Do you have these new Toyota apps on your phone?

 When it comes to technology and connectivity, Toyota is pretty forward-thinking. Their cars are stocked with the latest and greatest tech for entertainment, convenience, and safety. But recently, that forward-thinking mindset has been stretched one step farther... to your phone. Here's a quick guide to Toyota's latest suite of new Toyota apps that you should have on your device if you own or drive one of our vehicles. 

Toyota Service Connect 

This app is excellent for keeping your car in the best shape possible. As you probably guessed from the name, it makes car care, maintenance, and repairs easier than ever before. Once you link it to your Orlando Toyota's VIN, Toyota Service Connect can send you reminders about your car's maintenance, let you know how it's doing health-wise, and if you have a light come on in the dash, let you know why it's on. It also sends our Orlando Toyota service alerts if you have a car care issue so we can check in with you and see if you need to schedule a service appointment for your new Toyota. 

Toyota Remote Connect 

Remote Connect is designed to make driving your new Toyota as easy, enjoyable, and convenient as possible. With this app, you can log in to lock and unlock your car right from your phone, as well as start your car (which is perfect for hot summers - imagine climbing into a cool cabin at the end of the day), and get vehicle status alerts for your fuel level. You can also assign guest drivers and then set limits for their speed and mileage (great for teen drivers). 

Additionally, if you drive the Orlando Toyota Prius Plug-in or Toyota Mirai, Toyota Remote Connect will help you find charging stations or hydrogen fueling stations, control the climate settings of the interior, and manage your car's charge. 

Joya Virtual Driving Companion 

If you've ready any of our articles, you know that paying attention when you're behind the wheel is critical to safety. This means you have to keep your hands on the wheel (and off of your phone). That's where Joya comes in. This voice-controlled virtual assistant acts as a digital tool to keep you connected to your new Toyota (the tool will first be introduced in the 2021 Toyota Sienna). It's kind of like a car owner's manual in AI form - it'll be able to fetch you information for anything and everything you want to know about your Orlando Toyota. 

Stay safe and connected every time you get behind the wheel. See it all in person - you can visit Toyota of Orlando to learn more about these new Toyota apps AND test them out for yourself. Call us at (407) 298-4500 or stop by and see us at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall.
