Remember Boys and Girls, technology is here to make our life easier!

Post by PHPaul »

Had to replace my cell (long, embarrassing story...) and forgot I hadn't paired it to my 2013 Tundra.

Pairing it to my 2020 RAV4 was a piece of cake. Truck, not so much.

Figuring out how to do it in the first place was great fun. The manual gives the steps but fails to mention it's done with voice commands over the audio system, so I wasted 10 minutes pushing buttons. Not horrible once you figure it out, but one of the steps is to "name" your phone. So I went with the obvious: "Paul". Nope, "sounds too much like 'help'". Really? Okay, how about "Truck"? Nope, too close to "cancel" Seriously? In what language?

Between figuring out how to do it in the first place and it's pickiness about the name, I was getting frustrated so the next attempt was "Fuck You". Of course it was fine with that one and the rest of the pairing went smoothly.

So now my phone's name in my truck is "Fuck You"...

Hilarious! Thanks for the morning laughter…Mrs Bkeepr thought so, too. I have similar problem with voice command of my phone in the 2010 F-150.

Well you done screwed up !! Now if I get out there, and steal your truck, I can get into your phone system as well. But I guess I would have to steal the phone too. Hhmmmmmmm?
