Avensis B9010 bluetooth

[TheTechGuy]

Hi all, recently I've just purchased an Avensis 08 T180 with the B9010 radio in it.

I managed to connect my iPhone via bluetooth but when answering a phone call, i can hardly hear. The talking looks like is coming from the passenger's side speaker. The volume level is at max but still very low volume. Has anyone had a similar issue and is there anyway to improve the volume? Any answers are much appreciated.

The B9010 doesn't have bluetooth. You must have an after-market module or was it supplied by Toyota? My setup has a 3.5mm jack into a Yatour unit which provides the bluetooth feed. If yours is similar it would suggest the wiring for one of the channels has failed if the signal only comes out of  the left side.

Hi Gazza and thanks for your reply. To be fair I'm not too sure what it has fitted. I just followed the instructions on the manual supplied by Toyota to connect my phone to the car. Perhaps the radio has nothing to do with my phone I'm not sure about that. When the phone rings, the music stops and to answer i have to press the up arrow which is under the (+) on the steering wheel. Not sure if the connection has anything to do with the radio.

You need to adjust the volume of the device when connected to Bluetooth. I did this with my phones during the setup and testing process. The bluetooth volume is independent of the other volumes headphone/speaker/system/alerts) on the phone i use - Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo and Nokia Lumia 625. It was the same what ever car stereo or bluetooth system used.

The other issue is that the system is using the wrong speaker. My later Mk3 T27 standard stereo with bluetooth built in, operates on the drivers speaker (right hand). I wonder if there is a setting to change yours? 

Give the Bluetooth volume a try and if I do find any info on speaker selection, I will post.
