Prius v Two and iPhone 4S story

3. Use Siri. (or in the case of an iphone 4, hold the home button until voice command pops up and say "play artist Lady Gaga", "play album The White Album", "shuffle", or "genius".)

4. I'm the opposite. I'd be annoyed as hell if I had to hit play/pause each time I got in the vehicle to hear the bluetooth. Do you have to hit play to start a CD if that was the last source? Do you have to hit play on the FM radio if that was the last source? Why would they make it different for the bluetooth?

6. I believe that this is when you initially set up the phone. If you select Audio on the initial setup, it sets up the audio profile. You can set it up as phone only, too, but it isn't something you can change on the fly.

7. Bluetooth streaming on the base entune unit shows album artwork as well. Not sure about display audio, though I recall it was the same from when I test drove a Prius v Two.

8. I'm not sure that Apple allows you to access the home button via bluetooth. Walled garden and all that. With the number of android units out there and having a different way to activate everything, it probably wasn't a practical consideration in the first place. Again, as I suggested above, just use the button on the phone. I'm sure there is a place handy that you can place the phone where it is within reach. Siri will use the bluetooth microphone to pick up your voice, so you don't need to actually pick up the phone to your mouth when you instruct her. I haven't used Siri much, but don't you generally have to look at the phone to get the results anyway?

 

Here is my iphone 4 (w/ iOS5) bluetooth synced to the base Entune unit in a '12 4Runner.



The screen is a little washed out because it was dark. It looked a good bit better in person.

 

I think you are missing the point that bkman is pointing out. You are using the Rav4 head unit, which isn't the same as the head unit in Prius v 3 or 5 ATP.

 

I had album art when I connected my iPhone 4 to a Prius v during a test drive. I don't remember if I was in a Two or a Three but I clearly remember the album art. I should have snapped a pic.

 

Do you folks with album art over bluetooth have a tethering plan on your ATT account? Most of us cannot stream any metadata and cannot browse in any way when streaming over bluetooth. I'm told it's a tethering issue... (along with crippled data over bluetooth)

 

I don't recall being able to browse music over the bluetooth. If you look at the picture I took, "more like this" and "browse" appear to be grayed out where you cannot select them. (BT iPhone 4, no tethering plan)

It'd be great if people could take some pictures or video of the different modes. My v 5 w/ ATP hasn't arrived yet, else I would. All the Entune demos focus on Bing and Pandora but non seem to demo using the iPod function on the iPhones.

 

It looks like you can view album art on the display audio unit in a V three using an iphone 4s connected via bluetooth. I do not have tethering.

OK, I was testing this out, and I do appear to have album art over bluetooth, but no browsing of music. Here is my photo...

 

That isn't a "bug". That was a programming decision.

A bug is when I was using display audio (basically same as Prius v Two) in a '12 Camry LE last week and had the phone connected via bluetooth and USB at the same time -- I needed to charge the phone. On USB mode, the music was "playing", but there was no music coming from the speaker. If I kicked over to BT connection, I could hear the music. This only seemed to happen when I was plugged in when I started the car instead of plugging in after I'd started the car.

 

Or disconnect BT music device. It will still detect a call, and you can listen to music via USB.

 

Interesting. My v5 w/ ATP should be here in <3 weeks, so hopefully I'll get a chance to really see what all you can do w/ the Entune. Some of the voice commands seem pretty slick.

 

I'm in a v Two, but there are two separate BT connections for the iPhone. One is for telephone, the other for music source. You can disable the music source without affecting the telephone.

 

I was trying to do the same thing by killing the Audio BT Connection. Right now what I am doing is manually going to the music app on the phone and changing the output from BT to dock every time I load it into the car

 

You don't do it on the phone. You do it through the car.
