I just took my Camry in for a 6 month checkup and they did update the firmware of the Entune. At times my iPhone doesn't communicate with the Entune very well. I have been able to convert some of my favorite CDs to a USB drive that I can use in the Entune system, but that takes time. You are better off using a Garmin or the Google map on your phone. You better have a very good data plan with your cell phone company, because you will use a lot of data for the apps that Toyota wants you to use. Not me!! I had several problems that the emergency phone numbers you enter in the system would disappear which happened 3 times. Per Toyota, the Entune is what customers want. "Toyota must get their act together when it comes to their Entune system or so called stereo system. That doesn't help those of us with a 2018. The say it will be fixed with Apple CarPlay in 2019 models.
Toyota grudgingly admits that there can be problems sometimes but blames everyone else. I can't believe Toyota put this in the newly-designed model. The navigation quits if a phone call comes in, even if one doesn't. From day one, it hasn't kept a connection. Almost impossible to get any music except FM radio." I wish they had the Apple protocol system instead of the Entune.
USB connection stops working while usindg entune gps app." "Connecting iphone with entune doesn’t work in certain situations. Shame on Toyota for pushing this system through an otherwise fine automobile." I highly recommend NOT getting a vehicle with this feature. Scout Navigation GPS with Entune 3.0 is inadequate, bordering on dangerous. The navigation, through Scout GPS is slow and sometimes even inaccurate. Entune 3.0 is up-to-date, as is my iPhone 8. This feature works perfectly fine with a Samsung 8 phone (Android). When connecting to the USB port, along with another USB device, the Scout Navigation GPS only works in Turns function I.e., no map display. "Entune 3.0 does not work properly with my Apple iPhone 8 Plus. The screen worked fine."Įxternal music device interface (e.g., smart phone, MP3 player) When I got home I turned off the car, then restarted it again. "The screen stopped working while I was driving the car. If I were buying again, I would purchase a different brand of automobile because of poor quality navigation and entertainment system on the Toyota Camry." There is no internal mapping or GPS installed. Ours drops off 90% of the time, then we can't reconnect to anything but the radio without stopping the car and shutting off the engine. Toyota should be embarrassed to have Scout installed. "The etune system and especially the Scout navigation system are terrible. "I have taken it in several times, but it is still going blank"
"I had a software patch for ApplePlay following which I have the display freeze and sometimes the phone connection goes off." The knobs, volume controls and touch screen did not respond to anything." Until I turned off the engine I was unable to use the Entune unit for anything. This allowed the Entune unit to reset itself. I was able to stop the phone dialing by disconnecting my phone but the only way to unfreeze the screen, was to pull over to the side of the road, turn off the engine and then restart the car. "The screen froze and then started dialing telephone numbers by itself. Also navigation directions are not that accurate" This renders the GPS unusable when I need it. "Entune apps freeze periodically have to restart Entune on phone to resolve, sometimes it does not. System locks-up, does not accurately position the car and therefore directions are wrong."
"Problems with the SCOUT navigation system accessed through the ENTUNE package. Toyota sold this car knowing there was a compatibility problem and I still don't have what I paid for." I still can't plug the phone in and use the GPS. Only repeated calls to Toyota California advised work arounds.
Also, touch screen controls are too distracting for safe driving" Two of my colleagues have had 4 such events.!" Within 2 months, 2 curb collisions with front bumpers, nearly $1000.00 damage. "Cameras did not read sidewalk curbs of various heights.
