well you got your answer, along with suggestions of different paths to take. no DIY, No free updates, go to the dealer and speak to them. sorry these weren't the answers you were looking for. kris

I am fairly certain that it is not Garmin, but not completely positive. the entune nav is really bad in my opinion. i replaced entune with a kenwood that uses Garmin. and they are nothing alike. You may want to contact toyota about updating their entune nav. Its probably something the dealer...

best decision i made was to junk my factory entune setup. it works for some, but after making the jump to an aftermarket HU with all the features that come with them. I am more then happy i did. running andriod auto or apple car play (i use andriod) was a huge feature for me that i didnt...

i came to the same conclusion as you, especially after replacing the factory with a kenwood excelon 893s..... its 1 model year behind kenwoods current but lightyears beyond the entune!! just my opinion, but a 7" option is not much larger then the current double din setups out there, and you...

it all depends on your expectations of your system i guess. I know the RCA's at a higher voltage from the aftermarket HU sends a much cleaner output then what a speaker level would. but i am looking for SQ in my setup so that was the driving factor in my decision. The kenwood HU blows away...

good amp for what your looking for https://www.amazon.com/Rockford-Fosgate-P400X4-4-Channel-Amplifier/dp/B00BF6HZ6K/ref=pd_sim_107_7?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00BF6HZ6K&pd_rd_r=CD0XNHFEC61AAGEPXCZF&pd_rd_w=cNMvd&pd_rd_wg=tlNdM&psc=1&refRID=CD0XNHFEC61AAGEPXCZF and here is the speakers...

If you are happy with rockford, i would suggest checking out the punch 6.5 components p1675s, and you can get some great deals on rockford amps as well. I think as far as performance for price point rockford is tough to beat. I ran alpine type r's in my sti, and have rand kenwood kfc's in...

its all going to be about your expectations. if you are looking for audiophile quality its gonna cost. If it was me and i was going to stick with the stock HU, i honestly wouldnt go crazy buying high end because your wasting money imo. get a decent set of door speaker components, that have a...

that would be cool, thanks man, Yeah im wanting to make grills similar to that, but never have made a mold for that kinda stuff. seems pretty straight forward but i know its not .....lol

looks really good man!!! any "in progress" pics? always curious to see how others install. IM in the middle of mine right now, hopefully have the first phase finished this weekend.j and how did you make the door grills. they look legit!!

Thanks for the reply, sorry for the delay for some reason im not getting notifications to my subscribed threads. but yeah if he has a mixing station he probably wont have a code really. no worries man just didnt know if you had it handy. it looks similar to magnetic grey metallic but...

you wouldnt happen to know what paint code they used? it looks like the magnetic grey metallic, but not positive. Going to paint mine myself but have had no luck finding the paint code. Thanks, Kris

I dont have an exact OEM match for this, i originaly thought the color was a piano black with metal flake, but it is either a gunmetal or charcoal metallic color. I did paint it with a piano black with metal flake, it looks much better then the silver. but still not there. Once i get done...

THe stock HU is most likely your issue, as volume is increased the EQ is changed rapidly to protect the crappy stock speakers. I have heard people having good luck using the JL Fix86 and JLtwk when connecting to the entune systems. what turned me away from that was the fact i could get an...

So ive gotten almost everything in for my build (they ordered the wrong focals for the fronts, hopefully have the right ones here next week). So i did the sound skins pro sound deadening this weekend. And i have to say, im impressed on the midbass difference i noticed just by doing sound...
