Things that the Toyota Entune system is better than...

[T4 Leaf]

Fun on Monday... we all know that Entune sucks, mine needed re-booting thrice this AM on the way to work. But I thought to myself, even though this system is glitchy, non-user friendly, and has an antiquated user interface...there must be things on the planet that it's "better than"... So please help me make a list


The Toyota Entune System is better than...

1) The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster

Volvo's Infotainment system, Ford SYNC, Uconnect (although I heard the new version is okay which I strongly doubt), Honda's infotainment system

Entune is okay, it's not perfect but it's solidly in the middle

I like it

Did you know you can adjust the contrast and brightness (totally helps), for my eyes it makes it look like HD.

AMEN! Just got rid of a Volvo S90 for that exact reason. Even after a year and a half still enough problems to make me want to run away.

Have you checked for updates recently? None of my Entune systems have had any issues since updating

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't like it's that bad at all. I have a 2015 Honda and if you want to talk about a bad infitainment system try that out. Entune does what I need it too. I have a 2014 Boxster S and Porsche's system in many respect is inferior.

the number one thing entune is best at is making people spend money for another system

:lmao:

I'm in the boat of thinking Entune a trash fire. In 2018, I don't see any reason for any manufacturer, aside from perhaps Tesla, to use proprietary infotainment systems. Apple's CarPlay and Android Auto are vastly superior in pretty much every way.

The aftermarket Kenwood DDX7701HD in my other car is a total mess. The Toyota Entune unit in my Runner seems like a finely tuned polished piece of equipment by comparison. Other than a lack of app support, I think it works just fine as a system.

I'm an audiophile and have no issues with my Entune, no it's not a thousand dollar Pioneer, but for a basic system that has the features that I need, it gets the job done.

Maybe Toyota made improvements throughout the years?

My 2018 Entune system is flawless. It's fast, responsive, and never glitched.:high5:

I don’t mind the system overall but what I hate is their version of Pandora always has a skip limit, regardless of my paid account. It requires me to link my Pandora account so why can’t it realize that I shouldn’t have a skip limit. And yes I can use pandora through the phone but you lose a lot of the controls and on-screen functionality (changing stations etc)

Hahah funny thread. The Black Death. Scott Pruitt. That’s about it.

All these complaints about the audio. Most of you must have never;

1. Drove a '78 Riviera with an 8-Track and a Disco Italiano 8-Track stuck in it.
2. Drove a '69 Nova with black leather seats and 4/70 AC
3. Drove a CJ-7 soft top with no radio
4. Drove a VW Bus with a ghetto blaster strapped in for sound
5. Drove a crappy F-150 work truck with only AM radio
6. Been thankful to have a working radio

 

[I4CUTigers]

Entune is fine. I had a 2014 Accord that was much worse. I still have a Ford that the radio doesn’t even light up. I have a 2016 ES350 with 45,000 on the odo and a 2018 4Runner. As much as I drive, I’m either on XM or Bluetooth from my phone.

If you want it bad enough, you can probably get someone to mirror your IPhone to your dash (brother did it on his CLS63 AMG). He can literally stream whatever to the dash.

I have not...I should look into it...it usually comes in waves of glitchiness, so I get sidetracked

My post was an attempt at a wise crack (emphasis on attempt)

Having driven a number of rental cars I agree our Entune is not good, not the worst but close. The screen resolution is from 2000 and voice commands are maddening.

I've not driven any of the higher end cars (Audi, BMW etc) but the best I've experienced is the Ford Explorer system. It has the Android, Apple and the voice commands actually work! Would I buy a Ford because of their infotainment system, absolutely not!!
