Bluetooth/Phone issues

[czirkle]

I really like my 2024 Tacoma, except for continual Bluetooth connection problems. Virtually every time I get in the truck, I have to connect the phone. I have reset my account, deleted my phone and re-linked it, made sure the android version on the phone is current - tried every trick in the book, and it will not consistently connect. Another thing that is curious, if my wife gets in the truck with me, the system defaults to her Iphone over my android. It is frustrating - my 2013 Tacoma connected 99.9% of the time with no issues (with the same phone I have now). Anyone else experience this, or have any suggestions?

99.9% I have zero issues and it connects right away over wireless and AA starts loading up. Twice now I've had a rare glitch where everything looks like it's working but the audio from call will not come through over the speakers. So far the only way I have found to reset this condition is a total shutdown of the truck (and opening door to kill ACC) for a few minutes. Got a suggestion from someone else to force press the volume button to reboot the head unit but haven't had it happen again yet to try that approach.

In our other car (different brand) we get regular connectivity issues any time the phone installs a security update or AA update. But we've learned that a reboot of the phone itself before trying to reconnect usually resolves it.

at least once a week I have to go into the menu and tell it to use the phone for android auto again.
