Turn on both the mobile Bluetooth and the car Bluetooth, and ensure they are in discoverable mode. On the mobile phone's Bluetooth interface, click "Search for devices". Select the car Bluetooth displayed on the mobile phone, click on the car Bluetooth -- Bluetooth settings -- Pair. Enter the correct pairing code, and "Connected" will be displayed on the car Bluetooth.

I've been driving my 2013 Reiz for several years, and the connection is quite straightforward. First, start the engine or switch to ACC mode when you get in the car to power up the system. Then press the 'Settings' button on the center console screen, swipe to find the 'Bluetooth' option, and enable it. At this point, turn on your phone's Bluetooth, search for new devices, and 'TOYOTA REIZ' or a similar name will appear in the list—tap to pair. The default PIN is usually 0000 or 1234; enter it to connect. Once connected, music will play automatically, phone calls will be clear, and you can adjust the volume using the steering wheel buttons. Once, I had an issue because I forgot to turn on my phone's Bluetooth, but restarting fixed it. The car's Bluetooth supports basic functions but isn't compatible with the latest phone systems, so regularly check for software updates to avoid disconnections. Overall, it's safest to set it up while parked to avoid distractions while driving.

When helping friends with car repairs, I often encounter issues. The key to connecting a 2013 Reiz is checking the status: the car must be in the ON or started position to have power—don’t try it when the engine is off. Navigate to the audio main menu and select 'Bluetooth Settings,' then enable pairing mode. On your phone, turn on Bluetooth and ensure it’s set to 'discoverable.' When scanning for devices, look for the car’s name and use the default pairing code 0000. If it fails to connect, it might be because your phone is tied to another device—disconnect old connections and retry. Alternatively, the car’s system may need a reset; turn the power off and on again. Since it’s an older model, newer iPhones or Android phones might occasionally conflict—consider updating the system firmware. After connecting, test call quality; adjust the microphone position if there’s static. Always set everything up before driving—safety first, avoid distractions on the road.

Simply put, I've connected to the of a 2013 Reiz several times. After starting the car, go to the screen menu, tap "Settings," then enter "Bluetooth" to turn on the switch. Enable Bluetooth on your phone and search for devices to find the car's name (e.g., REIZ). Tap to pair, enter the default password 0000, and the connection is established. Once done, it automatically plays music or handles calls, which is quite convenient. I always use it for Spotify or call navigation. It's best to park when operating to avoid risks. If issues arise, restarting the system usually resolves them.

I often use in our old Toyota Mark X. The steps are simple: turn the key to the ON position to operate without starting the engine. Select "Settings" in the center console, find and turn on the Bluetooth function, then enable your phone's Bluetooth to search for devices. When the car appears in the device list, click to pair and enter the password 0000. Once connected, making calls is safe and convenient—my husband taught me this. Keep your phone nearby for better signal. At first, I entered the wrong code and later found out by checking the manual. After prolonged use, it occasionally disconnects, but restarting the phone fixes it. The Bluetooth function enhances driving safety—remember to set it up when stationary.

As a tech enthusiast, I've tested the connectivity in the 2013 Reiz. It supports A2DP audio and HFP calling. To connect, start the car, enter the settings menu to activate Bluetooth, enabling pairing mode. Then turn on your phone's Bluetooth to make it discoverable, scan and add the car's name, input the standard PIN 0000, and the pairing is complete. Although the system is outdated, its basic functions work fine and are compatible with most phones. If a new device isn't recognized, delete old pairings and try again. Once connected, you can enjoy music and hands-free calls. I often listen to podcasts during my commute. It's recommended to operate the system while parked to avoid affecting driving safety, and to regularly update the car's software for improved performance.
