    I was at a dealership today messing around with the Plus audio system. The sales rep could not answer my question. Can you download say Pandora app to the Plus and if so will you be able to change the Pandora station from the radio of the Plus? As usual people here know far more than the salesmen. Thanks

    I'm pretty sure the Entune apps are limited to the Advanced model. I'm also pretty sure, however, that you can run/receive Pandora on your smartphone and pipe the audio into the Plus' audio system.

    If the Entune app is anything like what I had on my PIP base model, then yes Pandora is one of the apps available on Entune

    Just go to the app store on your phone and download it, (the Entune app) Since your're not using it on an Advanced model (needing contract ID) you should be able to see what's available.

    correct, as long as you have a smart phone and data plan. entune is the same on all three models, except for charging and pre conditioning.
    all it means is that the apps toyota allows will work from your phone to the screen.

    Pandora will work on every prime with the "app" they give you on the screen.

    From the YouTube videos on the topic, "tainment" part of the Entune "infotainment" package consists of Pandora, iHeartRadio, and Slacker.
