Updating the firmware on a 2014 Toyota 4Runner is a simple task that takes just a few minutes. You will need: a good internet connection, a 2 gigabyte USB flash drive, and some patience.

The first step is to visit the "Audio Software Updates - Toyota" website, the official site released by Toyota for downloading updates, and enter the model, year, and type of radio you have, whether it has a navigation system or not. After entering your vehicle's details on the site, as shown in the video, you can download the file containing the radio update.

Once the download is complete, transfer the file to the USB flash drive.

The next step is to turn on your vehicle, insert the USB flash drive, and navigate to Settings - General Settings on the screen, scroll to Software Update, and when prompted "Download the new update?" press Yes. After the update is complete, remove the USB flash drive, turn off the vehicle, and turn it back on to finalize the update.

To verify that the radio update was successfully installed, go to Settings - General Settings - Software Update and click on Software Update History to check the date of the last update.
