Ok, so I have been driving for 50 years, so got that down. Am enjoying my little Toyota. But just got an iPod and can get it to play in the car. But it won't show any song information. I don't understand about the folders, there are no folders on my iPod, just albums. When I click on the arrow up or down, it does not change the song or album. If anyone has the time, I could use some tips here. Thank you. |

| Does anyone know how to turn down the ringing volume on the Bluetooth? My wife loves her 07 RAV4 and the Bluetooth. But when a call comes in, the loudness of the ring nearly makes you jump out of your seat. I've looked through the manual and couldn't find anything on it. If you know how, I'd appreciate a tip. Thanks. | |
I'm surprised your wife loves it so much. When I use it, most people complain that it's hard to hear me well and it sounds like I'm talking from underwater. As for the ring volume, it's a bit inconvenient but if you start by making a call and adjust the volume down by using the steering wheel control it should lower the ring on a subsequent in-coming call.

I have a Samsung smart phone which had no proble pairing. Call clarity is just fine on both ends. I haven't figured out how to easily pair the phone when I first get in the vehicle. I guess I need to read the manual a little more carefully. So far I've had to go into settings (the vehicle's) and then select my phone, then talk. With my bluetooth earpiece, all I need to do is flip the mic and the phone instantly pairs. The in-car system will be better for long trips (over 1/2 hour) but otherwise, I'll probably just continue to use my earpiece for instant convenience. As far as the navigation system, my wife bought me a Garmin Nuvi 250 for christmas last year. I immediately exchanged it for a Nuvi 200, which has identical operation and costs far less. You can buy them now for about $160. I can't imagine what a $2500 nav system can do that my Garmin can't, other than talk to me with a little more detail. Plus I didn't have to remove the kick-butt 6 disc JBL stereo. I also use the Google Maps feature on my smartphone while driving. I'll typically keep the phone on a larger map scale, for general orientation, then use the Garmin for street-level turn-by-turn directions. If they offered a nav system which would allow me to create a route using either points on the map or coordinates, an interface which was simple enough to complete a 500 mile route in under a minute, fuel burn rates and status at each waypoint, options of six different map scales plus satellite imagery, upload a threat database (highway patrol), and most importantly, couple the driver controls to the route so I can sit back and let the car drive me home, I'd consider it. That's what the nav system does in my work vehicle, a V-22 Ospey. Guess that's the difference between spending $30,000 and $100,000,000.

| Would like both NAV and bluetooth on a 2010 RAV4 limited, but it seems they are mutually exclusive with these option packages? Is it possible to get both? If not, we'll get the package with Bluetooth and add a portable NAV. | |
