Yes, I do connect to my hotspot on my iPhone to use WAZE. This Android unit came with EASY CONNECT installed and that's what I use to do it. It works very well. EASY CONNECT is the second to last photo in my post.

Harness is on the way. I got a 2003.
That's very interesting, but where did your heater/aircon controls go? Does this thing emulate the OEM setup? If so, I'm sure others would be very interested to see a link. Thanks!
This isn't exactly bluetooth but it is the cheapest and easiest AUX options:
Will require a little bit of tech savy(ness?) but sure beats the asinine prices of Vaistech

Here’s a link below. The heater/aircon controls are accessed on the home page with its own page. It works but it has some bugs. I simply got it set up and left it in auto. But you have to run a bit blind while using the heater/aircon controls. Sometimes you touch the screen and nothing seems to happen but it does. Just slightly annoying. Hoping to get it ironed out in the near future.

I see BT45 pop up on my phone and have no idea how to access it. How does one access the BT45 in a 2004 LC?
Once you are linked by Bluetooth through your phone, hit the mode button on your landcruiser until it is your input.
@Bull Moose 100 thanks. will try today. had this LC over a year. duh...
It’s 2019, get a blue tooth, don’t mess around with fm transmitters. It’s such old technology and no manufacturers are investing in making it better, they’re just collecting $12 at a time from stubborn people who still connect a discman or refuse to make the move to bt. 5+ nods on this post alone for the bt45 and there’s dedicate multi page posts about how tried and true it is. Buy the previous posters used one if you’re trying to save dough
Does this have Google maps on it? How easy was the Install? Price? Thanks
I have a 2003 LX470 which came with a Bluetooth product without any documentation. Before I pull things apart to install a new unit, does anyone recognize the item pictured? Apologies for the grubby console.

do you have an update?I have heard there are issues w AC controls etc.
This is good feedback. Are you able to turn up the voice call volume if needed? If you can turn up the volumeon the call, when the call ends, does it switch back over to the music and its blaring loud?
I'll just say this, the bt45-toy works better than the Bluetooth on the 2020 Ford mustang that I rented.
Thank you. Trying to see if the local best buy will install a part that is not sold at their store. I also know what you mean the ford. I owned a ford once....once.
Hi Bull. It's not that big a drama to DIY the install. And I suspect you will be happier with the result. You never know how good the 'installers' are. The biggest challenge likely will be pulling the plastic face plate out and also the facia on the A column going up to the roof for the mike. I recommend getting a set of plastic trim tools for about 20 bucks, and just go slow. I first did this on a 2001 and I thought for sure I was going to break the panel. It had not been moved since new. But kept at it and eventually got it out. I'd also recommend getting zip ties and 3M sticky squares to go with it so you can tie up the mike cable at various places under the dash. Just my .02. Good luck!
Wrong guy, but you can just clip the mic to the dash right above your steering column.
Remove the panel when it is above 32 degrees. Don't do it in sub-zero temps
Sorry about that Bull. Re temp, I was doing this sweat pouring down in the Middle East. It had just been stuck there for so long....and I'd never done it before. Re mic position, I prefer up by the roof for better sound quality.

Seicane Stereo Install Question- Back-up Rear video Not working
Has anyone installed one of the Seicane 10-1/2" stereo systems in their LC or LX? I have an 05 LX470 and just installed the unit with the module for the LX or LC. However, the back-up camera does not show up on the screen.

being discussed in another thread, im still waiting on long term use of the unit, but it appear the OP has had it for at least a couple years
@Bull Moose 100 @John Young Thanks for the feedback guys. Sorry in advance for dumb questions. So, I probably should have been more clear but on the 05' 100 series, I do have Bluetooth integration on the OEM display/headunit. for phone calls already, just not to connect Spotify- play music. I assume the USA Spec BT45 Toy device replaces your existing Bluetooth phone call capabilities? - this is why you guys keep talking about where to place the mic?
