i want to update mine but model id doesnt match, how did you do it?

[@odendahlc]

Thanks for sharing this information. I updated my RAV 4. The only thing I would add is to shut off the automatic update option. If it isn't shut off, the system doesn't see the updates on the USB. Other then that it work like a charm. Thank you again

Although they offer OTA (over the air) updates using your paired cellphone, the new firmware versions don't always appear and it might say "no updates available", even when there are updates. I found this out today when trying to do the OTA method. I had to resort to the method shown in this video. Thanks for the info.

I kept getting "active subscription required" message. I mistakenly renamed the files which I thought the instructions on Toyota's website was telling me to do AND the usb drive I was using wasn't formatted correctly. I am on Mac and formatted it to fat32. I used exFAT before that and it wasn't working.

[@Queen1111]

Hello friend, I'm looking for the stereo firmware from Toyota camry 2013. I have a problem with my Bluetooth and I think that if I reload the firmware it could be fix.

[@LionRunner]

With my experience some times removing the phone from headunit saved phones and removing the headunit from phones saved Bluetooth list and then start connecting like a new phone might also help. Yes definitely see if 2013 Camry has any downloads from the Toyota website. If that didn't help your Toyota dealership could help you to factory reset your headunit.

[@benoitmungu741]

Hi brother, Thank you for sharing but i have one question is this work in Europe as we don’t have access to that website anyway i succeeded to to download the set up but i afraid to run on my rav4 Europe version?

[@LionRunner]

I don't think it would be a good idea to download USA firmware to be used in Europe as when I check for something like 2021 Rav4 I see fixes like "Incorrect FM and XM genre information." in multimedia & maps update, so it might mess up your good working settings. General operating system section firmware update does not seem to have region specific fixes. But I'm not sure if its good to get US region firmware to Euro. Sorry..

[@krystalquintanilla3248]

I'm trying to update my navigation system in my 2017 Toyota Corolla. The website listed sent me to the Toyota firmware update but they don't have the navigation update only the audio update. It says visit the dealer..... any ideas on how I can update the navigation? I really want Google maps available on my system but it only has scout navigation and I don't like it at all

Hey there, I anticipate this message finds you . I just did this update but the navigation update didn’t show when I put the usb in only the radio did. I’ve tried other usb and multiple times downloading just the navigation update but for some reason that one doesn’t show. Do you have any suggestions you could give for this to try out. Thank you !

[@LionRunner]

I didn't do anything special. I just formatted using my windows laptop and followed "Software Download Instructions" on Toyota firmware site.

[@lynxastro6905]

Hello! The website says i have the most update firmware but i don't have apple carplay yet i'm eligible for an upgrade? how to do i fix this? thanks.

[@LionRunner]

Sadly if your headunit didn't come with apple carplay from factory this firmware will not add it. This firmware is update version to existing features. Will not add new. Sorry.

[@mohammadsalehi3450]

I went step by step, but my car aske subscription to start updating! Is there anyway to circumvent the subscription?

[@LionRunner]

That's very interesting. I just checked for few 4Runner years and I did not get any subscription option. When I select 2020, 2021 I get the download options and when I select 2019 it says there is no update. Did not see subscription option.

Hello my friend.. I have 2019 Corolla I can't use navigation system. Some people use same software for update multimedia and navigation system. Is it safety or not. Can you sugguestion this way. Thanks

Hi Ismail, if you have problems like can't use navigation that is definitely something you should put Toyota dealership attention.

[@LionRunner]

Hi Paul, you would have to go to the site "www.toyota.com/firmware-updates#" -> Enter Model = Prius then Enter year = 2012. It will show if you have any firmware update. If so you can do the same step as I did downloading that firmware and then installing that to your car. If that doesn't work you would have to show it to the dealer.

[@Anexyoo]

So I updated when I send this message but now it’s doing the same thing no audio but everything works for 2020 4Runner I hear the beep as well . What should I do ?

[@LionRunner]

I would send a message from Toyota Owners login and inform the problem you faced.

[@smallnuts2]

Thank you so much. Now I can update my 2020 4runner. PS, know of any good navigation apps?

For apps I use Google maps if I use android auto and for trails I use OnX now and previously Gaia. But I'm not a good resource to ask about OnX and Gaia. Wish they were easy as using Google maps..😀

[@anthonyviscusi4042]

What is the advantage of doing the update? Love the video...thanks.

[@LionRunner]

According to Toyota firmware site- 1) Apple CarPlay does not start immediately after connecting iPhone. 2) Intermittent Radio Rebooting. 3) Tune knob doesn’t change the track in all audio sources. 4) Music does not resume when changing the volume, and the audio source is paused. 5) Incorrect FM and XM genre information. 6) Blower motor mode does not match the actual blower mode.

As for my case, 2021 4runner the navigation update come from the yearly subscription service "Dynamic Navigation". For pre-2020 5th gen 4runners with navigation you need to get the newest navigation microsd card. The map update is stored on the microsd card.

Does the 2014 Camry hybrid have a gps sd card? Check your headunit for a small flap like thing to open to access the SD card for maps. If so you can buy the newest map by searching for Map Update 86271-0E073 on Toyota parts site or Amazon. Un plug the old card and insert the new.

Per the firmware update site "Navigation and Map updates are not available on this software download site." 😥

[@dammorgan107]

does this update all the map info?

[@LionRunner]

Per the Toyota site its only headunit firmware. In my case maps are downloaded from cloud as long as I pay the monthly/ yearly subscription for dynamic navigation services. Previous 4Runner system would require the latest map microsd card.

Can this be done (over the air)

[@LionRunner]

Correct. Software can be updated over the air. You would have to check "Multimedia Owner's Manual" to see if your Toyota is equipped for over-the-air updates. Or try going to Settings -> Software update sub menu. If that's not available you would have to go with USB update.

[@mrsbobbysingh7155]

You save yourself £150 which is what the dealer charges to up 😱called them today and they told me the price has changed to this new amount 😂

[@LionRunner]

I think £150 is for map update right? This firmware update is just the firmware/ software update. It will not update the maps. It is to make the software side of things to make it more stable and correct any bugs. If you are looking for map update and your maps are on microsd card search on Amazon or similar site (For US its about 35bucks). For firmware for UK I cannot suggest you to use VPN to change location to USA as it might mess-up regional settings simple as radio settings.

This is only for the firmware (software portion). Toyota site does not state that it update maps. In my case 4Runner with Dynamic navigation maps are downloaded from cloud as long as you have subscription or for previous years of 5th gen 4Runner would require the newest microsd card with map data. Would have to contact dealer to update maps for different vehicles.
