So I got a '14 Tacoma with the Entune radio. Which so far has not impressed me much. The XM reception is only so-so at best, which is because of the satellite system, I'm told. And I'm also told that nothing can be done to switch to the other satellites. Oh well.
More annoying is the weather channel thing. It takes more time than I think it should to download, )Does it come from the same statlites as XM radio?) nearly every time I start the truck, and fully 50% of the time, it doesn't even come up with the correct locality. Why? I can drive 3 miles across town, and the weather locality will change when I restart. I realize that you can theoretically go into the menu and change this, but that seems to have no effect. And I realize that the locality is supposed to change as you drive, but this thing is coming up with places that aren't really anywhere near where I am.
