    I don't have the app suite version of Entune. I have Pandora on my phone. When you get in the car, you press 'Bluetooth Audio' on the source screen. I got it to work last night eventually. It doesn't really work all that well, though. The volume is EXTREMELY low and there isn't song info. Oddly the button to skip works via the steering wheel.

    Still cant get my Entune to work. I tried the account I created on my GF's iPhone 5 with the newest iOS and it still wont connect.

    I wonder if the VINs I was provided arent correct for the radio I have.

    Would anyone be willing to provide/private message me a VIN they know works? I need one for a '14 non JBL radio w/ navigation.

    Thanks

    Does anybody know how to get entune to recognize different folders on your usb stick when you use it for music, all it does is give you a list of all the music. Kind of a pain in the ass that way, and kind of stupid every other system out there lets you do it by folders.

    I did a search online for 2014's with navigation. If you do a search on auto trader or a similar website with tacoma for sale it should provide you with the vehicle's vin that's for sale. That's what I used.

    I did that with a few salvage auctions websites and none of the VINs worked. I just pulled a half dozen from Autotrader and I'll give em a go.

    Entune stopped working on my '12 Tacoma. All that worked was AM / FM radio...nothing else.

    I have been to the dealer now three times with no success. The last time they replaced the entire audio unit at a cost of (they say) $6,000. Fortunately I am still under warranty. The dealer, service writer and technician have all been great. I have personally called Entune and Toyota and have elevated my complaint w/corporate. I don't think Toyota / Entune are doing a good job supporting the dealer. I live in Texas which has a lemon law that states if after four attempts a legitimate problem is not resolved then I can file w/the state for legal resolution.

    I am now waiting for the fourth visit which hopefully will resolve the issue though I don't know what they will plan to do. Problems w/Toyota Entune are all over the internet and most the same as my problem.

    I live a five hour round trip to the dealer which at today's gas prices is about $100 total gas expense back and forth.

    I am P*ssed. Stay tuned............Steve

    I opened my music files with my laptop and created albums myself. Mostly just made up album names etc.. and kept song title and band correct. I still get the generic album art depending on genre like rock or whatever, but it helped. It was a little monotonous but worth it later on. I still had files from years ago when napster was free. So, lots of files to organize.

    I have a Windows Phone and I don't want to give it up for Entune since Entune does not support Windows Phone. Can I get an iPod or an Android music player and share my internet from my Windows Phone thereby enabling me to use Entune?

    I have a Windows Phone. Do you mean the whole app suite for Entune?

    Pretty much everything from mine works - voice, reply to text, etc., the steering wheel buttons work with Pandora... but I only have the basic Entune and not the rest.

    Mine works too except for the app suite. I know that I can stream Pandora though BT etc... But I'd like to see it work as it should, using the intended Entune App that's available on IOS and Android. I can't see why it's such a big deal for Toyota to develop a Windows Phone app. From the sounds of it, they are not planning to support Windows Phone in their Entune system.. Maddening!....

    I picked up my new DCLB Gray 2014 TACO yesterday and love driving it, looks great, runs smooth. This morning the Entune Plus stopped working, doesn't even turn on. No screen, no noise, no backup light... nothing. Pretty frustrating, have not even had it for 24 hours.

    I checked 2 different fuses under the hood, both look good. One was a 30A in slot 13 labeled as Radio#2 and the other was a 20A in slot 25 labeled Radio#1. Any other thoughts?
    Thanks.

    Check the rest of the fuses behind the coin holder on the dash to the left of the steering wheel above the parking brake...

    Went to the dealership today. Entune was getting power but not working in any way (no backup camera, no music, no phone, no display,,,nothing.) The pulled a unit out of another new vehicle and installed it in mine. Was out of there in an hour and everything is working fine now.

    Does anyone know if, when connected to entune via Bluetooth, whether the cell signal is using the cell phone antenna or the shark fin antenna?

    :confused: uh, you aren't getting cell reception through your satellite radio antenna. It's coming through your phone.
