My Camry SatNav needs updating

[Davo'sCamry]

Hi all,

I have a three year old Camry Hybrid, very happy with it but the maps are out of date. The dealer updated them about 18 months ago on a service but I've noticed that they aren't anywhere up to date as the SatNav apps I have on my iPhone.

I know I can contact the dealer to ask but is there any other way to find out what the latest version of maps is and cost? Can we DIY?

 

Thanks,

Davo.

I don't believe it's possible to diy the update. I have a 2 year old Camry, and have the same issue with my nav system. At my first service last year, they told me there wasn't an update available. I am hoping there is one when I take it for the 2nd service in April. Finding what is the current map version, has so far proved impossible.

Thanks for reply, Chris.

Bit of a bummer, Toyota seems to want to keep us in the dark?🤔

Let us know what they say when you take it in for its service, see if you can find out what level your software/map is at.

Thanks - that's before you have the service I guess.

Where did you get that info from, I spent 20 minutes going through every available setting on my car's screen and couldn't find anything like that.

All I could see is Audio 1600 12/6/20, Audio 1499 12/6/20, Navigation 1530 12/6/20. I think the 1600 etc refer to the times the updates were done on that date.

If I go to Current I see Audio 1600, Nav 1530.

I also see Model ID DCU 19TDT20C - EAPA and Model ID MEU 19TMT20C - EA02.

I don't have a clue what any of all the above info means.

I have the same model number on my infotainment system and I couldnt find anything online.

Toyota service centre is asking for 300$ to upgrade the firmware.

I see that there are ways to download

but the site doesnt have this model.

 

 

Did you finally get a way to download it?

[Davo'sCamry]

$300?? Holy cow!

No, I didn't download it I put the hard word on the local dealer at last year's service and demanded they do it free - which they did, the next service(!) after faffing around for months, quoting staff shortages due to Covid and then they stuffed it up the first time. Anyone would think it's akin to rocket science!
