Ever wonder how your radio’s Software version actually gets updated?
In todays video, I’ll show you step by step how we reflash your OEM radio’s software update.
Unfortunately this software file can only be obtained if you have access to TIS.
I cannot and will not be providing these files.
Vikings Garage Patch
vikingsgarage....
As always, thank you for watching!!
I appreciate your support!
#toyotanation #carrepairs #4runner #trdpro
Software updates to the radio should not cost anything simply allow owners to download the file and do their own.
I’m right there with you… No offense but I much rather be doing other more exciting things!!
Thank you as always for your continuous support!!
@@VikingsGarage I bet! Love the videos VG!
I have a 2014 limited whit 90 k. I just find out even though it lights up when we insert the flash drive doesn’t come out on the radio screen any advice appreciate 😊
jaime l it’s either the wrong format/file in the flash drive or an issue with the radio. 🤷🏼♂️
Exactly.
My Toyota Camry lets me do the Radio software update myself. I just downloaded the update onto a flash drive and plan to follow the instructions
Excellent information as always. It's great to see I can get into the TIS software for a couple of days for a very small fee, so if I want (or need) to do something I can do it easily and inexpensively!!!!
Absolutely 👍🏻
Thanks, bro! I have a 2020 4Runner and it's never been updated. Just did it and everything was super easy!
That’s awesome. I’m always happy to pass my knowledge over.
How did you do it? I tried to, and it didn't allow me to. It says my subscription level wasn't granted access to direct download. Which subscription did you get?
I think you need to download it off ur PC into a USB and then plug the USB into the car USB port@@jg_ab8233
Excellent video. You're a gifted and a talented communicator. Do you know whether it's possible to install a CD player or mini-jack auxiliary on the 2020-2024 4Runner Panasonic premium infotainment system?
Thank you for your kind words.
I’m not sure on the cd player but definitely a mini-jack aux.
Great video! So, to be clear, we cannot access the files needed for the update without a subscription to TIS?
Correct!!
Great video! My 2019 rav4 is stuck with mirror link/ mirror cast and the dealer in my country says they don’t do software updates. My head unit model is 17TDT1ZA-CA01 Does the web portal have software updates for non USA vehicles?
For software updates you will need the actual very expensive year membership.
@@VikingsGarageis that for USA navigation, maps, dashcam also or just non USA? ATT hotspot is 25$ after the trial and they made 3.6 billion for separate app's like scout maps won't even show up on the screen! I'm going to remind them when I go in that it's actually illegal to take advantage of a disabled/handicap person, considering my Sister picked Toyota for the safety features! We should have been told and my navigation book says they can't charge for extra services & I maybe asked to sign a separate contract!
Great step by step. Nice to see the entire process
Your very welcome!!
Thanks for the info! About how often does Toyota do software updates for the radio?
Excellent question Sir, it’s not always the same but I would say anywhere from every 6 months to once a year.
Will the oem Toyota dashcam drain the car battery? I really want to install the oem camera because it's got a few neat features, and the Toyota ap
No issues reported.
@@VikingsGarage Thank you sir. You wouldn't be getting your hands on one anytime soon and doing a how to install video?
@aky19832001 I would if I actually made a lot more $$$ in here. I will eventually get to it 🤷🏼♂️
Thanks. Will ask for updates on next service in October.
👏🏻👍🏻
Could not access the TIS website after paying for the subscription
Very helpful thank you. I started having reboot issues and no audio issues so hoping this works but I was able to download the update files and install them.
👏🏻👍🏻
Did that update help? I’m having similar issues with my Lexus.
I see there was a navigation update showing as well. Does this update the Navagation system with newer maps? If not how does that get completed on a 2021 4Runner? Thanks LOVE YOUR Videos
Yes it does. 🙏
@@VikingsGarage I was able to go the toyota page looking for the updates for my 2021 4Runner SR5 PRM and the newest one available updated the Audio to 1225 and Nav to 1225. The maps howerver are still for 2020. Will i need to go to a dealer?
It won’t hurt to ask.
