GPS

I recently purchased a new to me 2018 Tacoma SR5 with Entune Auto Plus w/Connected Nav App Scout GPS Link. The owners manual refers you to http://www.toyota.com/entune/ for details but there is no such link. I have an Android cell phone.
My phone is connected to the truck, but I cannot find a way to see a map or get a GPS signal on the trucks screen. I'd appreciate anyone that can give me step by step instructions as to how to set it up.

Thanks

 

I could be wrong, but I think the 3rd gen head unit only supports apple AirPlay. However, I know for a fact that you can connect an android phone via cable or Bluetooth and play music, make phone calls, etc. Projecting video like a maps/navigation app, no.

CAVEAT: I own an iPhone

 

You have to download "Scout GPS" from the google playstore for GPS to work the in truck screen.

Not worth it. Stick with the native google maps from your phone and Bluetooth audio cues is much better experience.

But try it out and decide if it work for you or not.

 

Carplay was not available on the 2018. 2 out of the 3 available head units should have its own internal navigation with a 2018 map as standard.

 

Thank you for correcting me.

 

I've never heard of this but I found these links:

That sounds like a digital house of cards, if you ask me. I went with a nice phone mount and have been quite happy, for what it's worth.

 

Check out this link, Toyota got rid of Scout GPS along with other apps.

Does your head unit have the SD map card installed? The port is on the lower right corner of the front.

 

There is no SD card or slot for one.

 

From the link in post #7:

What is happening?
Scout GPS Link will no longer be supported after October 30, 2023.

Which vehicles are impacted by this?

Replace head unit for Android Auto/Carplay.
