Default How to enable bluetooth for playing music?

I have a '10 with NAV. iphone 5S. Bluetooth enabled on phone and syncs to car. Phone calls work great.

On the Radio function, there is a BT (among others) tab, however mine is greyed out. AUX tab lights up with the cable plugged into the port in the black hole and my phones headphone port. Whether this cable is plugged in or not, the BT tab is never accessible. My wife has a '13 Venza with NAV same iPhone and she can play music through her phone wireless, selecting the BT tab.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Click Connect Phone when you're in the Media menu.
FYI, when the cable is plugged-in, BT will NOT work and Audio will be routed through the iPod/USB source.

Phone and music are separate device connections, although you may think they are from the same device [phone]. This paring allows music from one phone and voice-phone from another.
