Toyota Tundra Touch Screen & Navigation Review

[@jakemarlow8998]

Thanks TD34, I just got a 2016 Tundra and have been procrastinating about figuring this out.

[@lelandfranklinjr]

Used frequent flyer miles to Rhode Island to pickup my Tundra TRD Pro....and drove back to Indiana. The deal was worth it and tired of waiting locally for allocation. Like the navigation as I depended on it heavily for 14 hour drive through 7 states getting home. But, voice prompts are only ok even with training and took a while to get POIs along route, instead of nearby...sometimes behind me. Honestly, probably like the Garmin better, built in is handy having it in the dash. Eventually will have to update maps and wish there were more choices for the small screen by speedometer....mph or fuel used would be nice. Love the TRD pro, though, and well worth it. Keep up the great videos. Helped me decide on this truck. It's a 2017 and with all the driviing have already put 2k on the clock in 3 weeks and love it!

[@TundraDude34]

+Leland Franklin the fact that you flew to another state and drove it home puts you near the top in my book lol. Thats one of my bucket list things right there! Im glad my videos could help. Nothing makes me happier to hear I assisted someone with a Tundra or Tundra related purchase.

[@PookieMan80]

I went to my local dealership and they told me the closest TRD Pro cab config was 2000 miles away. Congrats on your new truck!

[@lelandfranklinjr]

My local dealer was great, but finally turned to cars.com. The Rhode Island folks were running a grand opening end of year special... The shipping was like 1,000, so using free air miles and 79.95 for a hotel it worked great...also able to visit sister in Ohio on way home. Good luck and WELL worth the wait!!

[@TundraDude34]

+Leland Franklin welcome to the TRD Pro family!

[@PookieMan80]

I don't see a problem with the Entune system. I had it on a loaner car when my Tacoma was getting the frame replaced. Personally, I like it because it's easy to use and pretty responsive.

[@TundraDude34]

+PookieMan80 yea I really like it. Im sure there are better systems out there but entune is just fine.

[@RobMotive]

Dude! That system has more than enough options. I think the issue is presentation (appearance). Even though it has everything, it looks "dated" to me. The screen just doesn't look like it's seamlessly integrated into the dash (if that makes sense?). I'm going to put up a vid of the Rebel's system and you can tell me what you think. Nice video!😎

[@TundraDude34]

+Vlogging Adventures with Rob I agree with you Rob. The Ram has a sick center stack. 8.4 inch screen 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@tundra375tundra9]

Great demo, I learn a lot from watching your video clips...awesome job

[@TundraDude34]

+TUNDRA 375 TUNDRA I appreciate you watching!

[@kova_motive]

I like all the features...way more than my Infiniti! Nice video explaining all it does.

[@TundraDude34]

+AlexKayRN thanks brotha!

[@brendenourth]

just looked into this. Entune is standard feature on Limited, Platinum, and TRD Pro trim levels. Shown as an option for SR5. just an FYI

[@TundraDude34]

+Brenden Ourth very weird. I guess we learn something new everyday

[@gearrunner]

Thank you for showing how to use the Nav. I am going to Miami soon and will need Nav and I’m to lazy to read up how to use it lol.

[@TundraDude34]

+Gear Runner lol

[@realJohnLab]

I like it.. simple stupid. I like options so having the ability to hook apple or android would be nice. I use the navigation mostly as a backup when I am driving somewhere. I have a general idea how to get there it just helps me along. You have to get the tundradude logo on the boot up screen.

[@TundraDude34]

+John Lab thats a great idea!

[@FinalWarsGodjira]

with entune app on the phone, if you do a google search for something and get the address... will the app allow you to auto start the navigation and plug in the address phone from your search on the phone?

[@TundraDude34]

+FinalWarsGodjira i should give that a try

[@antonioponce6544]

This unit costs $1400 and the technology looks old. I now have a Pioneer AVH 4400 NEX unit in my 07 Tundra with wireless Carplay. Love it. Hey if you have to have something that is stock then I guess this would work but I prefer aftermarket.

