2023 Set to be a Banner Year for Toyota In-Car Tech

Toyota vehicles have always been known for their remarkable reliability as well as their advanced safety features and their impressive efficiency. Last year, Toyota introduced its brand-new Toyota multimedia system and in the process pushed the brand at the top of the industry in terms of in-vehicle connectivity.

A range of advanced features in the new Toyota Multimedia system

The latest Toyota Multimedia system is faster than it was before, has an optional larger 14-inch glare-reducing screen, more app compatibility and for the first time, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The ease-of-use improvements even reach the wireless charge pad, which has been moved to a more easily reachable location for both driver and passenger.

In addition to the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto apps, Toyota users now have access to a number of connected services that make your time behind the wheel that much easier.

The first of these comes in the form of “Hey Toyota” voice activation, which allows for your navigation (whose map can be pinched and spun, just like on your smartphone), your climate control and even your seat warmers to be controlled by a simple voice command. If you’d rather speak with a real person, Toyota’s Destination Assist tech can connect you with a live agent 24/7 that can help you reach your destination and even make reservations for you and your family.

The system’s Remote Connect app is also an invaluable tool, as it allows you to start your vehicle remotely, making sure the in-car temp is comfortable as you step in and will even tell you where you’ve last parked. No more spending a half hour trying to find your Highlander in a busy mall parking lot during the holidays!

Add the stolen vehicle locator and roadside assistance service provided by the Safety Connect tool, and you have a multimedia system that is about so much more than streaming MP3s – though it can do that too, of course!
