What are the changes to Toyota’s Entune App Suite? Changes and updates to the Toyota Entune App Suite are due to a change in third party support. On November 13th, support of Pandora, OpenTable, and Facebook Places were discontinued. This impacts both the multimedia display that is in your car and the services that are on your smartphone app. If you have a Harman display unit in your vehicle, the icons for Pandora and Open Table will remain. While the icons will still be there, they will not be useful, as the only thing that will display is an error message. On all of the other displays affected by this change, the icons will no longer be on screen. If you prefer to use the app instead of the multimedia display, these icons will be gone entirely. All of the other facets of Toyota’s Entune will remain, making sure that you are connected to your car in the most seamless way.

When looking for a new vehicle, most people get wrapped up in  features that don’t really matter. Yes, having a lot of torque or horsepower may seem like a big deal, but unless you happen to be speed racing or doing dangerous stunts with your vehicle, you won’t be using those things at their maximum. What you will always want at its maximum, however, is safety. No matter how safe of a driver you are, accidents can happen at any time, and they usually do so at the most unexpected times. This is when you will want a vehicle that can come with a plethora of features meant to keep you as well as your passengers safe. Thankfully in this day and age of modern technology, there have been many advances that make driving safer and easier to do. Toyota has been known to be a brand that is both versatile as well as very adaptive, and with those traits, they have developed a safety system for their vehicles called Toyota Safety Sense. Designed with the common driver and passenger in mind, the Toyota Safety Sense system was meant to provide maximum protection on the road as well as in the inevitable event of a collision. So when it’s time for you to choose your next vehicle, whether it be for yourself or for your family, choose a vehicle offered from Team Toyota in Baton Rouge that is equipped with Toyota Safety Sense! Let’s get into a little more details about this intelligent safety system can keep the most important part of your vehicle- you and your passengers- safe! Toyota Safety Sense Features Like most technology systems, the Toyota Safety Sense system varies depending on the vehicle it is installed into. For the Toyota Safety Sense system, there are two types: the Toyota Safety Sense P (TSSP) and the Toyota Safety Sense C (TSSC). Midsize to larger vehicles would generally come with TSSP while the smaller, more compact vehicles would have TSSC. Both of these variants of the Toyota Safety Sense system provide premium protection to those inside of the vehicle as well as supply preventative measures against getting into a collision in the first place. The TSSC package is mainly a collaboration of three main features that use a camera as well as a laser to provide great performance and reliability to the vehicle it is equipped on. TSSP uses a combination of an in-vehicle camera and a millimeter-wave radar to enhance performance and functionality of the vehicle. Both packages of the Toyota Safety Sense System have a Pre-Collision System, Automatic High Beams, and Lane Departure Alerts.
