Hi looking for help, i have a 2014 avensis active with basic stereo i have upgraded to panasonic 86140-05180 multimedia, the stereo plays fine but no gps signal or bluetooth connection, can anyone tell me what i need to get this up and running. thanks

Have you connected a GPS antenna? That is my first thought. You say there is no bluetooth to pair to. bluetooth is built into the stereo. Have you got the instructions? 

Out of interest, did your basic stereo have bluetooth? I would upgrade my older basic stereo which has Bluetooth for voice only to the later version with music playback. I would need to see the rear sockets to compare. It needs to have USB or CD changer port so I can connect my USB adapter. 

In the meantime, I will look for answers to your query.

Looking at your pics you don't appear to have the GPS module ( see ) without this there is no Nav, bluetooth is integrated in the head unit, it sounds like the head unit is looking for a previous paring have a look at the owners manual and see if you can get a new phone paired ( head unit manual )

This has been done before. Have a look at the following - 

The units might be different, but the extra sockets on the Nav units are fairly similar.

Thanks for the photos, but they are very small! 🔬😂 
Did your bluetooth on the old stereo play music and relay satnav directions from the phone? I was hoping to see clear photos of the rear sockets, as this could make my mind change my unit! The W53828 bluetooth only supports voice calls, and voice directions from iPhone and Windows phones. There is no multimedia/music support. Android phones need full multimedia Bluetooth, so only voice calls are supported. Toyota updated the basic stereos bluetooth to support multimedia. This is why I am interested.

When you got your Nav stereo, did it come with the SD card? Without the SD card, the stereo won't function properly. I think you have the SD card or the stereo would be working at all.
