  • Of you can't add anymore bluetooth devices because the BLUETOOTH button and PHONE button are greyed out on your display, then this method should work. If it worked, please leave a comment, share my video and PLEASE SUBSCRIBE to my channel. Thanks!!

    Worked like a charm! My 2014 Tundra has a key, not a start button.
    So I just had to turn the key on without starting it. I would have never figured the sequence out without your video. Thanks Bro!

    OMG I spent weeks trying to figure out how to reboot the screen because it seemed as the bluetooth was stuck and I wanted to avoid taking it to the dealership and pay an arm and a leg for something so simple. I am so glad I came across your video!!! Thank you sooo much! This worked perfectly on my 2014 Highlander.

    Thank you, my friend. The suggested sequence worked like a charm on my 2014 Highlander. Both bluetooth and map navidation stopped working after my daughter drove the car and said she had had issues connecting her iPhone. I guess she just maxed out the list of connected devices. The system has been reset now, and everything is back to normal.

  • @philomenecharles-doristin1962

    Sir God bless you!!!! The first option didn't work, but the second one was magical. I can't afford for Toyota to charge me for this type of fix. May your family be blessed. Appreciate this so much. CZcamsrs are the best.

    This worked perfectly! The tech at the Toyota dealer only knew to totally remove the nav/radio and short the power leads to do a hard reset. My problem was with the Nav voice disappearing intermittently. Since I've done this the voice has yet to disappear. Thanks Dennis!

      Toyota will moSt likely try to ban my video because it will cause them to lose money.. they usually make money by telling people to bring in their cars, they charge them over 250 dollars just to do this, they make it seem as if they replace the radio or something, just to make money .. read some of the comments in this thread and you'll see what I'm talking about

    Ok, if you have Key and No-APP option… turn key twice, just as he stated with “ start button” … when turning your lights on 3 times, and don’t have an APP button, press the “ setup” button instead. Also , after you press the final “ok”…turn off key right away, otherwise it won’t work and you’ll have to redo. I just did this on my 2014 Tacoma, again, it doesn’t have an APP button and has an actual key….. many thanks to the original post!

    My touch screen on my 2013 Highlander was dimmed to the point you could barely read it. I tried increasing the brightness, contrast, day settings. This didn’t solve the issue. I have a key ignition system. I turned it to bring the power on but did not start the engine. I then pushed the volume knob down and turned the lights on and off three times. It didn’t seem to work so I depressed the power button and held it in while turning the lights on and off three times. The screen lit up the way it was supposed to. Thank you for posting this video!
