So, I check the download page for the radio firmware every couple of months and there was an update in June and I had no problem applying that to my 2017 Highlander Limited Platinum with navigation. I checked today and the download page shows a "new" update with a release of September 8th. When I go to download it the file looks like it is named the same as the June file, at first I thought this was odd but maybe a Toyota thing so the radio wouldn't take the wrong firmware. When I put the usb drive in the car and go to update it recognizes that there is a usb attached, I have tried a couple different usb drives, and when I go to setup>general>software update, it doesn't recognize that there is a new update on usb drive (I think last time it popped up and said hey new software). So is this the same file and they changed the release date? Did they upload or link to the wrong file? Am I doing it wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

do a search and see what happened last time a firmware update was posted on their site and what the resolution was. same-same, bros.
Thanks to this thread I went out to my 2014 HL. I had to enable Entune on my phone first. I normally have it disabled because it eats up battery life. Once I enabled it a screen popped up insisisting there was a mandatory update. Downloaded and updated effortlessly. Not exactly sure what it was for, but it was mandatory, right?
What is that website url and how does that update differ from the "critical" updates that I sometimes get messages for that come over the phone? Could Toyota make this more confusing?
There are TWO kinds of updates for Entune.
The update that happens through a phone app, "over the air", is for the Entune Apps. All it does is sync up the apps on the head unit, the app on your phone, and whatever those apps are talking to on the Internet.
The second kind of update is usually called a "firmware update" in the computer world. It's an update for the Entune system itself inside the radio head unit. That's the kind of update that could potentially solve problems such as rebooting, freezing, or other misbehavior on the head unit. That kind of update can only be done through the USB port. You put a new firmware file on a USB flash drive and follow instructions to get the head unit to pull it in and install it.

I think I found the URL: https://securedp.toyota.com/download-app/getUpdates
When I put in my model and year it comes back with "Your Toyota Vehicle has an available multimedia software update (Version 0101D7 & 010157)". The first number matches my current Audio version and the I can not find the second number. I downloaded it to a USB but when I put the USB in nothing happens like others have been reporting.

Anyone know where I can find another source for this software update file? I don't know why its not downloading, I even deactivated all ad pop up plug-ins.
