Quieting Toyota Bluetooth Echo

Some owners of Toyota vehicles may experience echoing on the line when calling using Bluetooth Hands-Free. This is caused by the phone's hands-free volume being too low. These settings may need to be reapplied anytime the phone is paired to a new head unit, when a phone update is applied, or if the phone is unpaired and then repaired.
