This thread is from Dec 2012. Don't know what version of iOS they were working with, but I know there is a new version out since then.

I don't read a request for help or a question in your post.

Have you upgraded to latests iOS on you iPhone (what gen?) ?

I hope you get it working right because it is great when it works the way it is suposed to. I always like to start with a hard reboot (press and hold power button, right?) on any device that is giving me problems. I hope this helps.

 

Did it work before you updated the iOS?

Lots of people are having connectivity issues with iOS 6.1.1

I have no problems with an iPhone4 with iOS 5.1.

One thing I learned from owning several iPhones is to NOT update the iOS right away. Monitor the Apple Supports Forums for a while before updating.

 

I have a Samsung Galaxy III........works hands-free like a charm.

 

Cheap droid with years-old OS rev works fine.

Can't imagine why Toyota wouldn't test the heck out of an iPhone as they were the market leader during development. But lots of posts about trouble with iPhones leads me to suspect the phones.

 

I have an iPhone 4 and the Bluetooth works like a charm. It works great on the original iOS and the latest (I bit the bullet and upgraded after 2 years).

I do have to give it a couple of minutes for the Bluetooth to sync.

 

I had both a Droid X Android phone by motorola... and just upgraded to an iPhone 5 with latest iOS update...
which I was a little hesitant to do given the problems people have been posting...

I have the v2 ... no entune - I got in the car, turned on the car, while in park - hit setup - bluetooth... went to bluetooth on my iphone - it saw the car - confirmed the pairing code... and it worked fine.

Takes about 30 seconds from starting the car to get a successful connection - (same as my android did - as the radio has to bootup, and get past its toyota logo screen, etc.)

It does usually take about a full ring before the car realizes its ringing - but everything works as it should.

I haven't played audio by phone yet - but will try that soon, need to transfer some mp3s over...

I also am doing this - while NOT tethered to the USB. strictly bluetooth only.

 

I switched to the iPhone 5 after buying my Prius. My android phone worked fine but the iPhone 5 will not allow me to answer calls through the hands free. I can make calls all day long but cannot answer them. When I push accept on the screen nothing happens and the buttons on the steering wheel won't work either. Anyone else having this problem?
