[@Therealrichdude]

It's on their website 😂😂😂

[@ethangreenberg970]

Dude thank you so much. I couldn’t add any new Bluetooth devices for so long and the Toyota dealership tried to charge me $300 to update! Said it would take at least 2 hours of labor. You are the man for this one

[@thatonedude1476]

Yo that’s fucked up they tried to charged you 300 for that

[@1fsttoy]

Woohoo... I have a 3rd gen and I had an update available also. Mine was 168megs. The website said it fixes the random reboot issue I've been having so that's a plus! Thanks!

[@Tacomaholic]

Awesome!

[@jonkrispeterson6678]

I had the same problem in my 2015 Highlander. Talked to my dealer, and the service writer said he would do some research and call me back. The next day he called me back and found the update. I came on the next day and he installed it for free. So far I haven’t had any issues with the entune system doing a reset while driving.

[@ChristianPerez-xd8zq]

What year is your tacoma? Is that the original stereo? I have a 2009 and im currently wanting to swap my stereo for a 2013 model no navigation, but all the other basic stuff being able to change the display color on it and whatnot… and maybe if that is a possible I can also look into swapping the stereo to control the volume.

[@Tacomaholic]

Mine is a 2014 and yes that is the original head unit.

[@edwardk6764]

Toyota in North Hollywood offered to do my 2014 prerunner for free but I never did it because they wanted me to leave it there for hours. I am going to try this file. I had freezing issues using ipod. Thanks Tacomaholic.

I wish my 2014 Unit was in my 2016 Toyota Sienna SE. It's like they went backwards on the navigation, backup camera, etc. Also, I have the Entune app on my phone and does the updates for me for the quite a while now.

I've got a 2015 SR5, it has entune but many of the "apps" like the GPS aren't activated on my system. Will this update be able to work on my truck? Do you know? Thanks!

I think this file is good for any Entune if you don't have the JBL premium setup. Worth a shot since it's free and quick to do.

[@colleenlekie9324]

[@intergalacticchicano]

They tried to charge 120 for an update in the SLO and Pasadena stealership like 4 years ago. I connect my phone to the entune all the time. For some reason the weather and map update dont work once get to central cali. The map / traffic app sucks though

[@bobwilkinson461]

I have a 2014 tacoma and when I go to the Toyota link listed below to check for updates, it says that there is not one available. Is that another stealership ploy to get me to come in and spend the money, or is there actually a free update in the Dropbox for my truck.

[@Tacomaholic]

It might be they just stopped updating that system with the release of the 3rd Gens.

[@rickm4295]

How do you get those custom screens on there ? Thats pretty cool. Probably the same way huh?

[@rrrttt1112]

I think Toyota discontinued ENTUNE and Scout, my 2018 SR5 no longer has GPS after I restored the radio back to factory default, and the playstore no longer has entune.

[@55jplock]

Hey I wanted to let folks know that on my 2017 SR Tacoma there is a software update for the basic radio without navigation (or with navigation). I ran it tonight on my Tacoma and noticed a bug fixed for inferior sound levels. Thanks for the good info!

Thanks for the video. New subscriber here. An audio related question. I purchased my 15 Tacoma new in Hawaii. The Satellite radio feature was disabled since Satellite radio doesn’t work on the island. I am now back in the Mainland US and am interested in enabling this feature if possible. Do you have any leads on how/if this can be done? Thanks, JB

[@Tacomaholic]

Greetings and thanks for the sub! Is this for Sirius or one of those services?

[@dalegill3939]

Thx I think. The prior "Toyota" link shows no update available for a 2014 entune plus. Hmm...was the link in error? Thx in advance

[@BruceWayne-oz6lr]

I made the mistake of updating my 2020 Taco, and now the radio doesn't remember where I left off. If I set the music to USB, then play a song, shut off the engine and turn back on, it gets memory loss and says Audio Off, and doesn't go back to USB. AND the phone memory storage forgets my favorites, but the radio presets stayed. What a royal Pain!!

[@javis1873]

Thanks for the info!! I updated my 3rd gen tacoma entune, no navigation. I didnt notice major changes, but i can now dial numbers, scroll down my contacts and call history while moving, before the update my screen would freeze "for security reasons"

[@Tacomaholic]

Awesome, glad to hear the update helped Javi!

[@cancer2900]

Thanks for the video! Is a thumb drive format in NTFS or 32 bit?

[@Tacomaholic]

I'm not sure on the formatting.

[@cancer2900]

@@Tacomaholic I learned it's 32-Bit (or the really old 16-Bit can be used too). Although most newly bought thumb drives come formatted 32-Bit by default, when used for transferring files in today's modern computers, the NTFS file system is typically 64-Bit used for today's large media files. Movies, Videos, etc.

[@55jplock]

I just noticed something else today about my etune update I am now able to dial my cell phone on the radio with the vehicle in motion. Another quirk now fixed.

Hmmm I wonder what the deal was then. It wasn’t picking up the USB drive at all. Although it did detect it with the start up image and display off image process when I did that. I’m going to try later today with a different USB drive to see if that works. Is there a special folder name you need to put the update file into like in other methods of uploading via USB?

[@Tacomaholic]

Check here first to see if there's a specific update for your truck: securedp.toyota.com/download-app/getUpdates If an update there doesn't fix those issues you might try disconnecting your battery for an hour or so and that MIGHT reset some parts of the head unit. I say MIGHT because I think some parts aren't affected by that.

I believe the updates just resolve small bugs with the system ... nothing big like adding new features.

[@KickDrumKid23]

Is this still the most current update? I have never updated Entune on my 2017 Tacoma. What are the changes?
