Toyota Entune® for Android
It never understands what I'm saying even when I'm reading word for word from the suggested commands. The navigation is the worst even when I'm typing in the address, it can't find it. I just use Google Maps. Then, when I arrive at a destination that I will need to find again, I program it to remember the location I'm at. The only way TOYOTA Navigation can find anything is when you're already there. Pandora never works unless I turn off my phone and then Let it go through the restart process inside the car.
Lack of voice to text makes me regret buying a Toyota Prius. It's just frustrating to hear a text and be unable to reply except for stupid quick responses, which I never use. Why not assimilate more with Android and the Google voice to text (which works very well). Your fancy features and display suck now.
When I turn off my car, Pandora starts blaring on my phone, and it will not let me turn it off or volume it down without resarting my phone. Each time I restart my car I need to restart my phone to have Pandora start playing... if I make 6 quick stops between home and work I need to restart my phone 6 times to listen to music. The phone connects as it should, I can make and receive call, texts and emails, but Pandora logo just spins and No music comes out unless I restart the phone.
Absolute crap. Let us route voice control to Google Now and get rid of this preinstalled idiot who doesn't understand anything I say or interact with any apps I use. Complete trash. Completely ruins the "infotainment" system in my car. 0 stars
I keep trying to give this app chance after chance and it has yet to tell me the VIN is valid for the vehicle that I purchased from a Toyota dealership. Every time I enter the VIN it tells me it is invalid and tells me to try again. I'm not entering anything in wrong because I check, double check, and triple check. The app hasn't worked for me at all. I had high hopes for it, yet it disappoints me time after time.
I hate everything about this app, down to it's very existence. I hate it so much that I will never buy another Toyota as long as it exists! I constantly have weird problems with it not connecting, not starting or not stopping... Toyota needs to learn to use industry standard communication protocols instead of trying to invent their own! My Chevy NEVER has issues like this, plus it supports Android Auto AND Apple Carplay!
It used to work all the time, after the last two updates it has stopped working. I used to just turn the Bluetooth on my phone on and the magic would happen on its own. Now I have to connect, disconnect, connect again, disconnect, restart my phone, restart the car, get out of the car and spin in a circle while singing "I'm a little teapot" and pray to the gods for the app to work. Sometimes, even sacrifice a goat.
Hated it! Toyota, when you send me my survey I will rate you a ZERO in every category due to my 2017 Tacoma not being able to use Android Auto! It's 2017 you Smug SOBs thinking you can do better! You should know better! You're all Giant Idiots! I will be looking for a new truck next year!
I bought my Toyota today and even the Dealer at Toyota couldn't get the app to work. What a disappointment. This was one of the features I was looking forward using. I really Hated that. You make a major purchase on a first car and expect to use all the features of it coming off the car lot.
Audio apps won't connect 95% of the time. Extremely frustrating. I should be able to control my apps with the touch screen and not my phone. Isn't that what I paid for to get the navigation and entertainment systrm? Apparently I paid to have it routinely piss me off. Thanks Toyota.
All I have to do is shut off the car to get gas, and when I get back in it doesn't work and will not reconnect to my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge . this is absolutely ridiculous. This has been going on for a long time now
When I first installed the app it was great and then most of the features stopped working and had done everything I know to fix it with no such luck. Been down for months and there is no customer service that I am aware of to contact. This feature took away my loyalty for a Toyota product.
Obviously this is not working, too many people, like myself are having connection issues and my phone is compatible. Just when Toyota Etunes, when are you going to take us seriously and do something about it. Your updates are utterly useless. Maybe we need to let people know just how this etunes sucks beyond this app. In today's world where people spend a lot of time in there vehicles, the Bluetooth is a must have.
So.many small.problems! Half of features do not work on a consistant basis. Jave to.fuddle around on side of road, try to solve.problems. Plus trying to get some of features to load is next to impossible! The.only feature that seems to work quite well is the reminder to.renew the Toyota road assistance feature!. I feel a MAJOR update is in order and not with a new vehicle either!
