Mandatory Update

Got my update installed. So far I don't notice anything different. Still the same horrendously bad nearly unusable system.

It took three attempts with three different Android phones before I could get a successful install.

Toyota, please update this to allow Android Auto or Apple Carplay. I don't even own an Apple phone but would buy one just to avoid the Toyota Navigation system.

 

6 tries, update failed

 

Damn, is this something we all get to look forward to?

 

Same here.

 

Mine installed without any difficulty. I wish Toyota will send a message describing the update.

A promising new gate for hackers to park their Trojan Horses ...

 

Is this only for Advanced trim? I have never seen such notice on my Premium trim Prime. Then again, I don't use Entune app, so maybe that's why I don't see them.

 

Kinda nuts that this is sprung on you while you're driving? I really don't like these interactive touch-screens they're foisting on owners, glad I'm back in the semi-stone-age.

 

Do you power on your car if you are not going to drive?

 

I'm guessing that's rhetorical, but couldn't there be some logic that the prompt would only pop up when the car's (say) in park. It's seems tantamount to texting while driving, that this'll pop up at any time.

 

I guess Toyota consider it is safe to press just once to answer the question while driving. Just like you press the Temperature Up or Down button while driving. Besides, that question was asked when you just power on your car, you might not have start moving the car yet.

 

it's for premium as well

 

Oh, really? Thanks for the info. I guess, it's only for those who have Entune app set up. I never even bothered with the app, so I have not seen any of update notice on my car for the last 10 months I've been driving.

 

I got this message yesterday morning when i took my mom out to breakfast. Now the software can support my amazon prime flux capacitor im waiting on. I already got the 1.21 gigawatt battery in the back.

 

I installed it when I first got the car but have never used them. Honestly, having apps like yelp or opentable in your car is really useless lol

 

That's what I thought. Advanced trim has its own cellular connection, but Premium doesn't. So if I don't have Entune installed, my car should be isolated from the outside world (i.e. internet world). I think you only get those messages if your phone is connected to internet and linked to Entune app in the car.

 

It worked first time first try today.

But I was driving, so I really have no way of knowing what it actually did.

Release notes ?

 

Can’t expect too much (any) difference since the download only took about 20 seconds

 

Can I ask a stupid question? Actually a few stupid questions? So this update would bring the audio software and entune software up to the latest version? But it's not an update to anything else, such as the actual firmware for the head unit?

Which makes me wonder just what the "audio software " is.

And to get this update on my premium, I would need to install the entune app package on my cellphone and then link this to the car?

Thanks!
