What will the Toyota App do for me?
The kind of technology that is standard equipment in most Toyota vehicles is nothing short of miraculous. We’ve come a long way from AM/FM radios and cassette players. Being able to connect a compatible smartphone to the Toyota infotainment system is such a ubiquitous feature that it’s hardly worth talking about anymore. However, our manufacturing partner is taking the next major logical step by developing an application that will allow Toyota owners to interact with their vehicles even when they are in their car, truck or SUV. If you are wondering, ‘What is the Toyota app,’ or ‘What will the Toyota app do for me,’ the product experts at Doc’s Toyota in Philadelphia, MS, are here to help. Our team put together this handy guide to introduce you to the application’s most useful features.
Track Maintenance
Once the Toyota App is downloaded to your compatible Android or iOS phone, you will be able to receive on-the-fly updates about the current health of your Toyota vehicle. You will be alerted when it’s time to schedule an oil change and then use the same app to schedule that appointment at Doc’s Toyota. Additionally, you’ll be able to review all of your maintenance records starting from when you activated the application.
Remote Access
The ability to remotely lock or unlock a vehicle isn’t new. Users of the Toyota app will be able to do these things without adding bulky key fobs to the key chains. Not only will app users be able to remotely start the vehicle from a fair distance, but they will also be able to trigger the lights and horn to help them find their car, truck or SUV in a densely packed parking lot.
Smartwatch Compatible
If you are a particularly tech-savvy Toyota owner, you’ll be able to get much of the same information and trigger many of the same systems by pairing the app to a compatible smartwatch. This will allow people to leave their phones in their pockets or purse without losing functionality.
Make Payments
Did you use Toyota Financial Services to finance or lease your Toyota vehicle? You will also be able to use the Toyota app to make payments, conveniently and securely. People who intend on using this feature will need to make sure they have an active online Toyota Financial Services account and that it is linked to their Toyota app.
Which Toyota Vehicles can use the Toyota app?
The Toyota app can be used with certain 2010 and newer Toyota vehicles. Available features will depend on the model and model year of a Toyota vehicle you own.
