One of the coolest tech features available in the 2017 Camry SE is Toyota’s infotainment system, Entune. This integrated telematics and multimedia system includes information like sports scores, fuel prices, stocks, weather, and traffic, along with the ability to sync with your smartphone to play your favorite tunes or podcasts. Entune also includes integrated apps for music, including iHeartRadio, XM satellite radio, and Pandora.
Step One: Check Compatibility and Create Your Account(s)
Entune works with most Android and BlackBerry smartphones, as well as most models of the iPhone. Before you sync your device, check out the Entune website to make sure it’s compatible. The list is always increasing since Toyota developers add new devices to it regularly. Once you confirm that your phone works with the software, go to the app store that you use and download the Entune app. It’s free but you will need to sign in using the email address and password you used to set your Entune account. (You can easily create a new account at the Entune website.)
If you plan to use the integrated apps like MovieTickets.com, Pandora, and OpenTable, create free accounts on these websites as well. Once you have each account set up, link it through your Entune account.
Step Two: Pair Your Device
When you have created and linked your account(s) for Entune and any additional apps you’d like to use, get your phone and turn on Bluetooth. The system syncs to your device through Bluetooth so it must be turned on at all times when you’re in your car and using Entune. Start by touching the setup button on the screen in your Camry, then press Bluetooth, and then touch “Add.” You can add your device through this screen, but for safety, make sure to only attempt this when your car is parked.
After you have added it through the touchscreen display, you’ll have to choose the Toyota Vehicle option on the list of Bluetooth connections on your phone. Some devices require the entry of a PIN for security, but the system guides you through that if necessary. Give it a few minutes to complete the connection, and then your phone will be synced with your Camry.
Step Three: Use the Features
Entune has a lot of cool features that drivers and passengers love. You can check fuel costs to make sure you’re filling up at the lowest-priced station in your area. When you pair your device, Entune will also pull in your contacts and call history so it’s easy to make and receive telephone calls safely. Voice-activated technology also allows you to command the system to do specific tasks, like make a phone call, without taking your hands or eyes off the road.
If you have any trouble connecting your device with the Entune system in your 2017 Toyota Camry SE, review the resources available on Toyota’s website for assistance. You can also take it into a dealership for help if you just can’t get it to work. Once your phone is up and running with Entune, you’ll be able to take advantage of all it has to offer.