[@cjgardner2892]

Great video! My 2018 will have the NAV. Any idea if the 2018's all have the Entune 3.0? Or still just the 2.0? Thanks again! Great video!

[@TundraDude34]

Not sure if the 18s got an updated entune

[@The_real_brian_e]

My 2018 uses the standard Toyota Entune not the Entune 3.0

[@tw8438]

Thank you for this. I am sure this is a dumb question given I am no stranger to Toyota and Entune but how do you change the sound settings (base, treble,etc)? Great videos!

[@TundraDude34]

+Todd Warren should be a button on the bottom that says sound 👍🏼

[@tw8438]

TundraDude34 ah, yes..thanks!!

[@plcmtny3971]

Thanks for the demo. Have you ever had the system leave map mode ten minutes into your drive? Why would it do that?

[@aamsowens]

looks like a winner to me,off the subject can you get push button start on pro?

[@TundraDude34]

+Andrew Owens not a Tundra TRD Pro, but u can on a Taco Pro 😉

[@julionazario7228]

How you got those apps in your radio? I know you said you downloaded them. Maybe show a how to video.

[@TundraDude34]

+Julio Nazario if you have an apple phone, go to app store and search toyota entune. Once you download that, create an account and connect to your car. You may need your vin. Its all thru bluetooth

[@julionazario7228]

TundraDude34 I tried doing that and now his is what I got: The VIN you have entered is invalid. Please check to ensure you have typed your VIN correctly and the vehicle you are trying to register is Entune-capable. I have a 2016 Toyota Tundra SR5 Crew Max with TRD Package basic radio without the JBL.

[@TundraDude34]

+Julio Nazario hmm, it should work at that trim level 🤔. You have the SR5 upgrade package correct? (Floor mounted shifter, center console, etc)

[@julionazario7228]

TundraDude34 Yes, is still giving me the same message. I'll have to call Toyota and see. Is there any other way you might know? Thanks for your quick response.

[@TundraDude34]

+Julio Nazario no problem whatsoever. I think your best bet is to call and let them figure it out. You should be entune capable. My 2014 SR5 TRD was.

[@brendenourth]

Good video, but it is really sad that Toyota any applies the Entune system to certain models. I have the CrewMax SR5 TRD and after spending $40k+ you don't have the same interface that you show in the video. Side note , I really wish the center tach display was able to show vehicle speed. The 4runner does!!! Thanks again for all the great content.

[@TundraDude34]

+Brenden Ourth the center screen should have ALOT more! Speed, individual tire psi, lifetime mpg just to name a few. I also think you shouldnt have to download entune app, it should just be there at this price point

[@brendenourth]

TundraDude34 Agreed 100%. seems like it should just be a firmware update from Toyota! Safety issue

[@TundraDude34]

+Brenden Ourth i hope the Tundra engineers read my wants and needs for this upcoming next gen lol

[@asaffarfar1529]

Looking forward to it.

[@TundraDude34]

+Asaf Farfar 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@davidbrock9369]

I just purchased a new 2017 Tundra Limited. The Navigation system has already proved to be a disappointment. I have a left turn near my house onto the main street. I have been making that turn for the last 20 years. There is even a left turn signal at this intersection. When I put in a destination that should obviously take me to/through that left turn, all 3 routes presented take convoluted routes to *avoid* the left turn at that intersection. I will have a difficult time trusting this navigation system to lead me on unfamiliar roads when it can barely get me out of the neighborhood correctly. I guess it's back to using Google Maps on the iPhone/IPad. :(

[@TundraDude34]

Sorry to hear that dude. Make sure its they updated the software

[@davidbrock9369]

The Entune S/W is up to date. The map version is 05-36-51 2016-05-01, so it looks like the map may be a year old. I have read that map updates cost over $200, which is ridiculous this day and age, when I can get continuous map updates with Google Maps or Apple Maps for free.

[@gregalberts9609]

I have a 2012 Tundra, it has the older style radio. I really want to buy and install a touch screen radio/navigation. Any recommendations??

[@TundraDude34]

+Greg Alberts there are some great setups out there, just depends on your price range. May I also suggest a new sound system to compliment the nav?

