The salesman I bought my LC from sent me one in Trail Dust to match my ride through the mail a few weeks after I took delivery. I thought it was really thoughtful.
I had issues with both the 15 and 16 pro iPhones running on the latest IOS. It doesn't always connect on entry. I have to manually do it and toggle the CarPlay on.
I've had this happen too. I mentioned it to the service advisor and he said there are usually some CarPlay issues with new vehicles.
I wrote an email to the brand engagement folks at Toyota and got a form letter in response. I knew that was going to happen, but I wanted to get it on the...
the Hino plant, denoted with an RK in the VIN, has been building FJ’s for decades. I’m heartened by how many of those I still see cruising around SoCal. Those cars haven’t been imported in 10 years.
I’m sure the Hino vs. Hamura plant thing will live large in our minds, but I think the...
Last December I got sick of the many small nuisances of my GLS 450, I went to the local Lexus dealership to check out a GX 460. I test drove it, and yes it was lovely and well-built.. it's a tank, but I wasn't sold despite having driven it and the Toyota badged LC Prado for long stretches in...
I waited for nearly a year (like most people on this forum) for a chance to buy this truck. I bored everyone who would listen to me drone on about the new LC.
I brought it home only to discover the worst thing about owning it... Everyone in the house wants to drive it. We're blessed to have...
My kids use the service in our vehicles when they can't agree what tunes to listen to on the road. It seems stable enough to support multiple streams (audio and video). I think my youngest used it recently to game with his cousin recently.
CarPlay has been all I've ever needed as a driver. My...
I live in Greater LA, not the downtown core, but I do a lot of stop and go city driving. There have been some flashes of brilliance, but for the most part I'm about where you are when I'm running errands.
I notice my mileage improves after 6 or 7 miles. It's been pretty good on the highway...
I'm a watch guy, so when I saw this Land Cruiser collaboration with G-Shock, I couldn't resist. I think it matches really well with our Trail Dust trucks. I also love how the watch case looks like an offroad tire.
Hey there, as I mentioned in a previous post for the sake of full disclosure, Eric and Beat-Sonic gave me the amp and provided the install to create their promotional video. I think the amp works very well to my ears. YMMV, as sound is subjective.
I will say, they did an amazing job putting...
Yes, and I've experimented a bit with it. If I leave CarPlay and go to the native navigation system before I exit, the map reappears when I turn the vehicle on the next time.
To be clear, it doesn't really provide a permanent fix. I called Toyota Brand Engagement to open a ticket. It resolves for a bit and gets weird again. This is a bug that will eventually get resolved through a software update.
None of this tech stuff makes me doubt the vehicle's reliability, or...
I have the same warning, but the key isn't in my Toyota App. It keeps asking me to download it. I was hoping to have it as a back up etc. It downloads when I disconnect my phone and delete the app and download it all again.
I love the way the vehicle drives and feels. I think the build quality is excellent. I bought it BECAUSE it's a Prado which I have leased for stretches when living in Dubai.
I'm rarely annoyed by the safety features, but I think the entertainment software has been my biggest gripe.
CarPlay...