@@VikingsGarageso this Toyota tis is only for the radio updates? Not the navigation system or the maps which I specifically asked my salesman for and he said no cuz I can just download the Android app on my phone! I'm not picking up my phone and getting in a accident cuz it's not displaying
What brand is the screen? Looks exactly like mine! Are you paying att 25$ for their hotspot?
Your accent is adorable!
Hello, I have a 2016 Toyota Camry and I have this software version 17TD2ME-EA20. Is there an update for this version on the site?
Would this work on my 2014 lexus if the Bluetooth is connected and the screen is constantly restarting?
I believe so, but i would double check with Lexus.
Hello, I hope you can help me, my 2020 Highlander has never had its software updated since where I take it to do its maintenance they tell me that they don't know how to do it, could I do this myself?
You can, be subscribing to Toyota’s TIS… the full very expensive subscription.
its not worth it price wise.
Hey there! Just wondering if TIS gives you access to software outside of the US? I want to update my 2018 12th gen Corolla hatch to have CarPlay, but the car is in New Zealand so the model ID is 17TDT2OC-EA22. Any tips? Thanks!
I honestly do not know. 🤷🏼♂️
Haha fair enough it’s a niche request, thanks for your response!
Viking,
Is there a way to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius for outside air on the 4Runner.
Someone told me you need techstream but I see an option under menu, settings and then units of measurement. I click Celsius but it does not change anything
You should be able to do it with Techstream only.
I have a 2021 4Runner, audio/radio doesn’t play a sound. Will an update fix these problems or is it something else?
I don’t know Sir.
@@VikingsGarage ended up doing the update and now all my audio/radio is all working
Im glad to hear! 👊🏻
Hi from The Netherlands. I hope you can help me. I own a brand new RAV4 Hybrid AWD. On the new 10’5 inch Panasonic 86140-42L00 head unit AM is not present, it is not listed. It only has FM, DAB+ and internet radio trough a connected phone. I hate what Toyota did as we still have many stations on AM. So I understand there is TIS. Can you see if AM is in some software update so I can change the software? For what I know all these new 10’5 inch Panasonic head units are basically the same. And last but not least, is there still an AM antenna present in the fin on the roof? I hate it when companies make decisions for you! Kind regards, Willem, Hekelingen, The Netherlands.
I will look into it.
@@VikingsGarage Thank you very much, much appreciated! In the meantime I have found out that in the Australian versions of the current RAV4, that has a specs wise similar Panasonic head unit, all the specs are the same apart from AM reception that the Australian version indeed still has. All other geatures are the same. So as far as I can imagine, my head unit has to be completely reprogrammed as there will be no updates available. Point is that the general public in Europe simply don’t care, so updates for getting AM back in EU head units will not be issued at all. As for compatibility with European standards, a total reprogramming will be necessary OR a replacement with an Australian head unit. If I had known this before, it would have meant a deal breaker, that important this is for me. Oh, and last but not least, I can’t find out if an AM antenna is still present in the fin on the roof, if not that will have to be addressed as well together with another wire harness. What a mess! Bye, Willem, Hekelingen, Holland.
Great video, thank you for the information. Would this type of update also be for the 2019 Prius with the 11.6 JBL system.?
On the TIS will the standard be the program to update the radio and navigation, or do l need the professional?
All models included, but beware that those software updates are only available with the pricey anual membership fee.
@@VikingsGarage Crikey, l have to spend $505 or $1360, just for a map update.
It’s expensive, very.
@@VikingsGarage If my local dealership can't figure it out, which so far they've not. Would the dealership you work at download the updates and ship a USB drive?
@troylawrence8563 No can’t do, what your asking me it’s not allowed by Toyota.
By me doing such thing I’m jeopardizing losing my job.
Does updating the software solve the problem of the system randomly rebooting? And is it necessary to do the gracenote update as well?
Correct!!
It’s a shame that the consumer is not able to do it on their own. It’s almost border line a flaw in my opinion. Good luck, I hope you get it sorted!!
Is this still available for my 2018 Toyota 4Runner off road .. the navigation sucks.
It should be available. But at the end of the day don’t bother, you’re better off using the navigation from your smart phone. Trust me!!
