Could anyone on this forum tell me how to pair an Android phone to the cars head unit. I've tried, but can't work out how to do it. Maybe I'm a knucklehead. I dunno, but this head unit is wired. Just bought this car and everything is great except the pairing. Also I can't work out how to get a cd out of the CD area. Looks like there's already one in there from previous owner !!

You'll have to navigate the stupid menu system from one of the buttons of the left hand side. I think the easiest way is if you went to Telephone.

In terms of the CD ejecting, pretty sure there's a button for eject too? The CD will come out of the head unit.

Ok, thanks for your assistance. I managed to figure out the disc eject issue. There wasn't one still in there. Pairing the phone is tricky. It seems to not pair automatically like it's supposed to. I did pair my android phone, but after turning car off it didn't re pair again? Looks like Im going to.have to manually pair it every time.

Had issues with the standard head-unit with pairing and outdated Navigation disc so ended up replacing the unit with a far more modern and reliable one, i found that trying to live with the issues were not worth it I hope you get whatever is the issue is sorted soon if not think about updating the whole unit

Hi Michael, yes i checked a few sources for updated disc's etc for my head unit saw all way too costly to spend that sort of money  so in the end thought stuff it and bought a new Clarion unit...yes did like the look of the original unit so kept it boxed up so if i ever sell the car i have it ..not that i foresee it ever being sold as we love to drive it..still feels brand new and I kept it very well serviced and clean..hope you at least find something you can live with as far as music maps etc

Mine pairs automatically every time I start the car. It definitely should do that.

What unit did you go with? I'm wanting to change mine too. Someone rear ended me the other week and I had a hire car replacement while it was getting repaired, and I swear the newer units with their bluetooth audio capabilities just made it so much clearer how inferior the stock head unit was. Although truth be told, the head unit was always the biggest disappointment for me when I bought the Presara new back in 2010. For the price you had to pay for the model, the head unit was ***** poor.

Hi Mike, I ended up going to Monster Audio and got a Clarion VX506AU head unit, I had them install as well as they also had the proper surround that made it fit perfectly in the space of the old head unit, I am sure now-days there are an even better selection of units out there as I had this done about 6 years ago..it had the ability to have all steering wheel controls working as well the bluetooth is wonderful, i prefer to use a usb stick for all my audio as when they fitted it they installed 2 cables into the glovebox so i use one for the flashdrive, that way i can add or remove songs..so maybe go into a few audio stores or online and see what is out there, I agree i was disappointed with the original unit considering how awesome the car is..Hope you get it sorted soon and enjoy

Thanks mate! That's great info. Clarion units aren't cheap, so that must've cost a pretty penny! Just one more question: did your head unit have input for the reverse camera or did you have to replace that or just went without it?

Hi guys, thanks for all the information. I'll stick with the standard hesd unit in this Presara. I somehow managed to get my android phone automatically to re pair !!

No idea how It happened. But yeah, phone calls are coming through now. I'll change the head unit later maybe. Cheers everyone.

Apparently Tomtom do an updated maps disc. It's bloody $400 though. I'm going to keep the the head unit for now. It suits the rest of dash.  

Forget Tom Tom mate.. Out of date technology and they still want you to pay for it lol..

I stopped using my Tom Tom years ago. I still keep it with me as a back up in case the phone dies.

Google Maps is the best and it's free !

I can't offer any info on the pairing I'm sorry as I don't remember. I did ages ago to pair my wife's phone as she daily drives it.

As for the stock head unit. They are rubbish. Mine had a CD stuck in it (had to remove the head unit and open the CD player up  to retrieve it. Painful)..

The touch screen is crap. My "source" tab stopped working no matter how I touch it. AArrgggg !!

I'm thinking to get another stock one to replace it, but I can find better ways to spend $200.

It's stuck on FM so that's ok. My young fella and his mum like WS FM so I'll leave it.

      Head Unit Replacement for 2010 Toyota Corolla Hatch

      G’day TGA, hope you got this sorted, just about any 2 din would fit. I’m putting a pioneer one in but I’d like to know how to pull the trims apart to fit it 🤨 Every video shows the sedan with a different gearshift with short trims to remove but those 2 lower side ones are 1 piece on the hatch and I’m struggling. Do I need to remove console box to start removing those side piece. Any help cheers Sparky

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I am sure many owners of Landcruiser 200s have had the same experience as me where the GPS has led me into the wrong roads. I’ve had two Landcruisers, a 2013 model and currently have a 2021 model. Both vehicles had/have poor GPSs. Even Toyota personnel agree with this. so I am considering replacing it with an after market unit. I don’t want one which relies on mobile phone connection. I am looking at a unit sold by Brummstadt. The link is https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility I would appreciate any feedback from any owner who has taken this step. thanks, Bob See https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility

      Aurion "wobble"

      Since last year I've been getting quite terrible wheel wobble between 60-70 mph on the expressway. Sort of notice it however way less evident now and again going more slow. Recently got crankshaft belt and flash fittings changed at a repairman I believe that accomplishes great work. This began occurring after I got excessively blissful doing doughnuts in the colder time of year and knock a snow bank tapping a road sign haha... I figured I twisted something in the driver side suspension...lower control arm, tie bar, and so on yet repairman said everything was straight and tight, bushings alright, no spillage on them or swaggers. He said perhaps a wheel arrangement would fix it. I maintain that should do swaggers in any case cause the ride isn't quite as smooth as it used to be. Contemplations? Assuming I get an arrangement would it be advisable for me to do the swaggers first or is that all the more with supplanting the lower control arm?

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I'd be surprised if they expect you to pay for it as it is a recall issue. Glad it's been checked out before it's too late though.

      Swapping hiace motors

      Hi there, bit of background, I’ve got a 2003 Toyota hiace lwb that has a good motor but the shell is dead, and a 1993 Toyota hiace commuter extra long wheel base that has a dead motor. Both diesel, 1993 is 2.4L engine, 2003 I’m not 100% but I believe it’s also a 2.4L engine So my question is does anybody know if the 2003 motor would fit in the 1993 hiace commuter.
