Bluetooth connects but no audio

I'm having the same problem as primal_G. I checked the bluetooth volume and that's not the solution.

 

Have you found a solution because my 2014 prius started doing the same thing recently. I tried connecting another phone and no sound from that one either. I did everything mentioned in the above post with no avail, plus I upgraded the prius radio to the latest firmware. Still no music. Bluetooth connects for phone only. The ipod works for music, just no music for bluetooth.

 

Same here. I've done everything that's been recommended. What to do? Wait for the next ios update? Everything else seems to work fine, i.e. other bluetooth devices.

 

Check your phone under bluetooth settings if "music" has been disabled. If it is, no music won't be transmitted thru the car's bluetooth audio system. There should also be "phone" that can be disabled so phone calls won't pass thru the car's bluetooth audio.

 

Apple is pretty spotty when doing updates and using newer phones with our radios. Samasungs are even worse. Try going into diag mode and see if there are any codes current.

 

Solved.

This was all about the airplay button. If you have this problem, you can't ignore airplay, as I did, just because you don't think you ever could have changed anything on it.

How this worked out: Pulled my stitcher app up so I could see the bottom row. Found the airplay button - I can't post a link, but google the word and look for images. Pressed that button and found that the volume was way down.

How did this happen? Oh well, never mind.

 

Thanks for the suggestion. After unpairing and repairing my iPhone X from my 2012 Prius Plug-in Hybrid, I read your suggestion. The volume on my iPhone X was turned all the way off.

 

Hi there. I was having the same issue after going in to the dealership and their very easily finding a way To connect my phone with my 2016 Prius, Which, for years, it had not been playing through my speakers ever since I upgraded to an iPhone XS max plus. Before that I had an iPhone 8 plus It worked for the last couple of weeks and then today all of a sudden it didn’t work. But I found “CarPlay” in general settings on my iPhone. All it says to do is hit that button on your steering wheel that has a person talking icon on it and then somehow your phone will start playing through your car. Hope that helps. It worked for me. Of course that’s once you realize for sure that you are connected through Bluetooth both on your phone and in the car.

 

I’ve been driving around for months like this too and tried everything. Went to the Apple store and they told me to go to the Toyota dealership. Before I did that I tried again & it finally worked!

I went to:
SETUP
AUDIO
BLUETOOTH AUDIO SETTINGS
BLUETOOTH AUDIO (the first thing on the list)
Click REGISTER
And it paired right away.

 

What year is yours? I have a 2013 Persona. I've been dealing with this for the 3 years I've owned it and nothing works. What you described above is not an option on mine.
