    I have a 2013 Tundra Lmt. and an Iphone 8. The Bluetooth works for calls but I cannot stream music through my Pandora for example. Has anyone else had a similar issue and how did you rectify it.
    Thanks.

    So you can find the BT source in your phone settings and you've confirmed you're connected? For example, when I'm in my truck, I see "Car Multi-Media" amongst the several Bluetooth sources (13' SR5 non-JBL, iPhone XR). When I initially set it up, I had the truck running and pushed the Aux button on the head unit. The car multi-media source popped up on my phone in the Bluetooth setting screen and I selected it and it connected. At the first attempt, it was a bit quirky and would not play music on Pandora immediately but after a bit of time, it activated and I was able to hear songs. You will need to turn the volume on your phone all the way up to hear the music through your speakers. If you can't connect, try rebooting your phone and then turn your truck off, then restart and turn the head unit back on to reset the connection attempt. That should work.

    @socaldiablo I confirmed that my bluetooth is linked to the truck and my iPhone. the Bluetooth and AUX tab are not highlighted and I am unable to choose that tab.
    Yet I can still make and
    receive calls via Bluetooth. [​IMG]

    Ok, on your iPhone 8 when you go into the Bluetooth settings page and see the device names, click the information icon (I in a circle to the far right of the device name) next to your Tundra’s device name. Once there, do you see a screen that looks like this one that shows up for my Yukon? If yes, is your ‘Show Notifications’ on or off? If off, turn it on. Or do you see one that looks like the second snapshot that’s named ‘Car Multi-Media’? This is the one I have for my Tundra but it looks like you have a fancier head unit than mine.
