    It seems there have been some relevant updates last year, rolled out to basically all Toyotas with similar infotainment - new ones should have it out of the box.
    Some changes:
    • Car Play doesn't cover the normal Toyota menu anymore (and has optional fullscreen mode)
    • Can silence "youre too fast beeps" via touchscreen
    • Some even more ugly 3d visualization of energy flow
    Did you get anything? In my case i didnt get a singular update OTA but my dealer said there is something (after I asked them) but then they failed to apply it during service as it takes up to 5 hours. I will go back.

    Just as heads up to anyone that never had an update - it might be possible and apparently Toyota still sucks with OTA.

    Not surprising. They cant even keep the server stable when its cold in the morning and many people suddenly want to remote heat via app.

    EDIT: Im not talking about the maps!

    Im not sure why they persist in providing that; it’s hands-down the most distracting/pointless gimmick, and of course the default display, at least on our gen 3.

    I've got an update with the new energy flow etc, but that came when I had my head unit replaced after a map update failure.

    Do you think the update has really been done OTA for anyone?

    The speed beep touchscreen indication is there for me on that new head unit, but it only indicates state and doesn't work as a button - I was assuming that was due to lack of some update to the main dash.

    I read that some people in Germany got an update OTA but given service said its 5 hours I cant imagine how that would work. (CHR got this update OTA last year too).

    As for the speed limit button, I tested that in a newer corolla and chr ( you click on it and it turns the sound off) and the newer Prius 5 have it too. Would be a bummer if the update is only as you say it. After all it needs to connect from infotainment to the main dash yeah.
