2007 Avensis D4d Tr Bluetooth Woes

[tubbletrouble]

Hello,

Recently bought a 2007 TR D4D 2, 0 Avensis,
Please accept my apologies, for my terminology; I am no motoring expert...

The head unit is a B9010 with single European CD/DVD and plays CD ok and the Navigation system works as expected.

I would be grateful if someone could help shed some light on the bluetooth SWC side of things...

After holding down the mode button, I am getting no audible prompts at all.

I think it might be a fuse or something, might hunt around behind the air con / climate control to see what lurks there.
Hopefully bluetooth module...

Can anyone please advise, does the B9010 Head unit have a bluetooth Settings Menu?
I think normally accessible after pressing the Info Button.

The Bluetooth system is not working from the when I bought the vehicle, no Bluetooth devices when I scan from my Htc Phone
and I thought before I forked out on a replacement / or aftermarket unit, I thought I would try and get the factory fitted unit working.

A point in the right direction would be greatly received

Many Thanks
Paul

I had a 57 plate TR & I don't remember it having bluetooth ... think that there was an optional module?

2007 TR did not have bluetooth, well mine certainly did'nt.

I'll bet that '46 BSA B32 didn't have bluetooth on it either. Or USB or a headphone socket!

Interesting...

I assume then some one along the line of 3 previous owners must have had a go at fitting bluetooth,

After some time on the interweb googling around and a few documents / photo's showing possible locations,

I did manage to locate two boxes underneath and behind the Air Con / Climate Control's, a black box marked steering control and a blue box which I think mayne is the bluetooth module.

The short loom between the two boxes seemed in quite good condition, but seems like a few severed cables from the black box (steering control unit) to the B9010 head unit, and a redwire lurking around...near a 20 pin ATX type plug ...

Well its getting a bit dark here in midlands, better call it a night, Ill have another crack at this tommorow maybe...

Thank you every one for your replies...

You know your bikes Tom, absolutely spot on

The '46 was a guess, I could see the rigid frame, knew the plungers came out in '49, but the alloy engine threw me a bit. Thought the earlier ones were cast iron. With classic bikes better to make a guess for older. Looks in cracking nick

Search "avensis grom" on eBay. The supplier provides a range of items with bluetooth which are compatible with the Sat Nav unit fitted to your vehicle.

The seller is very helpful but a you can see the units aren't cheap,

A few years ago I installed a basic 3.5mm mp3 grom unit and later added a Kinivo btc450 to provide the bluetooth connectivity.

Hello again,

And thanks to all that commented or replied...

And like I said in my last post I managed to locate two boxes underneath the B9010 Head Unit and behind the Air Con / Climate Control's,
A black box marked steering control and a blue box which I think is the bluetooth module....

So after much cable checking, I managed to repair the damaged cables and replaced a single 5amp spade fuse that had blown
I plugged all cables back into the both boxes and the head unit,

Powered on and after about 1-2 minutes of Navi system loading, the familiar Navigation Warning appeared on the screen
I proceeded to check if head unit was working ok, and all seemed well, after pressing the Mode button
An audible warning about the bluetooth and call settings.

And I was also surprised after pressing the Info button, a selection of new icons for bluetooth settings
These icons were not present before I repaired the cables?
I was able to navigate around the Bluetooth settings, but was not able to set any of the functions.
I turned the head unit off and back on again and the Bluetooth menu now disappeared.

a few attempts at the info button but still no bluetooth menu.

A few pictures showing the Sat Nav b9010 and steering control and bluetooth boxes..

Any one familiar with the B9010 Head Unit and the two boxes behind the Air Con / Climate Control's,
A black box marked steering control and a blue box which I think is the Bluetooth module....
