    Hey I just picked up my 2016 TRD Pro yesterday (on my birthday) an I am loving it. I am so excited to get it dirty.

    Anyway, I am writing because my phone seems to have a problem pairing with the Bluetooth. It will connect, but it shows a poor connection and it will drop calls quite often. This happening to anyone else? If so any ideas on how to fix it?

    Thanks guys.

    Hi nlockwood3,

    I have a new 2016 Trail Edition 4Runner and experience the same issues with my iPhone 6+. It's a PITA!

    My solution is to turn the Bluetooth on, then off on the phone (I can do this easily by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and tapping on the Bluetooth button twice...once to turn it off and then again to turn it back on).

    Once the phone reconnects, you're good to go.

    Like I said PITA, but until Toyota fixes it...

    I tried that, but it would still disconnect. My phone went through an update a few weeks ago and it seems to work fine now. Maybe you could try to update your phone software.
