Thanks for the update. I was at the dealer this morning for the 5000 mile update and they mentioned there was no new update. I had brake squeal for a short time around 3000 miles. Since than, its been quiet.

The version of my toyota car software?
I had to take a video since there's a ton. Each litle section has a header with what I presume identifies the part/software for the subsequent info. Here's what I got:
HU = Version 1861
CDD8= Version 3080
VRD8= Version 1030
SYS/CAN = Version 1006
SEC = Version 1000
VP = Version 1030
MET = Version 1002
My versions in BOLD (I have a 2024 FE purchased May 2024) and do NOT have the sidebar:
HU = Version 1810
CDDB= Version 2939
VRDB= Version 1028
SYS/CAN = Version 1005
SEC = Version 1000 (SAME)
VP = Version 1030 (SAME)
MET = Version 1002 (SAME)
From what I can tell by searching on other Toyota forums, the systems are as follows:
HU = Head Unit
CDDB= CD Database (I.e. GraceNote)
VRDB= Voice Recognition Database
SYS/CAN = System Controller Area Network Bus
SEC = Security
VP = ??
MET = ?? meters maybe??

Did this info ever get passed on to Eric…curious if he had any more input? Thanks

Yes I passed it on and he replied that the versions were different and would look into it when he had time.
Bumping this thread... Has anyone had any luck updating their infotainment software? I brought this up with my dealer at the 15K service, but was told that it requires the "diagnostics" team to get engaged and would delay the service significantly. Gave up and decided to take this up some other time.

I went to the dealership last week for my 5k and the brake issue, and they didn't have an update available for the infotainment system.

This is all interesting because our 2025 4Runner with the smaller screen has the side bar and the optional expand / contract button at the top left of the Carplay screen.

My late '24 GX 550 came with the side bar installed and my '23 LX 600 seems to have gotten an automatic update at some point.

LC last to the the party. Also sucks that they gave it normal USBC ports QC / PD ports that 24+ Tacomas and 25+ 4Runners have.
I purchased this exact adapter and another type and neither works.
Both adapters with multiple different USB thumb drives formatted in fat32 are not recognized by the vehicle, so I am unable to check for any software updates.

The USB version has to be 2.0. I had to try a few thumb drives until I found one that the vehicle would accept.
Is there an update available with the side bar?View attachment 36300

I just tried again now. Downloaded my .json file from my 2024 LC FE and searched for firmware. Said I had the latest version already even though Ive never gotten an update and still don't have the sidebar. Wish I could force the update, but the site won't give me files to download unless it detects my versions is older and needs update.

Seems like the sidebar is unique to 25’s and whatever version they are running. I’ve stopped trying to figure it out at this point.
I had a 2022 Lexus with basically the same multimedia set up and in the two years I owned it only one update was released. I don’t see any updates coming for the Land Cruiser.
