How to Connect Bluetooth for Older Crown Models?
2 Answers
First, establish a pairing relationship. Activate the Bluetooth function on your phone, navigation device, and other equipment, and set your phone's Bluetooth to 'Visible to All' in the settings. Then, search for Bluetooth devices on your phone. Once found, select and pair with the device. The connection password is: 0000. After successful pairing, the connection will be established.
I used to drive an old Crown model, which didn’t have built-in Bluetooth, so connecting was a bit of a hassle. I solved it by adding an FM transmitter plugged into the cigarette lighter: first, insert the transmitter into the lighter port, then turn on Bluetooth on your phone to search for nearby devices, and pair it with the transmitter. The transmitter would then automatically connect to the car’s radio frequency, like tuning to FM 88.5, and you’d set the car’s radio to the same frequency to play music or make calls. The whole process required parking to avoid distractions while driving. For older cars without Bluetooth, an FM transmitter is a convenient option—just make sure to choose one with Bluetooth 5.0 support for stable signals and avoid cheap ones to prevent intermittent connections. It’s quite handy over time, but remember to clean the transmitter’s port regularly to avoid poor contact.
