Download Toyota Radio Updates

Posted : admin On 11/10/2019
So I've been doing some research and reading that the Entune App Suite has an app that you can connect and that this app will feed your car any firmware updates currently available.
What about the Entune Multimedia Unit (just the base Entune unit, not the fancy one with navigation/apps)? Is there a way to update the firmware for the base unit? Does it even get firmware updates?
I know I can't connect to my car using the Entune app. It asks for the car VIN and doesn't recognize my car as having a compatible Entune unit. So I can't get firmware updates that way. I'm having trouble with a particular phone that won't display song information or a way to control the device, and everywhere I read suggests updating the firmware. Just trying to figure out how to do that or if there is even an update available.
Thanks!

  3. Oct 04, 2018  I checked today and the download page shows a 'new' update with a release of September 8th. When I go to download it the file looks like it is named the same as the June file, at first I thought this was odd but maybe a Toyota thing so the radio.
