My radio/entertainment system just stopped working while on the highway the other day. Would work for 2-3 seconds after choosing another preset or function, then go silent. Has only done this once and worked fine after restarting the car. At the dealership now--they're loading an updated Entune Rev, or something.

Just curious.
 
I have 16 as well and have not notice the problem. I keep the screen off so may have noticed the same problem. Please update what they have done and if that worked.
 
There's a TSB on it. Effects 2016 models. Probably just a firmware update to fix.
Just bugs in the new software...

I did a firmware update on 2016 using my cell Bluetooth which fixed the issue you are referring to here plus some Bluetooth pairing issue
 
I read on another forum (so can't verify that this is factual) that Toyota has released a total of 16 TSBs to fix entune/radio problems across the entire Toyota product line, but if true, it demonstrates that the entune system may be a bit buggy.

We had to have a TSB installed on our 2015 Highlander as it was re-booting itself waaay too frequently (11 times on a recent road trip).

I sure hope these software engineers aren't working on autonomous cars.
