Music Via Bluetooth On Avensis 2009 Tourer 2.0L D4D Diesel

[Siddu_j143]

Hi There,

I am fairly new to the Toyota, bought an Avensis 2.0L D4D diesel car a couple of days and am already into troubles. I have got a standard audio device OEM Part Code : 86120-05150 or unit name:W53828 and I have a Samsung galaxy S4. I am not able to figure out how to play music via bluetooth, however I am able to connect it to make calls and receive. I have spent enough time on the manual and googled to see if at all I can play music but, with no luck or proper answer I am left in vain.

My question is: is it possible to play music via bluetooth on this device? if so how?

Thanks for all your help in advance.

Cheers,

Siddu

I found that I had to have the music player running on the phone before it would be picked up and play via bluetooth on the car.

Thanks GG30340 , I will give that a try today and let you know if that worked. Also, is the car radio in yours same as mine (unit name:W53828)

Hi George, no luck with that, I paired my Samsung Galaxy S4 with the car, went out of the cars bluetooth range, started the music player on my S4 and brought it into the car. The car did not pick up the songs or played the music from S4.

Somebody/Anybody/Buddy help me plsss

Sorry, just noticed your model and it is not the same as the one I had.

I had the TNS510. I had to start the music player on the phone first then select the bluetooth connection on the car and connect it to the phone music player. It never found it automatically. It was such a phaff that I rarely used it because I had an Ipod touch connected up and it worked perfectly.

When setting up a connection on your car there is an option for "phone audio" or "Phone & Media audio" if you don't select the media option the car will only connect for phone functions only and not include BT audio.

You will have to delete your current connection from both the car and the phone, then go back through the setup and pick phone/media when prompted.

Thanks George for all your help, much appreciated.

Thank you Lee, I'll give it a try today and let you know how it went. I hope I will find some success with this try.

Hi All,

Thank a ton for each and everyone who tried to help me in figuring this out. If anyone is looking at this post for a solution for the same problem, here it is: There is no way in hell you can play music via the bluetooth on this model as there is no option for playing music. You can only connect your mobile as a phone for making or receiving calls and only that. I have done a hell lot of research on Google and youtube and read loads of information from different forums and what not, I even read the complete manual of the car. I even ripped out the music system to physically look at it if I am missing on anything. Thats all and I give up now, I have wasted more than enough time on this.

Cheerios!

Its very strange, because I have no problems at all getting my Nexus 4 to hook up and play music via bluetooth! could it be the phone at fault?

[Siddu_j143]

Barry, I will be really grateful to you if you could you please check and confirm me the unit model on your car is same as mine OEM Part Code : 86120-05150 or unit name:W53828

Hi Sudhakar.

I think you have done everything possible with your combination so far, and was thorough in detailing the model number of the headunit. I cannot help you since I have a different older car and totally different setup.

Since you are very specific on what equipment you have, somebody may have the exact same stereo and phone. Maybe somebody has the same, but either does not use the equipment as you want, or if they do have not seen your post. There may be somebody who is not a member of the forum who knows!

You rightly asked the last post to confirm what stereo he has, and still waiting for a reply. If and when you get a reply, there may details of how it is achieved.

I have one suggestion. If you have the USB socket available, why don't you put you music on a USB memory stick and use that instead?

Even though I use a different bluetooth stand alone system, every phone I have used except my Sony W995 Walkman, must have the music app in standby mode. This includes Window 8.1 mobile, Sony Ericsson Xperia and Samsung Galaxy S3. You have tried Lees suggestion of re-pairing the stereo and phone.

Have you seen the following?

Good luck and check the forum. The answer may come later.

Hi Konrad,

Thanks for your reply and I really appreciate your suggestions. I was keeping the USB option as back up plan if I am not able to get to play music through the bluetooth seems like I have hit a dead end with bluetooth and should now retort to the USB. The first link in the above post has the exact pictures of my head unit model (I ripped mine open and saw the back of the head unit). If you could be kind enough and suggest me some links on how to get this done or where and what cables to buy, I would be really grateful to you.

Cheers!

Hi Sudhakar again,

If you do not have the USB cable already installed and connected, then the first place is a Toyota dealer. The next is to search eBay. Nexxia, Autoleads may supply cables for the head unit. Yatour, Connects2 and Xcarlink have USB interface kits.

Lets hope you are sorted soon.

Hi Konrad/ Anyone else who got redirected here or looking for a solution on the same problem.

After much research and googling and messaging few members, finally I bought this product http://www.connects2.co.uk/ProductInformation.aspx?id=16630

to play music off of an USB as you cannot play music via bluetooth on this head unit. Thanks a ton to Konrad with all his valuable suggestions and help.

Here are few things that I observed:

• The installation document and the technical support person told a lot of crappy useless information
• This device plays music off of an USB of size 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB but not 16GB (Tech person told a max of 4GB)
• The folders on the USB can be named anything (Tech persona and the document says the folders should ne named as CD01, CD02, CD03 etc)
• The folders can contain any files including music files (Tech person told that the folders should not contain anything else except the music files)
• The max number of folders I have on my USB are 38 and I did not test for max number the device supports (Tech person and the document says the max folders should be equivalent to the msx number of CDs your CD changer supports)
• Did not test for an SDcard as I dont have one but guess all of the above would hold good
• The Aux-in works fine than the in-built
• The steering controls all work fine for song changing, album changing, volume up and down
• The cable is more than long enough to connect it to the back of the unit and bring it down into the storage compartment. Still left with the usb extension cable
• PM me if anyone got any questions regarding this product
