    Hi all. I’m new on this forum so I ask for your forgiveness if this has been covered. I did a search and am not finding any information. I recently bought a 2018 1794 tundra and the first time I answered a call through Bluetooth I about cried. Is it normal that it only comes through the left front speaker? I’m coming from having f150s for the late 15 years of my life and have never had anything sound so terrible. When I play ,shiv through Bluetooth it sounds fine and co es through all speakers. If that’s “normal” is 5er anything I can do to correct this? What have other bought to fox this? Thank you all for your help. By the way..... I love the truck. The fit and finish is hands down better than any of the king ranch f150s I have owned.

    Mine seems to only come through that 1 speaker too, but it doesn’t sound that bad.

    My 2020 Bluetooth sounds fine with my iPhone. I'm not sure what to say about that issue. Welcome to the forum though!

    That’s just the standard Toyota sound. My wife’s Highlander also sounds like crap.

    I remember when I bought my tundra one of the first things the salesman wanted to do is match my Iphone to the Bluetooth, when I took my first call after I bought it it sounded horrible, that was the only call I’ve ever done on my tundra, I think it’s because I’m a musician and that I always am looking for a good clean sound, but those phone calls in my tundra using the Bluetooth are never going to happen, now I need to upgrade the stereo system without it costing me an arm and a left nut..haha

    It's not the best but should't be too bad. Under phone or Bluetooth ( I can't remember off hand) you can change the settings for a phone call. The speaker output, MIC sensitivity input, Ringing volume, call volume.
    Playing with those might get you closer to where you are looking to be. A lot of people immediatley go to their phone and try to increase volume or play with it their. But digging through setting on your stock head unit should improve quite a few things.
