PRIUS ETUNES SYSTEM SOFTWARE

As it turns out, Toyota App on the smart phone is the single software package that controls all the Entune App Suites including Toyota +Alexa, Scout GPS, and Safety Connect (and WiFi Connect on LE). So, I did make a phone call to Toyota this morning and found out that since I disabled Safety Connect, I no longer have any on board Apps that was supplied by the head unit. And attempting to register again called up this page. Quick check on my phone Toyota App revealed that I no longer have my PP registered to the Toyota App. I initially had the ScoutGPS working without map, but during the trip, the HU called for the software update, and after the update, I found out that the ScoutGPS and all the Entune Apps are now not accessible and function is disabled. While I was on the road and away from my home town, I tried to use APPS and MAP functions on my PP. A few weeks after the deactivation of the Safety Connect, I did receive a courtesy post card from Toyota urging me to re-activate the Connected Service on my new 2020 Prius Prime, but I ignored.įast forward almost 7 months, I just had the first opportunity to take my PP on a longer trip over 500 miles. I never had reason to use any of the Apps or Map functionality on my brand new 2020 Prius Prime LE. I only had very short infrequent around town drives since then.

Then the COVID-19 restriction came and the car just sat on my driveway. Well, that was only a few days after I purchased my car early in the spring.

PRIUS ETUNES SYSTEM TRIAL

That seemed bit too much, and I really had no interest in paying fee for the service after free trial period ends, so I promptly used my registered Toyota App to opt-out the Safety Connect service. This means that the car as I drove off the dealer's lot was collecting my personal information, location data, driving data and vehicle health data without me activating the service. Safety Connect uses your vehicle’s Location Data, or “vehicle location” (your vehicle’s latitude and longitude) to determine where your vehicle needs assistance, your Personal Information (such as your name, address, phone number, email address, etc.) to verify your account, and your Voice Recordings (when you call our Response Center) for quality assurance. Your vehicle’s Safety Connect feature provides roadside and emergency assistance, automatic collision notifications, stolen vehicle assistance and accident advisory services.

If you do not deactivate Connected Services, you specifically consent to our electronic collection and use of your personal information and vehicle data and our storage of such data wherever we designate. You may deactivate Connected Services at any time by contacting us and we will no longer collect your Personal Information, Location Data, Driving Data and Vehicle Health Data. When you lease or buy a vehicle equipped with Connected Services, data collection is active.
