Mandatory Software Update

[-E5J-]

Did anyone else get the "Mandatory Software Update" notice this morning?

 

[JAXJeremy]

I did, was wondering what was updated, firmware or something I'd imagine.

Do you guys know what years it's for

I tried googling around for it and I'm currently on the Entune Support site, Toyota Entune Support | Toyota Owners

It's hard to say what was updated, as they don't seem to have any forthcoming information about the Software Push we received today...

seems like no answers...

search reveals no answers:

I just signed up on the Toyota Owners app & didn't see anything, maybe it's for the fancy wntune or is it for the vehicle as a whole

Maybe someone who knows can weigh in and let us know... I know there are some Toyota Techs on here...

Well it didn't fix the occasional crashing and rebooting of my headunit when trying to make a call. :noidea:

So we still don't know what was the last update?

I don't think that AdBlock would work in that case. In general, many types of software notify users about updates, and even when I was working withkindgeek.com enterprise solutions, I decided that I want to have such a feature as well because it's pretty convenient, but I don't think it can be considered as an ad when you got a software.

For Toyota vehicles with a Data Connection, Toyota separates headunit updates into two categories:

-Firmware/Required Updates (Basically non-optional Toyota required updates)

-Other updates (app updates, and minor features; these you can turn off through settings on some headunits)

I do wish that Toyota would have much better patch notes for their headunits and vehicle modules... I have seen indie game developers have better detailed notes...
