Toyota Entune
Toyota Entune was an integrated multimedia navigation and telematics system for Toyota automobiles that provides satellite-based information on traffic, weather, sports scores, stocks, and fuel prices via subscription through SiriusXM. When connected to a compatible mobile phone running the Entune app via radio or USB cable, the system provides a browser and other apps, including music services such as iHeartRadio, Pandora and XM Satellite Radio. The cell phone app supported iOS, Android, and Blackberry with different versions utilizing cell data. The system could be controlled with (limited) speech recognition, and optionally include the “Safety Connect” personalization system.
Entune was based on Toyota G-Book service and first released in 2011 on the Toyota Prius v and was available in subsequent years. The Lexus Enform application suite expanded on the technology used by Entune.
The Entune platform would begin to be phased out in 2021, in favor of Toyota's newer infotainment suite, Toyota Audio Multimedia. In 2023, support for Entune phone app was discontinued, and Entune features were integrated into the Toyota phone app. The services provided in the app for Entune would be fully discontinued by Toyota on October 30, 2023.
Iterations of Entune are distinguished via the generation of the head unit. Beginning with 11CY, the evolution of head unit functionality parallels hardware capabilities.[citation needed]
Launched in 2017 in the 2018 Toyota Camry, Entune 3.0 is the current iteration of Toyota Motor North America's telematics and infotainment platform. Entune 3.0 is a departure from previous Entune platforms, as it is based on the Automotive Grade Linux operating system as opposed to Blackberry QNX in previous versions. As such, it is not compatible with Entune 2.0 mobile applications and integrations. However, this operating platform upgrade potentially enables many more third-party developer enhancements by moving to an open-source platform as opposed to the proprietary QNX system used in previous versions.[citation needed]
Entune 3.0 relies on an interface and app suite that is installed during vehicle assembly. Software and firmware updates can be made to the head units via a USB flash drive, and some versions of the head units can also be updated over the air (OTA). In April 2019, Toyota announced that some backward compatibility would be possible for the 2018 Sienna and Camry vehicles. The press release was noted as saying "The software enhancement is being provided at no cost" and would be made available via a software download to a USB flash drive from Toyota Information Services (TIS). The published release date for this software is May 6, 2019.[citation needed]
The head units in the 2018 Camry are available in three levels.
Depending on the vehicle, subscription-based connected services for vehicles equipped with Audio Plus or Premium Audio head units may include:
