[MENTION=75046]Bugser[/MENTION], I googled the TSB so I have a copy, but thank you for offering to send it! I will post here with what I am told, if I am told anything at all.

You’re welcome @ Old Red. They probably won’t know or won’t say!

BTW, got the harness fine, just need a display and time and/or inspiration to install it. Looked at the Toyota website today and see that very display in blue on the 2019 Pro. Isn’t that interesting!

I got them back. I am NOT liable for any damage or malfunctions with any of you devices/vehicles/radios.

I only downloaded the files for the iPhone X and iPad 5/6th gens.

iPhone X: iPhone X.ipsw - Google Drive

iPad 5 and iPad 6: iPad (5th generation), iPad (6th generation).ipsw - Google Drive

Other devices:Download Beta Profiles

You can only update with a Mac.

There are two options for installing the ios betas.
1: You can install Mac OS Catalina Beta. (this is the option I chose)
It is rather buggy but not too terrible.

file here to install Catalina. macOSCatalinaDeveloperBeta.dmg - Google Drive

There are many install guides online for this.

Then once it is installed, connect you idevice and open finder. Select idevice. Hold option and click restore iphone. Wait a second or two, then select the file you downloaded earlier for your specific idevice. (it will end with .ipsw)

2: install Xcode 11 Beta
I do not have the file for this, but it is easy to find online.
Then once it is installed, connect your idevice and open itunes. Select idevice. Hold option and click restore iphone. Wait a second or two, then select the file you downloaded earlier for your specific idevice. (it will end with .ipsw)


The options above will install IOS 13 to your device. You will need to backup to icloud before you install. After, you will want to restore to the backup. It will just redownload your phone stuff basically.



Hope this made sense, if not there is a lot on google/reddit. You can also msg me and I can try to help you.

Again, not liable for any data loss, damage, bricking, or any other issues caused by the above information.

[MENTION=75046]Bugser[/MENTION], I talked to my contact who is usually pretty informative, and they didn't know anything about the 4R and potential updates on software. However, they did give me a contact and phone number to call on Monday of someone that would be able to better answer my question, so I will report back after I give the number a call. I'm not holding my breath though.

Also, can you send me a screenshot of that photo of the 19 on the Toyota website. Is it a vehicle for sale, or a Toyota Marketing photo? Very curious. You will be surprised that the install goes pretty quick. Just don't be afraid to tear into the dash.

[MENTION=150567]Old Red[/MENTION] That's what I thought the service rep would tell you. However, I did have a contact with a high-level service rep from South East Toyota when my seat heater when belly up in my 2011, but I don't think I saved his info.....I'll have to dig around.

Your write up on changing the display was great and it seems more effort than rocket science. I'm mechanically and electrically inclined so it should not be too difficult. I still have to buy the display.

The display picture was from a Toyota promo ad and I cannot find it quickly.....it may have from been the video of the Toyota Pro challenge in Vietnam, but not sure. It caught my eye quickly. The cable TV ads here in Pittsburgh on are featuring the Pros a lot here and they are really pushing the voodoo blue runner.

Later this afternoon I will do some more probing and check my "history" to find it. If I remember correctly it was in a video and passed by quickly and you had to be tuned for it to see it.

[MENTION=75046]Bugser[/MENTION], if you find the guys contact info, see if you can get a hold of him and ask some questions. I'll do the same on my end. The more info we get (if any) the better. I just hope Toyota is working on something. I don't want to play the head unit retrofit or swap game. Also not too keen on trading in a perfectly fine and slightly modified 16' for practically the same vehicle with a few new bells and whistles.

Don't worry about finding the promo ad picture, it's no big deal. I was just curious. My guess is Toyota has a handful of 5th gens that are prototype vehicles that they update/use for adds, etc. as required.

[MENTION=150567]Old Red[/MENTION] Will do on the contact....I ran through some old emails and only find the issues with the local service manager.....I'll give him a call, since that was just last year so he may remember me.....why? Because Mid Atlantic Toyota would not admit there was a safety problem with the seat heaters like SE Toyota did....that was a big fiasco but they eventually fixed the issue.....fire hazzard....

I do agree that the more we all push for an update, the higher the probability it may happen.....and agreed, easier to do some simple mods to make this happen....Apple Car Play IMHO is simply a software update since the current HU has similar features......however since its Apple, there will be issues of course.

[MENTION=75046]Bugser[/MENTION], so I gave the contact I was given a call yesterday and asked whether or not the 4Runner was getting a carplay update, and he said he had not heard anything, and that Toyota doesn't share much until a week before they release software updates, etc. He was aware of the 18' Camry and Sienna update, and said that there was probably more vehicles updates in the pipeline, but it would probably be for those with Entune 3.0. No mention of the 4Runner as of now. He did take my contact info down, and said he would do some asking himself, and notify me if he heard anything coming down the line. So at this point, I would say the rumors that we are getting a carplay update are exactly that, rumors.

@ Old Red your update is exactly what I thought it would be.

Unfortunately I have been so hectic at work that I have not called the dealership. I do not have my old contact info but I might get a moment tomorrow to call

Thanks for the update and keep your fingers crossed!

Bob
