Toyota hasn't offered an update for our 2015 Highlander's Entune system since 2017. I snag the map updates for cheap from eBay, but that's about it. The system sucks so bad... My parents' 2015 Camry has the same system and they don't use the navigation at all, choosing Google Maps or whatever instead. I mean there is absolutely no reason why entering one address needs to be divided into multiple ambiguous fields over multiple screens, completely dependent on what region you select on the first screen, which may or may not be correct since it looks for exact matches and not a "general" area; and stopping the navigation should be "stop navigation", not "delete destination" ffs. Garmin, TomTom, Magellan, etc. had this figured out 20 fucking years ago.
I get why Toyota likes to stick with "old but proven" tech, but that Entune system....jesus fucking christ what a dumpster fire.
