Lightbulb 5th Gen Owners: how many of you have had to replace Audio System head?
Reading reviews on Edmunds - multiple people saying the "Radio" [Entune] system failed not once but several times.

What's up with this, and is the solution to just go get a 3rd party Double ?

My '18 radio has had no problems. I do have to get a new map data chip whenever they come out.

My 2017 Entune head unit was ok, the major issue I had with it was flakey Bluetooth. I replaced it because I wanted Android Auto functionality and couldn't be happier with my new HU

Do you mean OEM Audio Plus? Toyota | OEM Audio Plus

I have those too. Much improved sound, especially the bass.

Had my factory 2015 SR5P headunit for about 8years with no issues (non-JBL with nav). About a year and a half ago I swapped in a factory 2020+ headunit. Only issue I notice is the bluetooth connection cuts out after about 30mins.

Which year headunit were you referring to?
