yeah, good luck with that. Some states are implementing new rules for vehicle emission checks. Once you mess with the car in any way, the system will throw a code and when DMV plugs your car in, it will cause you to fail emission. I call it emission but it will move way beyond that. People will need to let their dealers know and walk away. Once people start keeping their old cars and fixing them for a second life, this shit will stop.
IT IS true! I saw this through multiple new outlets online. They can't all be lying and if indeed Toyota has NOT done this, there would be strong statements from the company.
Your theory makes sense but If Sharpton canāt be bought why hasnāt he opened his big mouth yet? Also, recently when the very highest government official was questioned about high gas prices he responded with ā buy an electric carā
My first thought is I don't want that service. But I will tell you my experience with Onstar.
I had not seen that before. I can understand some people liking and wanting those features and do see a somewhat benefit as well in certain emergency situations when out off grid but I wish there was a way to have both. All of that data collecting equipment as a plug in option no different than a winch or off road lights so I would be able to only have it in use when I want it too and not continuously collecting data, my driving habits and places that I visit when itās not in use.
I donāt just accept everything as truth. And with this channel, he is someone who I am familiar with and has never seemed to be making things up. But more importantly, he sites sources that anyone can also look up too, including sources from the auto manufacturers as well. So as much as I wish this video made was unfactual, sadly it is not!
This makes perfect sense. Your description of how the app works is a service. In order for that service to work, Toyota has to maintain IT infrastructure to make it work. And as you say, the remote start from the FOB will still work as long as you are in range, even if you decline the app service. This makes perfect sense.
I got that same email. But I thought it was a lot more money. Something like $450.00. And that was discounted from $600.00 or $700.00. No thanks. I know every place that I plan on going. And my Dad was a long distance truck driver. I was taught and shown from birth how to get back on track if there was a detour for any reason. Ironically, before my Dad passed away last year he was a living Mapquest! Anytime any of my family or friends went somewhere they would call my Dad. He could give them step by step instructions to just about anywhere, by memory, along with numerous routes for scenic, best time savings, points of interest and so on. Even in 1999 when my band was on tour. There was a detour in Salt Lake City and our bus driver was unsure how to get to where we needed to go. I told him to call my Dad. At first he laughed and didnāt take what I said serious. That is until he called my Dad! My Dad then gave him step by step instructions of numerous way by memory of how to get us back on track, places to stop, best places to easily drive a tour bus in, diesel fuel stops etc.. When I saw my bus driver at the pay phone getting notebook paper out from his bag and taking lots of notes I started laughing because I instantly knew who he was talking to and had finally taken my advice and called my Dad. After the phone call he told me he had called the bus leasing company to get directions but they were not any help because they were unsure of where exactly we were in Salt Lake City. He then called my Dad, gave my Dad some landmarks and last known locations since it was getting dark and my Dad helped him out in far more detail than he had ever been given before. I laughed and told him my Dad was literally a human map on the United States and a majority of Canada and people normally didnāt believe me until they would get lost and call my Dad. And from then on, he was always their go to guy for any trip!
That was the deciding factor in me getting my JLUR. I had been a Toyota Tacoma guy since 1997 and had gotten an amazing deal on both of my Tacomas for invoice on the first one and then under invoice on the second one even though it was a 2007 TRD Off Road. This time around I was going to go with a TRD Off Road Pro or a JLUR. No dealership would come off MSRP on the Tacoma, unless it was an Off Road, but not an Off Road Pro. And even then the amount would not be at invoice. My local Jeep dealership wanted my business, wanted to come on as a sponsor of my YouTube channel and even offered to do invoice deals to anyone who I referred except for the 392 after it came out but if referred by me they will sell for them for under MSRP. But with my JLUR, the MSRP on it came out to be I think $58,235.00 with an invoice of $56,929.00 but they sold it to me for $53,205.00. They wanted my business more and I decided that it was time to become a Jeep person. And now, I totally love my Jeep!
Charging for navigation map updates make sense. Jeep/Stellantis don't own the Navigation system, they license it for a cost. If you want your maps updated you'll have to pay the piper. I agree that $149 is pretty steep, especially when you can just use Google/Apple maps with Android Auto/Apple Car Play.
Phone app based functionality requires back end IT infrastructure to work. That costs money.
I wouldn't have a problem with it if that were true, but according to that Toyota article:
