Entune Update

I'm on 3.2.0 and it works fine. It will fix your wrong side problem and other nav problems.

 

Entune updates are a DIY as described elsewhere on PC. Use the same red USB stick, or any other.

 

Forgive my stupidity, but what does ToyotaCare expiring have to do with the Entune update? I ask because my ToyotaCare is expiring in a month or two, and I've never updated my maps or Entune (outside of the smartphone app), nor have I gotten a USB stick to do it with. Is this something that's covered?

 

The Entune update is not for maps; that's always a chargeable item. But there are many problems with the navigation and audio system that are fixed by various updates to the Entune software; this is covered under the three year/36,000 mile warranty and the dealer will do it at no charge. See this post for details:

But over on the ToyotaNation forum, there's a download and instructions for doing the update yourself using a USB stick. It takes just a few minutes.
Entune 3.1.0/3.2.0 update how to and download link - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums
That thread started as an update to 3.1.0, but it's been updated for the latest release, which is 3.2.0.

 

Thanks a million, ftl!

EDIT: Just tried it and it updated flawlessly!

 

There ya go!

 

Just updated to 3.2.0 from stock (I think it was 2.1.0) that came with the car (2012 Prius V5) using the USB stick technique.

My Pandora had stopped working... kept saying "Pandora has stopped unexpectedly," or something similar, right after starting it. With the new update it works again!

Also had problems of bluetooth audio and ipod starting automatically (multiple times... after turning off it would just turn on again) when the car started. I haven't tried it but hopefully those are fixed as well.

Thanks for the info!

 

anyone have a better link to the update? The one in the ToyotaNation link keeps saying it's generated too much traffic so it's been temporarily disabled.

 

Oh, I just did mine last week. Haven't noticed anything different yet.

 

That's the only link I know of - hopefully it will time out eventually and the file will be accessible again.

 

by any chance can you upload the file here, I tried the link but it no longer works.

 

I have attached a txt file that was originally downloaded along with a link for the iso that can't be attached here. That file (swdl.iso) is 302mb (309mb on disk) so here's a link. It does not update the map file, just the underlying Entune application. I stored both the txt file below and the downloaded file on an usb drive and then plugged in to the usb port on a running Prius v.

I am no expert on this, it just worked for me. I have a 2012 v 3, (display audio with navigation but not the advanced tech package). Probably won't work on the 2015 models with their newer mfd.

The original toyotanation post instructions:
Entune 3.1.0/3.2.0 update how to and download link - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

 

FWIW, with the latest release of Windows Phone 8.1 OS and the Nokia Lumia 1520 'denim' firmware came network sharing via Bluetooth, meaning all the Entune 'app' functionality that was previously unavailable (Realtime Traffic, Gas Prices, Pandora, etc.) is now available via a Bluetooth-to-cellular (or wifi) connection, without any actual Entune app being available for the WinPhone.

 

I am new to this. My current entune is somewhere around 1.8.x version. Can I directly upgrade to 3.2 or do I need to apply the intermediate ones first?

Also, the toyotanation site, in its instructions says step 5 is to "read TSB", what is that, service bulletin? Does it list out additional steps than what is listed?

 

You don't need the TSB and you can go direct to 3.2. Just don't expect a huge change.

 

Does anyone know where I can send feedback about the Pandora app? I finally spent a lot of time with it this past weekend and it seems quite buggy. I have to wonder if they've even bothered to test it with accounts that have almost 100 stations. I have noticed several anomalies that may or not be related to that, however, and most of them are repeatable. I haven't checked for an update in a month or two but I would think this should be a more stable user experience this man revisions in.

 

Maybe try the "Contact us" link on the Entune webpage: Toyota - Entune

 

So the link that was on that page didnt work anymore for the update what is the latest version so i can try updating mine.
