    I am finding another thing to not like about my new Tacoma TRD Sport. The dang Entune Premium radio was updated, and now shows icons for IHeart radio and Slacker Radio, along with some other apps that all require a smartphone to use. I hate looking at these things, and even though I have rearranged the icons, I still see Iheart radio icon as it was the last on the screen. I bought a male-to-male USB cable, thinking that if I plugged that into the USB port at the bottom of the dash, and then into a laptop, that I would be able to 'see' the Entune system. Well, the laptop did not even blink an eye and did not even notice that something was connected, after trying many different things. So I was wondering if anyone has been able to 'hack' into their Premium system as I just want to be able to go in there, and remove icons such as Slacker, Iheart, and Sirius since I use none of these things. Any ideas?

    No one has overcome the security on it to load custom or modified firmware. Without that being circumvented you won’t be able to do what you want without Toyota releasing an update.