Works almost perfectly in my 2013 Camry with my Note 4. Only 1 minor problem, not all my Pandora channels load sometimes. Phone connects immediately without any issues and works great! Don't know about the newer cars but I see people having issues with the navigation system, I didn't think it was part of the entune app but was part if the Sirius XM Satellite and navigation package. I have no issues with it at all. Great app and car!
I want apps I know how to use and can adjust before I ever get in the vehicle. I dislike the map feature and navigation and want to use Google Car Play. I want different colors and the choice of what app I am looking at, not it constantly reverting viable to something else. I want a clock visible at all times, and radio. I want to run things with my voice not my fingers. Mostly I WANT TOYOTA TO READ THE REVIEWS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP MANY MANY TIMES. you'd have millions of down loads if you would fix the problems. They make a very high end car feel like a piece of junk sometimes.
It always says Pandora unable to start. Please try again later. Ugh! Update as of 2/23/17 New phone still have the same issues with Pandora and IHeartradio. They either can't connect or are busy. All I can do is force stop the app and then connect again.
Had a 2010 Trundra Platinum app didn't work... Traded for a 2012 Tundra platinum still doesn't work... You would think when you buy a Platinum the dang thing would work. I took the truck to Toyota they said my new Droid was not supported... My wife's 2015 Highlander immediately recognised the same phone. Toyota told me the 2015 Highlander did not support the new Droid but apparently it does.... Toyota is all i own 2 Highlanders and a Tundra. I won't buy any other brand. This is a embarrassment to say the least. Especially when my son's Chevy truck saw my phone when he turned the key...
Toyota what is going on with this joke. Entune won't even install now. Messages are getting worse not better. You need to update this more often than you do it does not keep up with providers updates. You are still trying to KILL somebody or may already have. This is the most DANGEROUS option that could have been installed in my new vehivle. I think it is time you do something about this immediately. I am sure with all the complaints on here WE could start a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT real easy. Please do something about this before we start getting reports of DEATHS. I will NEVER purchase another Toyota. This 2016 Tacoma has been my absolute worst new vehicle experience ever and Toyota corporation doesn't even care to hear about it. Just answers all day that there is nothing wrong with my vehicle. You need to act now before this goes to the next level.
Worked okay in the beginning. Now if I am playing Pandora or other audio out and shut the vehicle off , when I get back in and start the vehicle I get nothing but skipping whether it is Pandora or Amazon Prime for example. Sometimes the app will not disconnect and my phone plays music but the only way to turn the volume down or to stop the music is to reboot the phone. This is a flaw that Toyota must fix exclamation point.! Other problems with weather app says it's constantly downloading data. The only way to get the extended forecast when it does this is to go to the radar and then go back to the extended forecast. One last thing many times it says there's a connectivity issue. It can only be resolved by shutting off the phone and the vehicle.
I installed it on my Motorola Droid and it performs all of the applications as designed. No problemo! Maybe its not so compatible with the Apple Turd phones?
People on the other end of phone calls can't hear me. My verbal commands to ignore incoming texts go unheeded; I must listen to them anyway. The only thing I want to do is be able to make hands free calls and I can't!
This is a worthless app! I've done the updates to the software and to the app and they don't communicate. No matter which phone, or how many times I've tried to use this it doesn't work out for me. Terrible.
What's the best way to use entune? Find a way to place your phone or tablet over your cars screen and connect it to Bluetooth. Entune is awful. It's 2017 and their is no Spotify or Android auto or Apple car play because toyota is light years behind everyone else.
I hope you are listening Toyota. People are not happy. Fix this piece of junk program before your customers start leaving you for other brands. Your cars/trucks are the best, but your Entune interface is a joke. It doesn't connect most of the time, and the way it controls my phones music library is a joke.
Bloated and should be unnecessary. Pandora and I heart radio never load. And those are the only actual functions this app has other than causing you massive frustration
I cannot get an account created for this app because it won't take the VIN # which I retyped in many times so I know it is right! Frustrating... moving on to a different app!
Doesn't work at all. Opens Pandora randomly or plays Pandora through my phone instead of the truck. Also crushes your data. Don't waste your time .
