GR86 Head unit software update

[911sse]

Has anyone asked Toyota or a dealer about updates?

Digging into the update system, it looks broken. The GR86 head unit makes update checks over Wi-Fi to a fixed URL ending in ...redbend.com. This is a company that specialises in OTA update distribution. Which makes sense. However, they appear to no longer be online. So, when your car says "No update available", that's because the request generates a 404 error. There is simply no reply as the server is offline. The only obvious way to fix this would be a software update via USB.

Might ask about this when it's in for a service next month then.

That's irritating :/

Not sure how relevant to us this is but still interesting, esp about dev mode. I thought I'd done that before

did you manage to get the entire URL?

Accesing via browser gives a 404 error, but it pings sucesfully so there is something there...

On the positive, at least we know we won’t get a load of granny aids sent down from above dictating our speed and location of the car in the lane, nudging the wheel and vibrating the gas pedal.

Yes, the top domain is there. And the fact it gives a 404 means there is something responding from Cloudflare's infrastructure. When you add the subdomains - it's dead. There's nothing.

Could be that they only bring it up for when there is an update available.
