The all-new Toyota Multimedia system has arrived, and it includes a huge list of new features and enhancements! The new system makes your driving experience easier than ever, whether that’s connecting to your smartphone, listening to music, checking the weather, or getting directions.
With this new system, Toyota continues to stay dedicated to creating unity between drivers and their vehicles, offering enhanced user experience from the moment they turn their vehicle on.
Elevate Your Driving Experience with Drive Connect
Toyota Multimedia introduces the new Drive Connect package that will elevate your driving experience even further. Drive Connect features Cloud Navigation, Intelligent Assistant and Destination Assist.
Cloud Navigation has amazing and convenient features such as Google Points of Interest (star ratings and opening hours), real-time traffic, road closures, map updates, dynamic route suggestion and pinch to zoom to see a more detailed view of your route. These features are sure to help you reach your destination smoothly.
Intelligent Assistant is seamlessly integrated and expands on the standard Toyota Assistant functionality, allowing you to easily find your next destination. With Intelligent Assistant, you can ask ‘’Hey Toyota, find a bakery’’ and the results to your search will appear on the cloud navigation screen including the hours of operation and Google star rating. You can also dictate free-form messages and send them straight to your contacts, making communicating on-the-go completely hands-free.
Destination Assist provides drivers with 24/7 access to a live agent to help you locate places to go and things to do. You will get destination coordinates straight to your vehicle’s navigation system, just press “Go” and you will be on your way.
Smooth Performance and Enhanced User Experience
While the multimedia unit is available in different screen sizes, its largest size – 14 inches, is the biggest ever to be featured on a Toyota vehicle. The new unit is created with optically bonded glass that reduces screen glare and comes with dual Bluetooth pairing. You will love the high performance and quick response akin to a smartphone thanks to the 5 times greater processing power, compared to the previous generation system.
Designed with the future in mind, over-the-air (OTA) updates provide real-time updates for navigation mapping, an optimized media experience, and more enhancements are to come across the system’s lifetime. OTA updates allow for the development of software in more manageable pieces, providing customers with faster updates. The new interface went through thousands of hours of consumer feedback and testing to ensure optimal user experience.
Toyota Multimedia features standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, so there’s no need for a cord to connect your smartphone. With standard Toyota Assistant, use your voice for simple commands such as adjusting the radio station and more – all you need to do is say “Hey Toyota.”
Everything You Need, Right at Your Fingertips
Toyota App is– a key part of Toyota Multimedia and Connected Services experience. The app will allow you to use Remote Connect (if equipped) and Service Connect, manage your Toyota profile, set a preferred dealer, manage alerts and more!
Toyota Multimedia adds support for personalized User Profiles. User Profiles allow each driver to save their own multimedia and vehicle settings, like radio favourites, display language or favourite destinations.
The User Profiles feature is perfect if you have multiple drivers in your family. Each profile can be paired to a unique mobile device or a key fob so that the vehicle can automatically recognize it and recall your settings. Up to three drivers can save their User profile to the vehicle for even greater convenience.
Life Made Easier with Connected Services
Remote Connect is a popular Connected Services feature which allows you to start your vehicle from inside your home or office, allowing you to pre-condition the interior with heat or air conditioning. Remote Connect also allows you to see the Last Parked Location which uncovers your vehicle in a parking lot. You are also able to set specific vehicle conditions for a guest driver and pair the Toyota App with a compatible Apple Watch® or Android Wear device, using Remote Connect right from your watch.
Safety Connect is an amazing function that helps keep the driver and the vehicle safe when the unexpected occurs. Emergency assistance is as easy as a click of an SOS button away, roadside assistance will be sent directly to the vehicle’s location. Stolen Vehicle Locator helps the authorities if your vehicle is ever stolen.
Service Connect keeps your Toyota in top condition. It offers vehicle health reports, as well as the option to provide your servicing dealer with your vehicle maintenance alerts. This allows the dealer to communicate with you directly if your vehicle requires a service.