Have owned Toyotas for 40 years, from a Corona to a LandCruiser. They build awesome vehicles! Entune should be an embarassment to the company. I now have a 2017 Highlander Limited! Great Car! The flaws in Entune are too many to list. It should get a one star for being user friendly! Glitchy, etc. Toyota cannot compete with Androidauto whose maps are constantly being updated 24/7 I have had my car three months now and can point out 8 to 10 map errors just in my area The apps it allow probably pay a fee to be allow to. Toyota is big on surverys, I have never seen one just on Entunes. I am have been very loyal! However my next car will be compatible with Adroidauto!
Basically every day it has problems playing Pandora. I end up just paying it via the Pandora app, and since bluetooth is functional it plays in the car as expected. Other times, I turn off the car and it starts paying music on my phone full volume, even if I kill Bluetooth and all running apps. I have to restart my phone. This app is garbage.
The app is extremely inconsistent, whereas the majority of the time a message appears stating that it's "not available at this time". When and if it does work, I find myself getting in my car to drive somewhere, and the app takes a little over a minute to load in my vehicle, then my app signs me off on my phone. Then I'm stuck with FM radio because I opted out of Sirius, ONLY for the reason that I had this app. I am unable to log back in on my phone when I'm driving. And if the app is not working, I'm unable to use the map or fuel app. It's become annoying and I'm beginning to regret my purchase
Update:4/11/2017 Still absolutely horrible. Works randomly with no rhyme or reason. Toyota is still selling expensive cars that use this piece of poop. Toyota still doesn't care what loyal Toyota owners think about their home made crapola app. Toyota should stay out of the app business and outsource from companies that know what they are doing. Toyota is cheeeeep. Have fun hating it. Seems some folks over at Toyota decided a while ago not to put any more money into this app that was garbage from day one and could care less what you think about that simple fact. They really don't give a rats butt about how much you hate it and intentionally ignore any and all complaints. They want us all to move on just as they have. Bet the high ratings you read are fake and done by Toyota. Time to boycott them for their Entune and the GPS JUNK!
Keeps giving tether errors on Pandora. I left my car at the dealer for over a week, for a radio, only to find its entune that sucks. Pls fix this, my prius is is great, but if my radio don't work on trips, the hell with the prius
Just plain sucks. Toyota talking Autonomous vehicles . GEZZ Might want to get your radio app working first. Just saying.
I have no issues really. Just a couple times the slacker radio says try again. No different than a cell phone time to time
Does anyone test these updates before they are deployed? Edit; As of October 9, I'm still waiting for the promised fix of Pandora on our 2012 Prius v Five Entune. Edit: It's now December 17, 2016 and Entune on our 2012 Prius v has not worked properly since summer. I received a message from an Entune developer that a fix was coming - but where is it? I've started over on the Entune website and then added back Pandora, etc. and I've deleted and reinstalled the Entune app on my Android phone. Entune "might" function properly when the car is started but it can never start after the car ignition is turned off unless I stop and restart the Entune app on my phone. Entune worked great for the first 3 1/2 years so this is especially frustrating. Update April 24, 2017: After being completely nonfunctional for the past several months in our 2012 Prius v Five, an over-the-air update yesterday finally has Entune working again ... but for how long? We need Entune to be dependable. Eight months of marginal or no service at all was very disappointing.
Just plain doesn't work. Randomly is able to connect. About half the time it just refuses to play with other devices (cars!).
Very glitchy. I use it for pandora and it works only 1 time out 10 ten tries. Needs a lot of work.
Great idea but all I get is "insufficient connectivity" or "HD Signal Unavailable". That was a month ago, then it worked ok for a while, now on music apps all I get is system busy message. Been struggling with this thing for two years now. Did all the reinstalls, relinks, and everything else, no good

I wish I could select which apps to install on my truck. I don't really like Pandora, I prefer Spotify,. IHeartRadio is unknown to me. Movie tickets is silly, same for OpenTable. Dont think I need that on my truck. Yelp is good. I would install it if I could choose which of these sub-apps I wish to have in my menu screen. Toyota is a great Auto Engineering firm, but Software Engineering is definitely not their forté! Also, the green good reviews are for old versions of this software. Not the current one. Toyota needs to work on the apps for this system.
