The infotainment system is pretty rough...

First time truck owner here and decided to go with a 2020 Tacoma TRD Sport since I use Android Auto so much. The infotainment system leaves a lot to be desired though.



So when trying to select a preset the up and down arrows on the steering wheel don't make sense. If you press up you go down in number and pressing down takes you up in number. So say I am in preset 2 and push the up button. I would expect to be taken to preset 3 instead I am taken to preset 1.

Is there any way to change this behavior?

Thanks.

 

I guess tacomas infotainment system will never be good enough

 

I ended programming my station presets from highest number to lowest so when I press the up button it goes to the next preset station.

 

Sorry, but the way it's setup makes sense to me. Think of your presets as a list - the list starts at 1 and ends at 6 (or 12 or whatever). Your up and down buttons are moving up and down your list.

This is how I would look at it as well. You setup your stations in ranked order. Up button goes up in rank. Down button goes down in rank.

 

Ill trade you my 2018 radio, its way better

 

Welcome. Conditioning will change the behavior. You won't even notice in a month.

 

It's programmed how you read, like on the back of a CD. You start with track 1 at the top, then down to 2, 3, etc.

Volume also goes left to right on the screen, so left to right on the D-Pad works well.

 

Sweet jesus

 

I am waiting for the killers to arrive.

 

I just bring my boom box in the truck. Blast it.

 

Toyota owns part of panasonic. It was doomed from the get go.

 

It’s not worth it anymore. Mods will suspend your account for hurting feelings.

 

Well what in tarnation!

 

Shoulda got a manual trans

 

I can relate with the steering wheel controls. I'm completely used to it now, but my previous car (and most cars) have the up/down reserved for the volume.

 

What makes it more fun is if you push down to get to a preset such as channel 25 on XM and want to go to 26, but don't have it programmed, you have to then push up to scroll ascending through the xm channels.

 

It is what it is.
Better than the Sync in a F150 I just traded.
My 2016 Taco was the same way.

 

I preferred the sync in my 2016 F150 for operation, but the sound in the Tacoma is much better. The Sirius always sounded like they were singing under water in the F150.
