2016 entune

Should I waste my time with this app?

 

If that's all you know about it You should not have paid for it. Its a great system for those who are mobile phone savvy and the way it integrates with Entune and the apps including Weather anywhere, Movies, Restaurants, Pandora, Slacker and more. It is updated with new apps as time goes on. It reads your text messages back and gives you the ability to send a standard reply. Entune is one of the better phone integrated audio systems. Far better than Mazda and even Honda.

Edit:I'm sorry I just realized you meant the phone APP.....It is free and necessary to use the apps that come with the Entune Premium radio system. The Entune radio apps use your phone's data when using them.

 

Thanks you just said the magical word PAID. It's not for me.

 

Ummm, this app is free. It's not a great app but it serves it purpose. I recommend download it and hope it improves over time.

 

It's free and controls your entire Entune system. Yes! It's great.

 

Thanks guys.

 

Pandora is all i want, and you dont need the app for that

 

Mine needed it for pandora. The signal runs through the phone.

 

you need the app even for Pandora otherwise your car can't get data...

 

It will also provide for updates to your vehicle Entune system

 

I just use the bluetooth and it works fine

 

Doing it that way means you have to control it from your phone. With Entune you control it from the truck. As mentioned before having the app automatically updates the software on the truck on a regular basis. The app is free.

 

I think we need the app to communicate with the head unit . I downloaded the app it's free

 

Haven't tried Pandora yet, but I can control my podcast app from the truck screen using both Bluetooth and USB connections. Didn't need the Entune app for anything. This is in the premium tech package w/JBL. Not sure if that makes a difference.

what am i missing here, what app are you talking about?
i am interested in learning about entunes.

 

There is an app for your phone called ENTUNE, this app works with your truck to run the audio system. It has things like pandora, slacker radio, movietickets, iHeartradio, a fuel economy thing

 

AH.....thought this was a actual app that could be loaded into the head unit.

 

It seems like the same software as my wife's Lexus. You can control BT from the head unit in hers. We always use it that way so we don't have to open the app every time.

 

It is in the head unit. It uses data from your phone when synced but all the controls are on the head unit.
