Originally designed to be a revenue generating service, Toyota took it fee-free in 2013.It seems a number of usability quirks and connectivity issues have been improved since taking possession of my Prius.

I have seen many videos and posts about people having their radio frozen. They found that the only way to get the radio back is by replacing the unit. However, I know that there are updates that we can do to the system. If we do these updates, it is possible that the system might not freeze in the future. (My theory)
Where can we download the firmware and update it ourselves through an USB?
I know that some versions you can do it through the app, but mine doesn't support that.
Lets start this discussion so that we can prevent this from happening.
