I had problems with Toyota media player software that constantly cycled me out of Carplay to display to display an authorization error. 3G vehicle connectivity isn't good enough for Toyota to fix any account/software problems. My media player connectivity started to throw authorization errors when out of good cell coverage for a week. Excellent internet connectivity from starlink to the app doesn't matter. The vehicle needs to be on a better than 3G cell service for Toyota to fix an issue..
I had to drive to a town with modern cell service so Toyota could fix the problem. Support was excellent, including quick escalation to higher level tech support. At least on a weekday.
The seed of my problem was probably getting the new iphone a few days before leaving. The Toyota app still work, but I lost unknowingly lost my digital key in the app. So I think the bottom line is to be sure to download a digital key before venturing off grid, even if there is no plan to use it. I suspect the vehicle would have been happier off the cell network if it say the key in my app.
For people struggling to get the digital key downloaded it's worth contacting Toyota support to get it sorted out. Also, buy a couple of CR2450 key fob batteries and keep in the glovebox.
