How to use the Entune Audio Scout GPS Link App

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

I installed this App in my mom's 2017 Camry XLE & it works well so far. I have the regular navigation system in my 2015 Camry XSE V6 & it works very well. Don't use it much, but it's nice to have when I go on long drives.

[@mayankk2800]

I have the same vehicle but i dont see that app in the cars dashboard.

I am a new Prius V owner. I'm trying to understand why this is any better than the Entune navigation that comes with the car. I read things like "cell phone driven navigation" and that means nothing to me. How about a bit on "why you should use Scout GPS Navigation instead of Entune's navigation" ?

[@drewj8559]

You shouldn't. This is for people who DIDN'T get the built-in nav. They can still get navigation by syncing their phone and using this app.

[@drewj8559]

You shouldn't. This is for people who's Entune suite does NOT include Nav. You bought a car with the nav option, or a trim level that includes it.

[@tinamina49]

jschrempp I loved the navigation system on my 15 Prius. Very disappointed that I got talked into trading it in for this!!!!!!!

[@WxStar101]

Thank goodness we didn't buy the 2018 Camry XLE at all. While our intention is gas saving by getting a 4-cyl or Hybrid, the problem is that having this type for a Navigation system will eat up all your data. What's more? What if you are driving in a new place and get no signal (suppose I drive from SF to LA on Highway 5 and suddenly signal goes away), then my navigation signal will also go away. They should have kept the Entune in every Camry XLE regardless rather than just the V6 (which we didn't buy). Satellite navigation without your phone is still a much better alternative than this. That's why we are opting for a second hand Avalon or a Honda Accord Touring (Hybrid or 4-cyl)

[@alexisbaranek9604]

I own a 2012 camry which came with the old entune and stand alone Gps that does not use any cell phone data and I love it. Also originally toyota was going to charge to keep using the Entune ap which used MY phone data and simply put things on the screen and they later decided that would be free. So NOW one has to buy the highest priced car which includes a lot of things I don't care to have in order to get stand alone navigation or be stuck with using MY data AND paying after the trial period to use this ap? Additionally now they are pulling the whole thing again about charging for the "new" entune after the trial period. it is annoying me and making me reconsider even buying another toyota!

Just bought a 16 Crewmax SR5 TRD. Awesome video very helpful THANKYOU!

[@SludgeDrummer]

No heads up MAP????? Thats number one in any navigation app. Someone should be fired

[@RubinGnoni]

This is awesome. Would it display Uber and Lyft navigation systems?

[@DaveDurkee]

SO this is great for just general point to point nav, but say I just want to have a map up when I'm driving in an unfamiliar area so I can see the various different streets etc to decide how and which way to go, is there any way to get a map up on the screen when NOT navigating to a particular point????

[@theg7675]

That's what I'd like to know. Why not allow the screen to be filled with the Scout GPS screen on the phone? Just having the words spoken to me is worthless..

[@SirMaxima2011]

will scout gps will work on 2019 toyota highlander le model with 2.0 entune multimedia system

[@irmaadan8824]

Can you tell me how to save an address once entered in the Scout GPS?

[@betha3603]

I just bought a 2018 limited. Have things changed or do I still need to “persuade” my Highlander to get scout app via my cell phone data? And Bluetooth

[@Dougw133]

This is the worst navigation I have ever used.

[@ToyotaofGladstone8775655228]

+Dougw133 If you are having trouble using it feel free to call me directly anytime at [phone] for help. It is a very easy system once you understand how to use it and is much easier than the majority of the systems out there.

[@missmarcicolettle78]

Dougw133 I heard

[@newkmatt]

I have a 2016 Highlander Limited and when I downloaded the Scout App on my IPhone and while the phone is connected via Bluetooth I can not get it to connect. Is there a chance that my car radio/nav isn't the one that is required?

[@ab4qc]

I had the same problem.

