The three ultimately include the same “everything” for owners. It’s for Toyota that the implementation makes a difference. L28: Check -> Calibrate and update or replace J0D: Update -> replace if update doesn’t work JSD: Check -> Calibrate and update or repair and update or replace Skipping the...

The update having been the same (and hopefully working) since the beginning of 2018 MY production, that leaves only the difference in management/procedure between Toyota US and Toyota Canada to speculate on. The two entities operate independently. (Like launching the campaign gradually in...

To my ears and with original equipment of the car, USB. Plus easy menu to navigate from the screen. Bluetooth, so so...

The economy part is still true when buying the car, but in most cases not in MPG. New AT are generally more efficient. But if one wants control, yes ! They are simpler and may cost less to repair but are not exempt from problems like any mechanical device and require more frequent maintenance...

Should read inspecting (and replacing if needed) the solenoid.

That would be consistent with what we now see on some forums : the J0D campaign didn't last even 2 weeks and Toyota spend the next 3 months searching the reason why some CVTs (not all, by far) went bad after the upgrade, like would do an old high-mileage transmission never before serviced after...

If the update is new, yes. But others say that the update is the same, but a different procedure. o_O

In music, none. For phone, menu navigation as you do need "enter", not wanting any contact the arrows go on to be immediately call.

Again, Toyota doesn't say much (hello transparency) but since the 2018 are not on the list, one can assume that it's still the same firmware update that has been use in them.

OK, I get you now, between “not usable” and “all they do is”. You mean limited functions, not no functions. The same could be said of voice command, limited to phone calls in Entune Multimedia. But for what you describe, you wouldn’t be happier with Entune Premium where steering wheel buttons...

Wrong...that's the sole purpose of those arrows. And the track (or station) start automatically, no need to "enter". Unless you're streaming via bluetooth (not all bluetooth protocols support this function). But try it with radio, CD, USB drive, you'll see.

Well, yes and no. In Entune Multimedia (non navigation unit) you don't need an "enter" button since an element (track, station) is automatically selected when you reach it via the arrows. In Entune Premium (navigation units), you might need to select and "enter" because of navigation and phone...

↑↓ Next preset radio station or ← → Next station (seek) ↑↓ Next music track or ← → Fast forward / rewind in current track MODE: On (if off) or Source (if on) or hold to mute ≤: Previous screen Arrows are also used to navigate in menus, central button acting as “Enter” IF you have the premium...

No ! Had it done like many (Canada) without any problem. Not all CVTs have consequences from this firmware problem, which apparently may manifest itself on vehicle frequently driven at higher rpm. Not sure why they need the car for the day. Possibly appointment management as the service itself...

The campaign remains for 2014-2017 models. As mentioned, the 2018 were in all probability produced with the corrected firmware.

Hope it doesn't mean a second campaign for us Canadians. All the service not said here is "CVT firmware upgrade and inspection". Maybe we were guinea pigs ;) ! At least now we know to check infamous P2820 code !

So apparently, some US owners are receiving notification to get the upgrade. ECU firmware upgrade "if necessary" (?) and test/inspection of gear ratio control solenoid valve. If confirmed, that might be an indication that Toyota US is actually proceeding like Toyota Canada : not everybody at...

Also depends on what you want to do with your car :

Definitely a possibility… but do we know enough facts to be affirmative? Besides, it could be hardware and still be – or not – managed by software (see Civic’s bad pulley material). It could also be software ending up in hardware damage (see Nissan’s fluid temp management). The thing is in both...
