What Entune system do I have?

Knowing what Entune system you have is the first step in putting your Entune system to good use. New Toyota vehicles come equipped with one of three Entune 3.0 systems: Entune Audio, Entune Audio Plus and Entune Premium Audio. While these multimedia face plates vary from model to model, they have some similarities across models. To identify which Entune system you have, first check if your Entune system has small “SiriusXM” and “HD Radio” icons beneath the touchscreen. If these icons are not located on your Entune System, you have Entune Audio. Next, look for a button labeled “MAP”. Entune Premium Audio has a “MAP” button next to the touchscreen. While Entune Audio Plus looks very similar to Entune Premium Audio, it does not have the “MAP” button. Here are examples of Entune Audio, Entune Audio Plus and Entune Premium Audio multimedia systems for the Toyota Camry:

Which Entune has navigation?

While each Entune 3.0 system has some sort of navigation ability, navigation varies depending on which Entune System your vehicle is equipped with. Both Entune Audio and Entune Audio Plus come with connected navigation, which requires the use of a smartphone. This can be done by downloading the “Scout GPS Link” app and connecting your smartphone via USB. Entune Premium Audio, however, comes with integrated navigation. This system helps you navigate the road through turn-by-turn directions with live updates. Integrated navigation doesn’t require your smartphone to be connected.
