If you’re a driver who loves to stay connected, then the multimedia system in your vehicle is an important factor to consider when you are shopping for a new car. At your Toyota dealer, you will find that all new models are equipped with a Toyota infotainment system, which combines connectivity and connected services into a single system.

Whether you have a 2024 Grand Highlander with a 12.3-inch multimedia screen or a 2024 Corolla with an eight-inch multimedia screen, you can expect the touchscreen interface for your infotainment system to be highly responsive. These HD screens are crafted to eliminate glare from the sun or interior lights, so you can see your multimedia settings at any angle during any time of day. 

For most 2024 Toyota models, a 30-day trial for an AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot is a standard feature that can keep you connected on the go, even when mobile data is spotty. Other standard multimedia features include:

Wireless Android Auto

Wireless Android Auto allows you to integrate certain smartphone features with your Toyota vehicle for the ultimate hands-free experience when you test or send a call. When your phone is connected to your Toyota, you can also access apps through your device, such as music streaming, podcasts, and navigation. You can even use voice commands with Google Assistant to check on the weather.

Wireless Apple CarPlay

Wireless Apple CarPlay is another smartphone-integrated feature you can use to access your favorite or most useful Apple apps. For example, when your iPhone is wirelessly connected to your car and Siri is enabled, you can open the Maps app to sketch the best route to your destination. If you drive an EV like the 2024 bZ4X, then you can even prompt the Maps app to pinpoint EV-friendly routes. 

Connected Services Trials

Your Toyota multimedia system also comes with 10-year trials for Safety Connect and Service Connect features. Some models may have a one-year trial for Drive Connect, which includes features like cloud-based navigation and Destination Assist. A one-year trial for Remote Connect with a Digital Key is also standard for many 2024 models, although the Digital Key may be optional.

Safety Connect services keep you safe on the road in emergency situations with features like an SOS emergency assistance button and an automatic collision notification that contacts emergency services if you’re ever in an accident. Key features for Service Connect include vehicle health reports, vehicle maintenance reminders, and other services that simplify your car ownership tasks. 

Advanced connectivity and multimedia technology can make your new Toyota more entertaining and more convenient. See how these infotainment features work when you visit Toyota of Kingsport in Kingsport, TN.
