2012 Display Audio with Nav & Entune.

I recently purchased a 2012 4Runner Limited 4x4. The Display Audio unit is not well documented beyond the radio, bluetooth & navigation things. I find no where to check the tire pressures or fuel consumption stats. I'm wondering if any other 2012 LE drivers have any ideas.

I don't think the Entune has the tire pressure and fuel consumption stats. Well, I haven't found it of it does.

The Display Audio unit will not show you fuel consumption or tire pressures. There is a small display above that unit near the A/C vents that will show time, temp, compass, and if you hit the mode button,you can toggle through mile range and average MPG. You can also hit the trip computer on the dash and see the average MPG there too.

As for tire pressures, you have to check those with an old fashioned tire pressure gauge. The 5th gen 4runner is equipped with tire pressure monitering, in that the system will illuminate a warning on the dash if it senses a tire with low psi. It will only illuminate if the psi hits below 20% the normal psi, and will also not warn if the spare is low, as the spare tire does not have a sensor. There are a few aftermarket handheld devices you can buy ($100-250) that are essentially valve stem caps you can put on each tire and small display that will display the psi in each tire. Yes I know, it sucks, I love to have the read out of my actual psi too, but love the truck nonetheless.
 
My 2012 SR5 owner's manual refers to a "CAR" button on the unit itself just above the "APPS" button that gives information like tire pressure. The manual adds the standard "if equipped" footnote, and my 4R is definitely not equipped with a CAR button. I wondered if maybe it were meant for other Toyota models, or even some Lexus, and they used the same manual.
 
My Owners manual does say things about the "Car" button, which my vehicle does not have. I can't imagine that the technology is not present in the 4R. Even my 2009 Outlook could display tire and fuel stats.
 
On the jbl/nav there is an "info" button, you can see the past and current fuel mileage, as well as calender and other junk.

This is one of the little things that I'm disappointed in. The car maintenace section is a super cool idea. How hard would it be to have it sync to the ecu and have everything preprogramed?

Just a couple things so far I've found that Toyota went 99% of the way and stopped. they didn't go that last 1% to make the feature great. Like the 4 wheel drive knob right where a cup holder should go. On a limited with full time 4 wheel drive the times when you are going to shift into locked 4 wheel drive why couldn't they used a selector switch like the Tacoma placed on the lower dash. I know it seems silly to get mad over cup holders but on my double cab Tacoma I had access to 5 cup holders all in the center console. the 4runner has 2 when it should have 3.

Entune for the 4runner doesn't have all the gucci stuff like MPG readout/tire pressure/restaurant reservations/movie tickets.

All of that stuff is in cars like the Camry. I felt slighted too because the dealer showed me a Camry Entune model and I thought the 4runner would come with all of that stuff.