@@VikingsGarage I’d have to agree
Could this also be possible in Holland for a Toyota CH-R 2018?
Most likely.
Just a note: If you have a 48hr subscription to TIS you won't be able to download the files. You'll get an error saying you need to have a higher ($$) subscription plan.
Well that’s definitely very good info. Thank you for letting us know.
I signed up for a one month professional diagnostics level and it still wouldn't let me download an update
@@crbourret Dang, that's rough. 💸
@@crbourret did you figure out which plan is needed to make this work? yearly plan seems like a very long shot
Is the update covered under a extended warranty
No
How much does it cost for the software update?
1 hour labor
Do you have a video to update gracenotes? Thx
I don’t sorry.
Great vid, 2023 Rav 4 Limited AWD owner here, is there any way around the TIS, im just an owner not a dealer? The sound on my vehicle is non existent, when I try to adjust the volume from the volume knob or the steering wheel nothing happens. I've tried everything from rebooting the multimedia system, to doing a full reset. Nothing seems to work.
You need a radio Sir.
Pioneer had a bad batch of them.
@@VikingsGarage I should have mentioned this specifically occurred after an attempted theft of my vehicle, where lots of things were unplugged/damaged and we're later repaired. A system reset was required in order to reactivate all the remote connect features after it being reported stolen in the app which ironically disabled the tracking (luckily I tracked it before reporting it stolen). I do remember it happened at some point after disabling all the remote connect features and disabling data transmission from the dcm for privacy reasons before the theft. When I had reactivated the remote connect features and data transmission the radio started working again. I get the impression it is more of a software related issue than hardware but i might be wrong.
Do you need to subscribe to TIS to make this work?
In order to be able to download these software’s… YES!!
It’s apparently a bit expensive.
Question how can I reset my 2018 Camry radio to factory settings
It’s an option on the radio settings.
Is it possible to change FM Frequencies from JAPAN to EUROPE?
Will this allow me to finally get android audio to my 2018 toyota camry se?
I don’t know for sure.
@@VikingsGarage Can you please check for me before I pay for a membership? I don't mind paying for it as long as it can actually do what I need. I have been trying to get any type of application running since they phased out the Entune 3.0 and only allowed infoainment. If they were planning to phase out the endtune they should have at least left us with the option to install android auto In the 2018 Toyota Camry SE
@knightrcer I’m away on vacation Sir.
Good luck to you.
Great video very informative
Thank you!!
Hi, there's a way to upload a previous software version? Thanks
Thank you! 🙏🏻
How i can get access to the 1020 software version for a Tundra 2022? Thanks @@VikingsGarage
Only thru Toyota’s Tis Software Sir, subscription is needed.
$400 for navigation update per Lexus. I grew up in the 80s and 90s. I'll read the signs on the road.
Heck yeah!! 👊🏻
Is there a place i can find the list of cars that support this software
Only by logging into TIS.
i have Toyota corolla 2021 - Turkish industry , i want to Update software Audio but i can't cause i didn't have or found the file which download it to the flash memory to paire it and make Software update succefuly --- ( Pioneer ) The Model ID DCU : 171TDT1Za-CA32 -- Part No. DCU : 86140-02D70 --- And the Current Audio Version : 1190 --- can u Help Me Please To Setup the latest Update software ? Is there a new version of 1190 ? Is there a file for Turkish industry according to the car model and cassette ? i searched a lot but didn't find any solutions --- i Hope Reply And tell me what should i do . thanks Alot .
Sir, as much as I want to help, I can’t.
I sign a waiver every day in which I agree to not provide such information. 🤷🏼♂️
@@VikingsGarage Thank Alot for your response, but of course I am not a specialist, so I will resort to whoever can help, whether he is a specialist or has sufficient knowledge of what I should do. Of course, I do not wish any harm or responsibility towards you, but it is possible for you to at least guide me or advise me on what to do without explicit help, if possible, in the event of your refusal. I have complete respect and appreciation for you, but I hope that you will help me because I have lost hope regarding this matter that I am inquiring about.