[@betha3603]

Me too.. 2018 Highlander. Sheesh did we pick the wrong car, or what. I was so concerned about all the other little details and the price and the low used car inventory (thanks Covid. Thanks Obama cash/clunkers)…. That I failed to even realize that there would be 2018 vehicle with no apple CarPlay connection!!! What the heck Toyota! I last drove a Toyota 2007 to 2013. Guess they went downhill technologically, in the ensuing 9 yrs 😠

[@seftondowner9317]

Does it work on the 2013 Tacoma

[@abdulazizalsaygh8676]

I down loaded the App in my phone but I could not download it in my car. or even the app is not appearing in my dash board thanks

[@ab4qc]

I had the same problem with a 2016 Tacoma

[@elizabethd134]

@@ab4qc did u guys ever figure it out?

[@drewj8559]

Not a great GPS app, and I feel like it's almost intentional. If they integrated with Apple CarPlay or the Google equivalent, nobody would bother buying their trim levels that come with Nav.

[@CarlBirdNJ]

The camry doesn't even offer Navigation. Only this. Nice car. Horrible software decisions.

[@drewj8559]

They do, at least they do now (and as far back as 2015 at least). It's an option though. The nav isn't bad, it's just not good either. Making the car compatible with Apple or Google and their auto-updated nav software would be way better for the consumer. But I suppose Toyota is not overly concerned with what's better for the consumer, only their bottom line.

[@betha3603]

Can’t get the phone app to sync /connect car with app. My Bluetooth is connected to the car but the app keeps telling me I am not and that I “need help pairing.” I walk through the steps, and yep, I’m paired (turned off and back on just in case). Still the app wont recognize what both my iPhone 13 and my Highlander indicates. They ARE connected by Bluetooth. Please somebody help! Just bought a used 2018 Highlander Limited.

[@texasrebeljd]

Will this work with a 2014 Tacoma entune audio plus face plate id 57090?! Radio looks the exact same, but the software might be different.

[@ToyotaofGladstone8775655228]

+texasrebeljd The software is different and this feature is new for the 2016 model.

[@techstermb]

I have a 2015 Tacoma Access Cab ... base model with the base Entune system ... if I upgrade to Entune Audio Plus, will I be able to use SCOUT for navigation?

[@ToyotaofGladstone8775655228]

If you were to upgrade to the system with the Scout GPS - it doesn't come with all of the Entune Audio Plus systems.

[@techstermb]

Do you know how much the "Entune Audio Plus w/Scout GPS" costs?

[@RichardRSmith]

You can not do that Marshall. It is the single most frequent question I see on Toyota Owners dot com. You had better study the owner's manual BEFORE you buy. Once you buy a head unit (radio) that is the one that car will FOREVER only have. Got it ?

[@ianrichardson8278]

The voice prompt navigation blows. If it had a like map feature like google maps it would be much better

[@aloevera666]

2015 venza does Scott GPS still available

[@playamex10]

2018 Taco sr5 can i make the gos scout stay on the screen instead of it disappearing every 5 seconds?

[@dinhscot]

Worst GPS and app from Toyota yet. I'm gonna get ride of my 2016 4Runner to something that has real Google maps

[@ToyotaofGladstone8775655228]

Why not just upgrade to one with one of the other Navigation systems?

[@courrey6563]

What if the update is already installed I dont see the app or anything

[@courrey6563]

My car is a rav4 le

[@jamiemcdonald4279]

the LE rav4 doesnt have entune audio plus. It requires the "entune audio plus with connected navigation" if you dont see that on your window sticker it is not available on your vehicle.

[@mikehowell367]

Just bought a2017 tacoma. Vin # does not work with the entune app. Anyone have a problem like this?

[@ToyotaofGladstone8775655228]

+Mike Howell did you ever get this corrected?

[@johnw4067]

Same issue here....19 SR5. I am guessing this program doesn't work anymore. Just use my phone and google maps instead.

[@steveoflyz]

Worst. GPS. Ever.

[@theg7675]

This "thing'" is worthless. Toyota should be ashamed of themselves to put something out like this.
