Bluetooth no longer works. Prius v (lowercase v for the wagon) three (not III)

Check the blue tooth unchecked box and you should see your paired devices come back up.

 

Sometimes it is hard to check. Keep trying. It doesn't have anything to do with your phone.

 

I had this happen to me last summer. I first noticed it in July, It would go out for days at a time and then start working. I kept track of the days and temps to see if it was related to either of them. Even when I stopped and rebooted the car, it would work for maybe 90 seconds and then die. I started using a Garmin GPS that has the same features and that worked perfectly. I tried removing Entune to see if that was the culprit. I unpaired numerous times but nothing seem to get it work again and then all of a sudden, it would start working for several weeks.

Then October came and it was out for almost 2 weeks. I was ready to call Toyota since I had already brought it in for service with this failure. Then fall came and it hasn't failed since then. I suspect it's heat related. I suspect it will come back when it starts to get hot again bit that won't be until June or July (I'm in NH).

 

Has anyone figured this BS out? I took my car to the dealer, it spent two days in there, then they claimed MY PHONE was the cause. I am sorry- but my family uses a T-mobile phone, a Verizon Phone, an ATT phone and two Net 10 phones.... all of them worked fine until the BS started. NOW we have different ones go off at different times ( who is driving)... sometimes it comes back soon after- sometimes it just stays with the No Bluetooth items paired. "BLUETOOTH OFF". This wouldn't be as a big a deal if I did not live in a state with :Hands free" laws on the books. Another funny thing is that the EXACT SAME phones that the clowns at the local dealer tell me are the problem.... WORK GREAT WITH MY SIENNA...
Anyone have any luck at all finding a dealer who could cough and pop his head out of his butt? Mine is even further upset as we had bought the National Platinum program with our car..... and well... that means they don;t get to MILK ME for new money everytime I return. A car with 15,000 miles, and the stuff is already failing?

 

Dark,
What part are they going to replace? We also have the extended warranty and our wonderful dealer just blames it on the (5) different phones with (3) different carriers as all being the problem- NOT THE CAR. I truly need this thing to work, with the importance of speaking while driving. Again, a funny thing is we own a 2015 Sienna also- and every singe one of our phones work in that vehicle. I am getting so tired of the BS I may drive the car right through the front window of the dealers.... OOPS _ was trying to answer the phone cause bluetooth dont work.

 

I just recently had this same issue and thats what brought me to priuschat. My bluetooth was working fine until the other day when I connected my niece's phone to my car. It was still working but then it just "offed" the next day. The bluetooth lights up as well but it just continuously searches for bluetooth. This is driving me crazy. I can't even see what devices are paired with my bluetooth anymore. Those options just have all but disappeared. Also, I drive a 2015 Prius v Tri

 

My first step for Bluetooth issues is to delete/forget the pairing on my phone and vehicle and perform a fresh pairing from the Prius Bluetooth settings. I have to do this every time I use my USB Seek thermal camera and my phone asks if I want to connect to a USB device.

I don't even get the option to repair anything with my Prius anymore.

 

Do you have trim level one? That would be a fleet vehicle not for general sale to the public and depending on that fleet's specifications could very well not have Bluetooth capabilities.

Were you charging the phone when it did connect to your car? You can get some connectivity by plugging your phone via the USB port.

 

It's a trim that does have Bluetooth capabilities because I have been using it for the last 7 months. I use Bluetooth for hands free phone calls and no, my phone was not plugged in when my Bluetooth stopped working

 

Then it's off to the dealership to have it fixed under warranty.

 

Well, add me to the list. My 2013 Prius v (wagon) trim level 5 w/o atp just started this behavior 2 days ago. Bluetooth box is unchecked and no amount of pressing or pushing will "check" it. I re-started the car and Bluetooth again worked for less than a minute before switching itself off again. Has anyone found a solution for this?

 

Same problem here. Turned itself off while I was at work on day and ch=an't get the check box to turn back on- doesn't matter what software or device. Have tried all from the various devious that used to work fine but no go with anything. Sounds like a trip to the dealer ahead...
Prius v (as the thread title states, it is lowercase v for the Prius v wagon, not an uppercase V because only the liftback Prius in model year 2010 used uppercase roman numerals for model designation) 2012 - no problems at all until now. I commute in Houston (2-4 hours daily) and am driving cross country this week. This is the wrong time for this to happen. If anyone has figured it out, please let me know...

 

Mine did the same thing. Delete and repair your device and turn of messaging and contacts sharing on the device you are pairing. It will stay connected.
