Hi, I can't open the Google Drive on EA_00

[@jennienhungngo6495]

As of 07/09/23 the link worked for my husband's car. - I bought a SanDisk 32GB Ultra USB 3.0 Flash Drive - 130MB/s - SDCZ48-032G-AW46 $8.88 at Walmart seemed to work well. -It is a 2018 Camry SE so using the link of 2018 Camry base audio Pioneer. Other versions, you should find it in the PDF instructions to find which one is right for your car, and check your model id at menu->general->software update->then click model information. - I formatted the USB before moving the files into it. - Make sure that you just move those 2 individual files into the usb that are not under a folder. Then just go to your car and do it like the video and it should be working properly. Thank you so much OP!

[@kerxsy]

bro help me plzzzzz I opened the link and there is only one file for the base audio pioneer.

[@AshleighJanos]

⁠@@kerxsy there are two files in one folder. Looks like one link but it isn’t! Make sure you take them both out of the folder and move them to the usb flash drive. I did this as of today and it worked and I got the CarPlay in my Camry! :) Hope that helps. I used the pioneer link too.

[@chrisa586]

Thank you. This worked and made my wife very happy. FYI I used a 16gb USB 2.0 drive and made sure it was partitioned for FAT32 and MBR. Follow the TSB closely for your model.

[@MrSherilsunny]

Can u explain how to choose the right file. What do I need to check

[@lunhua4911]

Thank you so much for posting this video and the links. It took me a few minutes to figure out what model to download and then it is just smooth sailing by following the instructions.

[@Isaias_ILT_]

A year after this video came out and it is still a working procedure! I was incredibly skeptical and nervous, although it all worked out. I simply used a 16gb 2.0 flash drive like everybody else in the comments and it worked. Make sure you don't have the files in a folder together within the flash drive as it downloads default because then the car won't read it. Put the two files in individually in the flash drive. Finally don't think its hard, someone with no tech experience can do it! I did it all myself by just following the video. Do this and save 200 bucks straight up.

[@feelvivek]

hello can you please describe how to organize the files ? For example lets say the flash drive is F: then how should i organize the files ?

[@yohankbjohn5171]

[@MrSherilsunny]

How did u know which file to download? Please help

[@tiffanysok3258]

It worked in about 20 minutes for me!! I spent about an hour trying to figure out which version my car (2018 Toyota Camry XSE V4) needed because it was tricky. I wasn’t sure if my car had Entune Audio Plus or not since it is an XSE. I originally followed your video and downloaded the basic version on a lexar 16gb high speed turn twist flash drive because my stereo doesn’t have a CD player. Did a test run, it didn’t work because I downloaded the PDF file onto the flash drive. Then, I deleted the PDF file from the flash drive and did a second test run. It didn’t work again. It didn’t work because I didn’t extract the zip file. After I extracted the zip file, I ran a third test, but it was unsuccessful again. I read a comment on the forum you provided that said the audio plus version is for most Camry XSEs. Long story short, I deleted the files, then downloaded the audio plus zip onto the flash drive and extracted the files to my flash drive, ran test number four and was unsuccessful again. It was unsuccessful because my Entune software is basic, not audio plus. I found that out as I was working through the first few steps of the PDF for the audio plus version. I felt the high speed lexar flash drive was newer than a 2.0 flash drive so I bought a lexar 16gb 2.0 flash drive, downloaded the basic zip version on my flash drive, extracted the two files from the zip, then deleted the zip file leaving the two files on my flash drive. I followed the instructions on the basic PDF version, which took about 20 minutes, and I now have apple carplay available on my 2018 Toyota Camry XSE thanks to this KZbin video and the Toyota nation forum!!! I’ve always wanted an installed GPS besides scout GPS (now it doesn’t even work without a subscription for about $25/month). I just have to connect my phone to my car’s USB plug in and press apple CarPlay on the Home Screen to access google maps, maps (iPhone), messages, phone, and more.

[@JoseAlfredoElviraSantos]

Hi. what is the file for my xse 2018? I have the stereo without cd input.

[@zubairkhalid685]

Works amazingly well on my Toyota Camry 2018. Can't be thankful enough to the person uploading and guiding us through the process. A few things to know: First go to your car's radio. Menu > General >Update and find the model ID. Then select the TSB file based on that. The rest of the process is smooth.

[@ramzizuaiter4020]

You saved me 1600$ and your software worked. the dealership today tried to update it and they gave me my car after 4 hours the screen not working where it gives me a loop of updating the software and they told me to replace the whole unit. your software worked well. Thank you

What a life saver! I was able to update my 2018 Camry this afternoon in about 15-20 mins max. I called my dealership earlier before attempting it myself, I was told the job was going to take 2-3 hours and it would cost $179 (before tax). I searched for a second option, and stumbled onto this tutorial among a few others. I am SOOO glad I found this tutorial it saved me 180+ bucks and a lot of wasted time. I appreciate you doing this tutorial, it was SUPER easy and I recommend doing it yourself. I was a little worried about it initially but I got it done quickly with no hiccups. I did have good weather for it though 30°F, I just opened all my windows and sat in the car while it updated. EZPZ. I used a 32 GB Samsung flash drive slow formatted the drive dropped the files in there and followed the tutorial. 10/10.

[@WorksforMe]

Nice!! Glad it worked out. I see a lot of people here who are not able to find files. Did you have any issues ? And how were the files placed in the USB drive ?

Thank you for this. I was able to get this done very fast and safe by using a 256gb ssd which I partitioned to only have 10g on fat32 and then transferred the necessary files. It was enclosed in a usb3.0 casing. The only important thing is for it to be on fat32 and a partition that does not exceed 16gb. Goes very smoothly on the ssd because it doesn’t get overloaded like some of the regular usb thumb drives do.

So I went back inside downloaded my second choice option, downloaded, extracted all the files, so they’re not stowed away in any folders (there’s a picture in the comments of the forum in the link description that shows what the proper layout would look like, and i followed that guideline).
