Bluetooth Audio problems- new IPhone

Hi there. Wondering if anyone can help with this conundrum.

gen 3 Prius; linked my 2016 iPhone se no problem via Bluetooth/audio. Just upgraded to the new IPhone se. I can again pair the phone no problem via the ‘telephone’ menu setup. However when I go into audio—>BT—>connect, it won’t connect. So, phone calls work fine, but audio won’t link up.

I’ve tried unlinking and linking multiple times, connecting via my phone I.e. it will show as connected to car multimedia. Just can’t work out why general bluetooth works but doesn’t work with music in the audio. Does anyone have any ideas?

thanks

 

thanks for this. Will have a look at these settings

 

yes I did wonder that....I had a bit of a play around today and was struggling to get my phone to link at all. Might have to go for the aux option as you say. Slightly annoying.

 

Just bough an aux Bluetooth receiver which seemed the easiest way to solve the issue. What I don’t get is that on the cars default settings, the phone Bluetooth has one password, and on Bluetooth audio (same device Id) it has a different password? Needless to say I tried setting them up as both the same and it still doesn’t work. In terms of compatibility my phone connects up fine no problem. When I then try and connect my phone as a portable player (again in the settings it has my phone as the portable player), no joy.

 

Actually managed to figure this out. I needed to remove my existing two registered devices in the bt audio settings (an old phone, plus my 2016 iPhone se- this is what threw me, as they are both called the same thing for discoverable devices so I thought it was referring to my new phone) . Once I did this, I could register my new device and all sorted.
