Using Map and Weathe

So I have a 16 CM TRD and wondering what I need to do so I can use the Map and Weather parts of the truck. I thought the Entune app would do it but I can’t get the thing to pair to my phone. Is it user problems haha cause I can’t figure it out!!!

Thanks for the help!

 

I'm going to assume your entune headunit is about the same as mine. If that is the case then the Entune app is essentially worthless. I've yet to figure out what, if anything, it is good for. I believe Weather relies on an HD radio signal. If you have a stubby antenna you may or may not have enough signal strength for it to come in. Mine works most of the time, even with the Stubby.
For the map, you need the Scout GPS Link app.

Even then it only gives turn by turn, it doesn't actually show a map.

 

I've tried to install scout on my JBL entune and it does not work. I think its a 2018+ thing.

 

Hmm

So I guess having a broken antenna is not gonna help the situation at all...

 

The Scout app is only for Entune Plus head units (non-Navi) 2016+ trucks, the Entune Premium (Navi) and JBL headunits are not compatible with the scout app.

 

I am confused. Why do you need to use the Scout app at all? My maps work just fine without it. I open it up, put in the location, and it works flawlessly. Why don't you juts use the default?

 

The Scout app is intended for units without navigation, the Scout app is kind of navigation add on if you don’t have it.

Just a clarification, you have to download the Scout Link app not the Scout main app to do this.

Gotcha. Thanks for that clarification.
