I bought a 2016 Taco, and it came with the Entune Audio Plus. The dealer made it sound like it was the bomb.
I downloaded the Scout app, and gave it a try.
After 2 weeks, I can honestly say that the Entune system, as well as Scout, are both developed by Communists, sadists, and possibly the devil himself. This navigation is trying to kill me. I will be on a major highway, and the nav will tell me to exit, then bring me to dirt roads for a few miles, only to get me back on the same highway that I was on before.
Then there is the problem with the unit relying on cell phone signal. I drive in a lot of rural areas where cell signal is spotty. When I used my old Kenwood with Garmin, I was using satellites, rather than cell signal. When the weather was complete crap, and there was really thick cloud cover, I could use my cell phone as a navigation backup. It worked out great.
So I am pulling the OEM stereo out, and buying a real navigation that works.
My wife's Fiat 500L came equipped with awesome factory navigation. Why couldn't Toyota follow suit?

The Scout works fine with my iPhone 6 and Entune plus.

Only one problem. The navigation sucks! They use Microsoft Bing for the Map data. I agree, Toyota really dropped the ball and should have partnered with a real reliable GPS company.
