Good points. I wonder if the Entune thing is "self renewing" (renews until you tell it not to) or if we'll get a notice.
HOW TO FIX: Toyota Entune 2.0.1 Update breaks Internet Tethering over Bluetooth - Scott Hanselman I found this while surfing, my phone isn't set up as a hotspot but i'm going to try this in the morning and see if it helps.
still looking for answers and haven't gotten in the car yet today to try the above link but i did find this Toyota.com - Connect and found that some of the things that frustrate me don't work with my phone.
According to that link I get the following: "Sorry, your selected vehicle and phone combination has not been tested." Guess what? IT works!!!
You aren't paying for Entunes for AT LEAST the next three years if ever. Cool features are Bing search and nav, Traffic and Pandora.
ok, so the droid doesn't require a hotspot but I did update the entune account on the setting just like I was using one and it works now, in the drive way that is and after I had entune running no my phone for more than 15 min. inorder to have it connect to the internet and stay connected long enough to do/check anything I had to deactivate the "play music via bluetooth" then everything worked fine.
My car ships with crapware - Scott Hanselman this is a good read and will explain better than I why we are having such difficulty with the entune system.
I escaped Entune with buying model Two. Does anybody know if basic audio also can be updated like Entune system?
