Purchased 2018 Camry XSE 4cyl. with all options in Aug. 2017. We had a 2016 XSE 4cyl. The navigation system was simple and good but its upgraded stereo was terrible. Now in the 2018, the upgrade stereo is tremendous but the navigation, WIFi, remote start all are a technology nightmare. To think you pay $35k for a new car and you can’t use theses features. There has not been any resolution from Toyota. October 29, 2019, this is an update to our previous Camry review. Toyota has recalled our Camry and replaced their Scout system with Apple Play. What a fantastic difference! We are very appreciative of Toyota for addressing our issue and we are well pleased with the upgrade.

Entune Seriously Sucks

Do your homework! I trusted Toyota (and Consumer Reports for that matter) but I am sorely disappointed. I am surprised stupid Entune 3.0 hasen't caused people to crash. I have an Android (S8) and have to shut down my phone at least once a week for Entune to work. I often get the message that Scout (the TERRIBLE tethered nav system - I repeat TETHERED nav system) cannot communicate with Entune, Entune apps are not functioning, etc. I would change the head unit in a hot second if I could but the way the dash is designed, there isn't a way to swap it out. My husband already got so frustrated with his 2018 RAV4's Entune system that we have spent an additional $1300 replacing the unit. (Yes, we did buy two Toyotas at the same time and yes, we are regretting doing so.) If it wasn't for the fact that I like the folks at the dealership I would consider staging a protest out front. It's not their fault that Toyota is not upgrading to a 21st century system BUT I'm starting to feel that there is a lack of "Truth in Advertising" when it comes to this system. If you rely on tech, go buy an Accord. Way less frustrating.

Great except for the navigation

I purchased a 2028 Camry XSE with all options. Everything is very good except for the Scout navigation. Nothing is built into the car. To use it you must have the Scout app on your smartphone and the phone linked to your car. Once you get into the car you need to plug the phone into a USB port, and then start the app on Entune. If you go out of network, functionality goes away until back in network. When you leave the car, you need to remember to unplug and take your phone with you. If you get a heads up display, you will only see navigation on a V6 with integrated navigation. The app itself leaves much to be desired. In three years you will need to pay a subscription fee to use it.
NAVer again!

I was taken in by the car's look, enjoyed the test drive and believed I paid a fair price. I never dreamed a company of Toyota's caliber would fall down flat on the technology side. The Entune 3.0 system was a major disappointment. (I should have required a phone to be setup on the system before purchasing it) I have only had the car a week and regret the purchase. This of course is an opinion; I would however suggest if the technology inside the car is important to you, have a phone paired to the car and see for yourself before you sign on the dotted line. Update: I’m hearing Toyota will transition to car play instead of beating the dead horse called “entune” in their 2019 models. Unfortunately there is no upgrade for the 2018. *** Update June 2019 Hearing that Toyota is offering an upgrade to Apple CarPlay for the 2018 models. The advertisement seemed to indicate there might be a charge from the Dealer. I called to get more information but no one seemed to know anything about it. I do not know if there will be a cost so changing my rating stands until then.
