it and get back to music or whatever is to dsiconnect bluetooth. If i reconnect it, it will continue the issue.

Any experience or thoughts?

 

What SW version is your phone on? I saw there’s an update to 14.3 on my phone but I haven’t done it yet. Could very well be due to the SW version

 

14.3, thats a good thought though.

 

Yup. Definitely could be due to the 14.3

 

I had an odd moment in my truck this morning where it called me from myself after upgrading to 14.3 as well. Thanks for this post.

I just hung up and got a little freaked out haha. Only happened the one time and CarPlay still worked.

 

Yeah, it’s annoying more than anything. It’s not like I’m frequently in my phone while driving, but if it was open to say Twitter before I left, if I unlock the phone it happens.
Anyways hopefully that’s all it is.
