bluetooth

I saw a few threads asking for help with less "intrusive" CarPlay setups. I thought I'd share my solution which is not perfect but is an easy and clean install. Supplies: 2.5 inch black metal hinge OQTIC Phone Magnet (Amazon) TUNAI Firefly LDAC Bluetooth Receiver Car Charger with USB-C as...

So I've had this installed in my 03 LX for a couple years and am generally wow quite happy with it (connected via CD changer, not satellite)... But have a nagging issue. When trying to access the title information (by pressing the 'Audio' hard button, then 'Title On' soft button), the display...

I think there are a handful of threads on this exact topic but this is one of my first upgrades to my LC and I wanted to try doing a post about it. I couldn't seem to get my iPhone 11 with the latest iOS to work with the handsfree interface, so the BT45 was perfect. I also wanted to give my...

After installing the BT-45 in my 100 series LX, the AM/FM radio buttons do not seem to function correctly. If I press FM it will simply stop the Bluetooth sound (CD) but power antenna does not deploy and no sound comes through. This is true for AM, as well. If I turn the tune knob, the power...

Hi all, I posted recently asking for help about trying to add a BT45-TOY bluetooth adapter to my 2006 LX470. In short, I was connecting the BT45 correctly (to my knowledge) but was not seeing any bluetooth signal on my phone. I reached out to USA Spec, and their first question was whether the...

Project: Install the BT45-TOY, take advantage of the AUX feature and USB charging by replacing the cig lighter with an AUX/USB port, and use the microphone. Right now I'm stuck trying to get the cig lighter removed from the panel. I do have the panel removed. Is there a trick to getting it off...

Howdy

Hi, I just purchased a 2004 LC and I am so stoked! The only thing is I was wondering what others have done about upgrading the radio and getting things like sattelite radio and a usb port. Would love to hear what others have done. It looks like there is no after market option to replace the...

A little help from those who’ve done it. I just installed a BT45-Toy in my 2002 WITH navigation. All the music works great BUT I cannot get the hands free calling to work correctly with the microphone. The hear the caller through the speakers correctly but they cannot hear with the microphone...

Had posted a bit of this in the "Levinson Amp" thread, but it really doesn't pertain to the amp so I figured a new thread title for this made sense. My apologies for any reduncancy. 1. My system won't play CD/DVDs .. returns a "disc error" message. On the display, disc buttons one and two...

Hello everyone! I just finished this project, and I figured it'd make a good first post. Basically, I replaced the tray in the center console with one that has a wireless charger for my phone and a BlueTooth module for playing music. Details are in the article here: How I Added BlueTooth and...

Figured I would share my cheap method for adding Bluetooth to my '09 LX which sadly was not included from the factory. I don't like to see cables running everywhere and I didn't want to drop a bunch of money into a Vaistech or tear into my dash, so I tried a few different options before coming...

If you are my age or have kids my age you know good and well that my generation likes to hook our pretty iPhones up to Bluetooth and play our godly rap music. My senior year of high school ole dad left me no choice but to sell my 2000 Land Cruiser when I hit 300,000 miles, but I didn't let my...

hello! I bought a 1973 FJ40 without a radio in it, and I notice the radio slot is an uncommon size. I'd like to put a radio in. Preferably something with USB, or Bluetooth, but anything is fine. What radios do you have in your land cruisers? Which ones would you recommend that fit? Thanks in...

Morning, looking at getting the Crux BTS-TY1 Bluetooth from crutchfield. I have a non nav car. I just ordered replacement speakers, but Im not ready to pull the trigger on a full headunit & amp upgrade just yet. We just got the LC a couple weeks ago and did the Tbelt and some other PM this...

Has anyone found a way to add bluetooth to the factory stereo? I want to keep the head unit in my 97 but the only thing I want is bluetooth. Prefer to keep my dash as stock as possible and every DIN unit I look at looks out of place to me. Everything has bluetooth in it these days, I figured...

I've decided to step up to an MPPT charge controller. My old PWM one is only about a year or two old and is doing an excellent job AFAIK, but for the price, and the fact that it's designed in the Netherlands and built in India as opposed to being another rebranded Chinese unit, I went for it...

Cupholder by Smapty posted Dec 17, 2016 at 2:45 PM Hi everyone, Just bought my first 100 series LC and want to pull out the multidisc cd changer in the center console and install a USA Spec BT45-TOY unit. I am running into an issue removing the center console. I have followed this thread...

I've been the proud owner of a high-mileage 1999 LC for just over a week, and the check engine light started flashing at me today. I'm just starting to learn the ins and outs of maintaining a LC, so I dropped it off at a local mechanic and will find out tomorrow what the problem is. Based on...

Hi guys, I recently upgraded my stereo in my recently acquired 1989 FJ62 with a Pioneer FH-X720BT that comes with a Bluetooth microphone. I hooked it on the driver sun visor but I'm not sure how to hide the cable in the headliner, like you would do on more recent car. Does anyone figured that...