What does something like this cost?? I know dealers and areas are different, but generally speaking, what are we looking at cost wise if we were to come into the dealer JUST to have this update done?? I appreciate your time and help.
God bless~
Minimum $150, that's what it cost to diagnose something. I just had my 4runner diagnosed at toyota and that's what they charged just to look at it.
It sounds about right, but I would check with the advisor. I believe they usually charge 1 hour. The update on my vehicle took 5 minutes(the actual update) but they usually take about 30 minutes solid.
@@VikingsGarage that’s crazy. Think they’d have a flat rate for something like this 🤷♂️ yeah right lol course they didn’t do it like other manufacturers and allow it to upgrade on its own, but at least my trucks still runnin strong and will be much longer than some others
👍🏻
What happens if you hit the check for update button?
Nothing really, it will never find an update unless you have one in a flash drive plugged in.
@@VikingsGarage ok thank 😎
Update Gracenote?
Update Maps data?
Some of these updates will.
Does the software update address the channel limits on the 4-Runner (other cars?) with SiriusXM? My channels stop at 229 (I think) even though XM goes up to like 500. That ticks me off BIG TIME.
Honesty I do not know, reading the bulletin. Doesn’t mention anything about that 🤷🏼♂️
I need a file for toyota camry 2018 gcc sepcs 😭
I have a 2016 Tacoma and my stereo sound went completely out it started on the front speakers and in time it progress to every speaker. Does anyone have experience with this problem
Why after I update still no sound? My its is300 2021
🤷🏼♂️
If they could give the ability to disable the warning splash screen that would be great.
I do agree, kind of annoying really. 👍🏻
Yes!!! I can’t stand that thing!! Even when you touch the tab it doesn’t really speed it up either.
😅
my friend, my radio of tundra 2023 was corrupted, radio audio bad, i need the archive of my radio for reinstall all system better is update or not, please send me the archive system update
lol
Can you help my my 2018 Camry Le I want a software update please help model 17tdonaea00
Very nice! Now, for the 64,000 dollar question, do you notice any difference? 😀
Absolutely not 🤣🤣🤣
@@VikingsGarage 🤣
the navigation that comes in the car is a joke. how do you update that???
Okay I know your downloading to a computer thats where Ive got a problem, never used a sd card and I most likely cant figure out how to open a file and record it to a sd card? Android I can do anything😂
Available in mexico? Test in mexican car?
???
It's a shame that y'all profit off something that's for the better of the car, i bet if u didn't work there you would have our point of view, what are we paying for ? for you to perform 3 steps that's what they pay you to do. Its so tacky of Toyota. That's like Apple or Android making us pay to update our IOS yall would raise hell if that happened
how can we update and make our navigation usable? is this part of the scam of making people pay for stuff after their car is sold?? i lost a lot of respect for toyota when they started charging people for remote start etc. i paid A LOT of money for my car. Terrible look and business decision IMHO
My Sister gifted me from my trust a toyota camry SE and she insisted I drive a hour and a half to her guy, I dont think he intentionally gave me the wrong information just think he does'nt know entune suites discontinued permenantly 2023 for seperate apps he said keep my phone plugged in on bluetooth and it will work? Nope my car had 8 years of att and they couldn't remove him finaly she manually gave me the hotspot trial 7 days I think system showed wpa access point the same stuff I have for free on my phone! Dashcam not working but system did show cameras and this time on navigation and Maps instead of unavailable it says contact toyota! Toyota connect is in a class action lawsuit so I assume the dealership should update it took it home sept.21 back for re detailing mud in door pockets? Weird hope I didn't get a flood car? They kept it 4days gave me a loaner 24 rave4 same issue wont connect, should I call the general manager first or go tomarrow and get loud? Techically Iv'e had it 2 weeks

Can I buy this as I went to two of the NY dealerships and they don’t know anything about it!!! Then most Lexus dealers loose money by not knowing anything about their own cars and SUVs.But if you go to a Mercedes-Benz dealer every sales person is extremely knowledgeable.
You can buy it, but the cost ain’t worth it. A 24 hour pass won’t allow downloads.
Do you need to subscribe to TIS to make this work?
yes
