I uninstalled the app from my phone. As Pandora is the only thing I used I just connect it now via Bluetooth. At least now the app isn't using my phone battery for nothing.

Lately I have been perusing Crutchfield and looking over the head units with wireless Android. Trying to decide just what I want without paying for what I will never use such as navigation (Google maps and Waze are my preferred apps), DVD/CD (never had a desire to watch anything and use USB for mpe/FLAC), etc. WHile there is no one perfect head unit I think I will get close.

Have you thought about getting an Android powered head unit? As most know and acknowledge, entune is a cruel joke. I'm looking for an alternative HU for my 05. I currently have an OEM NAV, so yeah, I'm in the stone age. With the aforementioned HU, depending if you have an android phone, you can beam pretty much anything onto the screen, including Google maps, waze, etc).

I've been looking at crutchfield as well, but there aren't many options, at least for me. I WANT a volume/tune knob, but the aftermarket seems to be shy away from that. Very annoying. I will give CF this: their customer service is second to none, but you will pay for it.

I updated my Entune today and lost Pandora. Pandora was the only app I used every single day. Now I get to take my eyes off the road to play Pandora via bluetooth....thanks a lot Toyota

I don’t think this was Toyota’s doing. I got the email too, and it stated that it would not be supported by “3RD PARTY” apps. Tells me this was Pandora’s doing, which was just purchased by SiriusXM. Just a bit of food for thought. I did a bit of research.

Sorry if I'm crashing here, but has anyone overcome trouble creating an Entune account? I get the message, "Please ensure you have entered the VIN correctly and your vehicle is Entune or Enform App Suite capable."

I have a 2019 TRDOR with Premium Audio, Navigation, and the Entune App Suite. I am registered at toyota.com/owners, but that seems to be separate from Entune. I'm attempting to do this with the vehicle off. I have not downloaded the Entune App Suite, just the Entune App.

I am entering my VIN correctly. I have this problem on PC and iPhone - unable to create account altogether. Am I missing something? Thanks.

You're not missing anything, it took me several tries.
In the end, it's just not worth the trouble I think.

Did you ever figure this out? I just got a 2021 and I am having the same problem. Ugh. Thanks!

I don't think the Entune App is supported any more. I am using the Toyota app--which doesn't seem to do much. HU updates seem to be OTA now but I don't see a way to add apps manually. I have had sketchy success w/Alexa and have had no luck with Android Auto (which works fine in another car). Just got my ride Wed. night so I haven't spent too much time on this but I was a bit surprised that the stereo usage wasn't a bit smoother.

No. People advised that I not fret about it. So I don't.

Just for closure, in case anyone has similar issues with Android, I bought a 3' Anker USB cord and Android Auto works flawless. Alexa continues to be glitchy AF.
