    Anyone here work at Toyota or know how to obtain the entune radio firmware update other than the securedp.toyota.com site. Damn button is broken and I cant download the file. I even tried inspecting the site and getting the link and downloading that (for those of you that know what the hell im talking about) or if you know another trick please let me know. I cant seem to find the file anywhere.

    Thanks in advance.

    oh and hey y'all long time!

    All seems to work fine. For a 2014 it seems all they have available are for units with Navigation. I downloaded the file no problem. Selecting without nav however, results in pages with no downloads available.

    I know there's a million threads on this, but I figure you guys drive in the same conditions as me so your opinions would be most accurate to my situation.

    I'm thinking about swapping my dynapro ATM tires for something else(8/32 and still TERRIBLE in the rain and loud). Looking at Nitto TerraGrapplers or Cooper AT3s.

    Other than KO2s what would you guys suggest?

    How is wet road performance? I can't hardly accelerate or turn corners at more than 12mph without slippage.

    I'm liking the look (and price) of the Pathfinders from Discount Tire. Reviews are that they're quiet, too.
