Toyota Bluetooth® Troubleshooting Sometimes connecting your phone to your Bluetooth® in Toyota Corolla can be tricky, and you may find that after you turn on your Toyota your phone is not shown on your multimedia screen or your phone notifications will not show up on your Toyota Entune screen. If you’re looking for Toyota Bluetooth® troubleshooting, we’ve outlined some causes and solutions below: There are several reasons why your phone would not appear on your Toyota’s multimedia screen. Here’s what to do for each: The vehicle’s Bluetooth® setting may not be enabled. To check this feature go to menu > setup > Bluetooth® > detailed settings > and verify that Bluetooth® power is turned on. Make sure that your phone’s Bluetooth® option is turned on, you can turn on Bluetooth® in your phone’s settings. If there are 5 devices already registered on your Toyota, a new Bluetooth® connection will not be made. Use the same steps above to check which devices are registered on your Toyota, and then remove an old device to pair your new one. If there are two connected devices paired at the same time, one may be selected as audio-only. To fix this, go to the Bluetooth® menu and select “registered devices”. Here you can select which device you’d like to have enabled for phone or music settings by pressing the appropriate icon. If your phone pairs with your Toyota correctly, but your Toyota will not alert you to new messages or phone calls, follow these steps: Check your phone permissions. A lot of Toyota Bluetooth® troubleshooting is caused by the phone itself. Go into your phone’s settings to ensure that push notifications for calls and messages from your preferred app are enabled beside your connected vehicle’s name. If you continue to have problems, you may need to reset your phone or your Entune system: To reset your phone, power off your phone completely for 30 seconds, and turn it back on. Be sure you’re powering off your phone and not just restarting it. To reset the Entune System, press and hold the audio knob to power off the system and Entune will power off and restart on its own. There are many makes and models of phones that are available on the market, and because of this, not every device could be compatible with your Toyota vehicle. If you’re having continued trouble with Toyota Bluetooth® troubleshooting, contact your Brent Brown Toyota Toyota dealer.

If you’re looking for a rugged vehicle that won’t quit in the Draper area, you might be looking for the Toyota Land Cruiser. This all-terrain vehicle has been a top choice for daring off-road adventurers on the off-roads of Provo, and it has a rich and varied history. With a giant community of vintage Toyota Land Cruiser enthusiasts, it goes without saying that the Toyota Land Cruiser history is a long and interesting tale. Read on and then fill out a pre-approval and contact Brent Brown Toyota to test drive the latest model in Orem! Toyota Land Cruiser History: Military Use The origin of the Toyota Land Cruiser has its roots in the Pacific theater in World War II. In 1941, the Japanese army took the Philippines from the Americans. One of the items they salvaged was an American Bantam Jeep, which was quickly shipped back to the authorities in Japan. The Toyota company was chosen to begin work on a vehicle with similar capabilities, but with an appearance that could not be mistaken for an American car. Later, during the war, Toyota produced a light truck called the AK10, although few of them were ever used in battle. By 1951, the American military had several bases in Japan with which to more effectively fight the Korean War. Toyota began developing a series of military trucks that the Americans could use, rather than having to have trucks shipped all the way from America. Toyota Land Cruiser History: Civilian Use By 1955, the Korean War had ended, and military vehicles were no longer in such high demand. The second generation of this vehicle was introduced as the Land Cruiser, a name chosen to compete with the popular Land Rover in England. This generation of trucks was designed to appeal more to civilians looking for a capable small truck and was largely aimed at an export market. The 1957 Land Cruiser saw the addition of a four-door station wagon, something that certainly never would have been used in wartime. The Land Cruiser was popular in Australia and the very first Japanese car available in the southern continent. Success in America The Toyota Land Cruiser steadily grew in popularity in overseas markets, including America. In 1965, the Land Cruiser became the best-selling Toyota in the United States, having passed the 50,000 vehicle mark. Production took off, with the 100,000th Land Cruiser produced in 1968 and the 300,000th by 1973. The Toyota Land Cruiser Association was founded in California in 1976. The Land Cruiser was also sold to the Irish Army, although it was not a success as the wet weather caused the Cruiser to rust. Today’s Land Cruiser Now that Lehi drivers are caught up on Land Cruiser history, they’ll be happy to know that the 2021 model is making history. While the current model pays tribute to vintage Toyota Land Cruisers, it implements some sweeping changes. Check out some standard and available highlights from the latest model to see what the Land Cruiser’s legacy means today.
