How to Connect Highlander Bluetooth to iPhone?
3 Answers
First, check if both devices have Bluetooth functionality; then verify if Bluetooth is enabled on both devices. To successfully connect, the PIN code and pairing code of both devices are required. Follow the on-screen instructions. If performed correctly, you will receive a successful connection notification.
I often help friends with this issue, and the connection process is actually quite straightforward. In the Highlander, first start the engine, then locate the Settings menu on the large screen, enter the Bluetooth settings and turn it on. At this point, take your iPhone, go to the Bluetooth option in Settings, enable Bluetooth scanning, and it will automatically list available devices. Select the one displayed as Toyota or Highlander-related name. When pairing, you might be prompted to enter a password—mine is usually 0000 or 1234—enter it and confirm to complete the connection. After connecting, try playing music or making a call to check if the sound comes from the car's speakers. If it doesn’t connect, restarting both the phone and the car’s infotainment system usually resolves the issue, or you can forget the device and pair again. Remember to operate while parked to avoid distractions while driving. Once Bluetooth is connected, navigation instructions will also come through, making driving safer. The Highlander’s Bluetooth works well with Apple devices and rarely has issues.
The steps are straightforward. After starting the car, navigate to the settings area of the central control system and activate the Bluetooth module to prepare for searching. On the Apple iPhone, turn on Bluetooth to let it scan in the background, then select the discovered Highlander device name to begin pairing. Pairing usually requires a simple password like 0000 for identity verification. Once the connection is established, call and music data will sync automatically. Try playing a song on Spotify to check if the output is correct. If you encounter connection issues, simply restart the device. The Highlander Bluetooth can remember multiple devices but only allows one to connect at a time to avoid confusion. The Apple ecosystem works smoothly with Toyota models, offering energy efficiency and practicality.
