Toyota Auris - Touch 2 w Go Music Bluetooth Issues

[SA_]

Hi Guys,

 

I am writing this to help anyone else who may be facing similar issues.

The issue: Car and my Pixel 8 Pro would connect fine, but wouldn't play music. The calls and everything worked perfectly. The music would never play.
Solution: "16MM_TLS_Low" update!
My phone: Pixel 8 Pro.
Car model: Toyota Auris 2014 (Mk2).
When did I solve it: 2024.

Since the beginning I was unable to play music with my Pixel 8 Pro although any other phone device (iPhone or Samsung devices) would work perfectly without any issues. But as soon as I connected with my Pixel 8 Pro (and even my earlier Pixel 6), I wouldn't be able to play the music -- it would further say `Read Error`. Although the hands-free mode of calls/receiving-calls everything worked fine. 

I went to the mytoyota portal, registered my car and my satnav and eventually went to the software update section. There I downloaded the 175MB worth of software update (which is free) and updated my car with it. All the instructions on installation of the update is mentioned in the toyota download page.

 

I hope this helps other people. I've spent two years trying to fix this with various devices. If this wouldn't have worked, I would have gone with installation of another head-unit which was expensive and last resort.
