Entune v1 update may 2019

Doing the may 2019 entune update.

Took about 4 minutes. Not sure what it did though.

Likely not much. Entune and I do NOT get along.

Entune is really a blemish on an otherwise great truck.

I think the update eliminated Yelp and Movies. I’d like to see Pandora back rather then iHeart. The best would be an update to Entune 3 which includes Apple Play. That would solve a lot. I have a 2016 TRD Sport and a 2018 Avalon Hybrid Limited. I’d gladly pay a bit to upgrade them to an Entune with Apple Play. Wish I could find a place in NJ that installs ARB Air Lockers.

Yeah. I just noticed those are gone. Looking at my invoice and Entune premium was an extra $525.

I got really depressed when I noticed that the entune/sound system junk was virtually identical to the junk system that was in our 2015 Highlander. I would think it could have been improved--even slightly--in four years. At least I didn't have to relearn anything.

I have no need for Apple Play, but I would like Android Play (or whatever its called) so I could use the apps/systems on my phone (like Google Maps) instead of Toyota's system that barely work if they work at all.

Toyota must save a fortune by continuing to use antiquated, poor systems across their product lines. OTOH, I recently drove a new Camry loaner and its system seemed to be better(?). Maybe....

We have last year’s Entune in our Land Cruiser and have not found it to be useful.
When I asked about it at the dealership my salesman told me that he and other’s there don’t use it.
Toyota can do better.

Android auto. I had a rental Chevy Colorado and it's amazing. Hooked right up. Worked fast with no issues.

What year truck? They skipped entune 2 and went straight to entune 3.0.

I think ive still got Yelp actually.

I agree completely. It’s the only thing that would make Entune useful for me. Every month I visit my vacation home in Utah and rent a car. All GM, and most Japanese or Korean cars I rent have Apple Play. What’s wrong with Toyota?

I think I read a year or so ago that Toyota has an internal policy of managing security over adding additional features. They believe that allowing too many of these systems turns over control of the experience of driving to non-toyota companies and that's outside of their list of priorities.

I can see there point, but at some point they've got to realize that people are now addicted to their devices and you're dealing with addicts who will stop using your product simply because you're not giving them what they want.

Looks like android auto will be available for 2020.
