    If you are using an iPhone, go into settings for toyota entune and shut off cellular data. App cannot start

    I just installed the update.

    turn up the volume on your phone.

    Use Volume control on the steering wheel or knob After that.

    if you are listening to Amazon music using alexa, you will need to use the touch screen or say "alexa next" to skip the track

    Also, no way to adjust the sound (low, mid, high & fade) that i know of yet.


    This has potential to be good, just dont expect much for now

    Am I the only one who found out that you need to ask Alexa volume 10???

    If the volume is maxed out on the phone and the radio and you asked Alexa to set the volume to 10... I don't know what you are playing that would be low.

    Once I found out to ask Alexa volume 10 I was so happy, just it doesn't save the setting from time to time

    So if I ask Alexa to raise the volume, it won’t be low anymore? I usually just play music through the Apple Music app. I’ll try it out and see if it works like that.

    Has anyone installed the Entune update that was released earlier this week? Did it actually fix any of the Alexa issues?

    **disregard - looks like everyone is already aware of this BS


    not sure if anyone's talked about this in the previous pages as i'm not going to read all 8 of them, but i just disabled Alexa from my entune app because she was really messing with my volume. She'd cut it in half so that she could hear me if I said her name, then kick back in and blast my volume 2x back to normal levels and nearly blow my ears out.

    Not worth it

    Works just fine on my head unit, the only thing I wished they would've done is have the Alexa voice go through the main speakers and not my phone, anyway i like it :anonymous:

    Yes for me it does.

    Have been very happy with just asking her to set the volume at 10
