2013 Bluetooth Doesn't Work

[WreckTheShop]

So I've been having issues where the bluetooth functions in my head unit just plain don't work.

It doesn't seem to be a pairing issue. I was able to set up my phone and my wife's phone, but now every time it pairs, it immediately drops the connection. It's like the whole system is shutting down, because even trying to navigate the setup menu, I have like 5-10 seconds before it just backs out completely. I'll be in the middle of the laborious process of giving it the 15 voice commands to get into phone setup, and then it will just cut off and go back to playing the radio.

This is a 2013 SR5 w/o navi.

I'm afraid I need a whole new head unit, which is ridiculous.

Is another vehicle nearby turned on that your phone is paired with also? When we moved about 300 miles away, I almost lost my shit trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with my bluetooth. Turns out, my phone was disconnecting from my 4runner and connecting to my wife's Rav4. Might want to rule that out, if that might be the cause. Good luck.
