No, if you already have an existing account for any of the applications, you can simply link them to the Toyota Entune™ application during registration. This allows vehicle integration and gives you the ability to utilize the various in-vehicle controls.

Yes! Entune™ will update your preferences between the various third-party applications and data services. You can personalize music from Internet radio apps (iHeartRadio [1] and Pandora®) and they will be recognized. If you personalize MovieTickets.com [1] and OpenTable® [1], those too are recognized. With Bing™, you can save a POI, then when you connect with your vehicle it will transfer it to the vehicle’s navigation [11]. You can also set the data services to report current traffic and weather conditions in your area or throughout the United States. Sports scores and stock quotes can also be customized to your preference.

All applications are accessible when in Park.

Not at this time. We recognize the consumer demand for these services and are studying ways to safely implement them within the vehicle.

Yes, but it is limited to POIs (Points of Interest) to assist you with directions through the navigation [11] system. General web searches through Bing™ are not available.

Yes, Entune™ will provide control of all the application functions for most phones including in-vehicle displays, controls, and data retrieval. The data stream is conducted wirelessly between the mobile phone and the multimedia system when it is paired using Bluetooth® [3] technology. Select phones, such as the iPhone® [6], will require a USB cable to use Entune.™ However, you must launch the Entune™ application on your mobile phone. Entune™ will lock you out of the application on your phone and operate from the in-vehicle controls.

Entune™ does not control any apps on your phone except for the Entune™ app itself. Therefore, when your phone is connected, you can use any app on your phone with the exception of the Entune™ app. The Entune™ app is locked out while the phone is connected, so use the in-vehicle controls instead.

Toyota is always looking for ways to enhance the driving experience. There are several apps that are being considered for future inclusion, but we have no announcements at this time. Toyota created a flexible and adaptable system that offers easy upgrades for new applications and services through wireless updates on mobile phones.
