    Hi. Is anyone else having problems with their iPhone 6 and Bluetooth? I didn't have any problems pairing mine, but if I place a phone call by dialing with my phone or a phone call comes in it only pauses my sound system and makes me use the handset. So basically, I've lost hands-free driving. Any suggestions?

    I'm having similar quirks with my iPhone 6 and Entune premium combo. If I get a call while listening to Pandora after hanging up it usually doesn't go back to music. I have been turning entune off and back on to fix. Just pressing the volume knob in and doing it again a few seconds later.

    I had the same issue. I had initially paired my phone going through the audio device. Try removing your phone completely, then add it back under the "Phone" settings. Worked for me. Good luck.

    Mine worked out of the box. I have not been listening to Pandora and received a call so I don't know if that works. Hands free works fine. Still push the talk button and use the voice commands to call. I'm on AT&T.

    Try checking those settings, I googled it when I first got the truck and was havin that problem and the forum post I found from another Toyota site said for some reason iPhone leaves that switched off, don't remember the specifics of the post though ie which iPhone and software update they were running, sorry... Btw u should be able to check this without actually being connected to the truck's Bluetooth

    This worked because it restarts the phone when you go to and from zoomed mode.

    IOW, try restarting your phone.

    Mine paired no problem and phone calls worked like normal. I getting texts though. Text started working today. Not sure why.

    I think if you initiate a phone call from the iPhone it will default to the iPhone speaker. You should be able to switch to the Toyota bluetooth speaker from the iPhone. Also, if you answer a call by touching the iPhone it will default to the iPhone speaker rather than the Toyota bluetooth speaker. You can switch back to the Toyota bluetooth speaker using the iPhone.

    originally my iphone 5s (ios 7) calls would automatically default to the toyo bluetooth speaker, now (same 5s iphone on ios8) will default to the iphone speaker with incoming calls and i have to hit the handset button on the HU or on the phone. not exactly hands free anymore.
