    A back step for when I get older, Carhartt seatcovers, 4Runner wheels, Topper, and "tats all folks"! --for now!!
    ......entune and the apps associated with it were sold to us by Toyota and/or on what gens. I do know that the the apps that were sold along with the radio were advertised as a feature on the 3rd gens (maybe other gens as well). Toyota is taking away some of these apps that were bought by the consumers of these vehicles.
    Now I really don't care if some here don't like some of these apps, but the whole issue and point is, that they are taking away something YOU paid for.
    Some are getting letters from Toyota in regards to this -- I have not. But again that is not the point of my concern- the issue is they are taking back something they sold to you and you paid for, and not replacing it with anything in it's place. this is flat out "stealing" in my books.
    I am trying to spread the word about this -- some folks here say they don't care - so be it. I do happen to care when something is taken away from me with no counter-compensation whatsoever.
    Pandora is one of the apps that is magically going to disappear as of 11/13/18. WE paid for this as a feature.
    I understand the background on this as Pandora was sold to another party. Again No need to reply that You don't like Pandora. I happen to enjoy it a lot as I can get their/my station list on the radio screen. Yes I know it will work in Bluetooth, so no need to tell me that. I also would have to fool with my cell phone to see stations -- definitely a safety hazard -unless I pull over.
    I guess if you as consumers love having things YOU paid for taken away from you that is OK.
    I do not think this a good/fair solution from Toyota!

    You’re complaining about something so trivial when others less fortunate walk miles for dirty drinking water.

    Here in Hawaii we don’t even get Entune or ANY apps for that matter that was advertised as part of the vehicle. No Traffic, nothing. At least the GPS works. And this goes for my Tacoma and my wife’s Lexus.

    Edit: I am not complaining, just disappointed., but hey, I live in Paradise!

    I don't know about you, but when I bought my truck I paid for a Toyota Tacoma, not for a radio with apps. Did that truck happen to come with Entune Premium with app suite, it sure did, but it is not what I was spending my money on.

    Did you know that the features would not work over there when you bought the truck?

    Sorry, I think it funny that anybody would need traffic reports for the islands. Aren't they all 1 and 2 lane roads jammed with traffic during tourist season.
    Never been, but guessing your local radio or phone could do better than the trucks features.

    Don't care. It's an app. How much is Pandora app? Free? $2?

    Some parts of America seem 3rd worldish, but most of it is 1st world.

    For my truck, not for the Lexus. I bought the Lexus first so I asked when I bought the truck. It was still advertised in all of Toyota’s and even Servco’s vehicle availability site as it would be included, but the sales people said “Not in Hawaii”.

    Honestly, I hear you loud and clear and agree. I personally regret paying for all the extra options but what can I do now ?? To say the least I haven’t even opened my sunroof in two years of owning it, but again I love my truck... as my good friend says “it can be worse”

    So if some one steals from you -- you just let it go with nary a word to the contrary?
