I just got confirmation that Entune will NOT be available for Canadian users, even for the PiP. That means no remote charge management, no remote A/C and no charging station map. (But I think remote A/C can still be activated with the keyfob) Do you use these features a lot with your phone? Can we live without it? I want the plug-in prius anyway but I hope these features will not be missed too much. And do someone knows why Entune was disabled here in the first place? Thanks!
The Entune features you mentioned are on the advanced model, but not the base, which I have. I am getting along just fine using no Entune at all. I found it to be a hassle to deal with, and nothing it offered was worth the trouble. For instance, since you have to connect your phone to Entune in order to get "traffic" why not just get it on the phone? And I found that Entune wanted to control my phone and not release it when I left the car.
With respect to media applications anyway, I don't have any specific information, but I suspect that it is due to licensing issues. The rights for use in the U.S. are distinct from the rights in Canada. And Canada has its own rules about a lot of such things insisting on a certain percentage of Canadian content.

Ahhhh......I think I know what you mean.......Entune is still running on the phone. Unless you sign out of Entune.