[@fangorojo]

When you drive, the map is it static or rotate?... Thanks in advance for your answers!.

[@TundraDude34]

Ill check when im out there next time, but i think static

[@robestey5628]

Loving my 2015 Tundra. The Nav is great but for some reason the "address" where you can punch in adresses has gone grey. Do you know of a fix for this. Thanks

[@danwesson1934]

When I have gps on, it’s minimizes the screen into a dual display and shows my phone, even though it’s not use. Anyway to stop that. I’ll have gps in full screen but seems default to dual display after a couple minutes. Thanks

[@fiyhighboys]

Very helpful video.

[@TundraDude34]

+JulioR38 thanks for watching!

[@fiyhighboys]

TundraDude34 you're welcome I test rode a SR5 TRD off-road crew cab a few years ago and the guy didn't even explain all the stuff the entrance system to do he just show me the basic radio and phone that was it.

[@TundraDude34]

+JulioR38 thank goodness for the TundraDude! Haha

[@fiyhighboys]

TundraDude34 for real your videos are very helpful.

[@TundraDude34]

+JulioR38 glad i can help! I do it for you guys

[@stevolene]

Can you download the Toyota intune app for a 2015 TRD off road. Truck is a SR5; not a platinum or limited

[@johnjiii414]

I like mine. It’s user friendly, compared to my old bmw with Idrive, the Yota is way better.

[@TundraDude34]

+John J III its very user friendly, For sure

[@Mikp-zw3cs]

Toyota has I think 2 or 3 different radios on my system It didn't come with the entune I have to use scout and it sucks bad I would rather pull a paper map out and drive by it than use scout, I have the Xp edition tundra with the premium package not sure if that matters but I would rather have the entune on mine

[@TundraDude34]

You arent missing much lol

[@Mitch1977]

Tundra dude help! How to you turn the day mode back on?!

[@AngelRodriguez-mg6xw]

Do all tundra come with navigation?

[@tinahanrahan1084]

How do you adjust the brightness on the navigation?

[@juliustopacio8380]

Question bro. Just got a Tundra and I got this micro chip. What’s that for?

[@38KSW]

USB doesn't work How do I get it to work so I can listen to music on my usb stick

[@davidd6854]

I love mine in my 2017 Tundra but for some reason when I Connect my iPhone 8 to via Bluetooth, the screen and radio will shut off and restart. Any one know why? Is it something I’m doing wrong? I still have a lot to learn about it

[@cristianlopez6466]

Do you happen to know where the sd map card is located for the 2016 tundra

[@TundraDude34]

Mine was located to the right of the screen

[@armandocastro9904]

how do u reset the navigation on a 2015 tundra?

[@gutterusa]

thanks for the video ,,,

[@campermike8879]

I guess I'm too old school and its too complicated for my liking. lol Play music is what I want. But navigation is nice.

[@TundraDude34]

+CamperMike yea its not bad. Good just in case!

[@mdubiansky603]

Never heard brake fluid called brake oil before. haha

[@TundraDude34]

+Mike Dubiansky as i read it, I thought the same exact thing lol

[@mdubiansky603]

I guess it makes sense as brake fluid is essentially hydraulic oil. Could also just be something getting lost in translation (I know the Tundra is made here but the radio was likely at least designed in Japan). At work I've had to go through manuals and other technical docs we get from Germany. They're already translated to English but sometimes the translations are a bit wonky and that's what this is. I also read somewhere that the high beam switch in the first Hondas imported to the US was referred to as a "light hooter". Figure that out. haha. Does Toyota lock out functions when the truck is in motion?

[@TundraDude34]

+Mike Dubiansky yes they do. For instance, you cant set nav when the truck is moving.

[@mominagha]

In Asia Brake fluid is always called Brake oil

[@tinaalderson3733]

Don't have a apps button don't know why

[@davidmercado7607]

How do you update the navigation system on2016 tundra

[@TundraDude34]

I think you have to take it in to the dealer for that

[@38KSW]

Nav won't update

[@aloevera666]

It sucks cause they got rid of Pandoraand other apps and stick your with slacker and I heart radio

[@mossymaple]

Tesla radios look promising
