Why does it require a subscription? Do you not see all the new car competition? I'm very happy to see Toyota finally upgrading their Infotainment system but let's get real, it's still FAR behind its competition. Making owners to PAY for these features is silly. Should've just eaten the cost and to play catch-up. Now you just wasted your R&D with no real revenue streams added. Some will subscribe until they learn how to use their mobile phones properly.
I should have done more research before I bought my first Toyota. My 2015 Ford Escape had an awesome GPS system and you could save your favorite destinations WITHOUT a subscription. I also liked the split screen much better in the Escape than this Toyota. It was easier to search and save Sirius stations that you liked as well. I'm not impressed with this at all and I just purchased a 2023 Rav4 Limited a few days ago.
If I still need to connect to my phone in order for it to work, why don't I just use the Android Auto or Apple CarPlay?! Why should I pay a monthly fee to sue the redundant Toyota Cloud Navigation?
I have a Rav with Cloud Navigation. Why does it make me go to a dealer to update the map. When I select, it tells me to see the dealer. I shouldn't have to pay for a cloud update.
We are driving a 2022 Tacoma now and planned on buying a Tundra Platinum in January. Our Navi in the Taco is plagued with wrong routes, but the idea of spending a fair amount of money for the Tundra and having to pay a monthly fee for the Navi is ridiculous. We will now purchase a GMC Denali is spring, which we had previuosly and loved the Navi. Wanted the Tundra due to build quality but having their hands in my pocket every month, no thanks.
Yeah wish i knew then what i know now. Left my 2022 Mazda for 2024 Rav. I regret it now. Mazda navigation one time fee lasts for yrs. Infotainment system much better. I didn't mind the the dial i now actually miss it. Toyota nickel and diming everyone. Have to pay for wifi, lock and unlock features once trial ends, navigation sucks 😞
I just git a 2023 Toyota Corolla hybrid and my idk how to get started. I can’t make it last The subscription section. The screen is purple and it says subscribe and it leads to the toyota app. I’ve been going in circles and nothing works

Sami is correct. The navigation of the media center is terrible. When I want to listen to Serius radio the system keeps trying to play a podcast off my phone. The media screen gets locked and becomes unresponsive in the map loading screen only way to get out of it is turn the radio off and back on. The Serius radio screen shows all your favorite channels not the one your listening too so you can't see what channel it is. I have taken my tundra back to the dealer and no one at the dealership knows how the system works so I have a appointment next week to bring it in so they can troubleshoot the unresponsive screen that comes up. My 2012 tacoma had a way better media system.
Hi Toyota USA, is there an option to use the navigation without a subscription and without connecting to my cellphone? i bought a 2023 rav4 and didnt have time to ask the dealer about this. when i try to use the gps, it asks me to subscribe. is just a registration required or i actually need to pay to use the GPS in my new car????
Hi, there! We know how important your RAV4 is to you. While we understand your inquiry, so we are in the best position to assist you, we kindly request you to please call the Brand Engagement Center at 1-800-331-4331.
2023 RAV4 XLE. I won't subscribe to anything. I'll stick my Garmin GPS on the windshield before I'd do that. Where can I plug in a map card? And don't get me started with friggin' apps. My phone is de-googled. I don't have data. I tore out the $0.10 dash speakers and replaced with Infinity. Now my ears don't ring. I'm training myself to hit the A-OFF button whenever I know a light is changing soon and don't want the engine to cycle off and jump. Mileage is improving as I baby the accelerator. That's a bonus. Fun to drive, although 8 gears is silly. I'm going to coat the underside with goop to prevent rust. Hope it lasts a while.
I would like a free on board navigation software for my 2024 camry or I may just pay it off and sell it back to them at some point. It is annoying me that I traded my 2013 camry for a non functional navigation. I should have told them it is a deal breaker. Also my screen glitches out when listening to music it will play with no sound. I then need to turn off the power on the tablet of car and turn back on to get the sound back. Another annoyance.
Love how the future works for Toyota multimedia was a needed upgrade and from first glance you guys nailed it, easy UI and modern design. I just bought a 2021 corolla touring sports hybrid and it's my first Toyota car and I love it!
So far, from my own research, I have only found THREE upcoming vehicles that will have this, The Tundra, Sequoia and bZ4x…. Hope that the interior of the 2023 RAV4 prime gets a refresh with a new infotainment center with this software!!!
Ha, 3 months later, and Toyota in fact did announce that the 2023 RAV4 lineup would get the new infotainment center with these updates! Oh, and the Corolla line up.
I just purchased a 2023 Highlander Hybrid. The cloud navigation is way off when trying to use the calibrate function. I live about half way dow the block and it shows my home at the intersection. This cloud system is not user. Friendly at all trying to find a location or to save a location is there or four step process with no help on screen. With a 12.3 screen a side bar that could be open with a address book, Favorite address. Add new addresses would be nice. I know just use the car play or Google maps. But that also messes with other function I would rather have displayed.

Apple and Google maps is already available on every phone, I want my car to have satellite GPS for when I'm in rural areas or off-roading. What a deal-breaker this was for me. No way I would pay for that either after the 1st year trial period.
I just traded in my 2018 TRD SPORT 4x4 for a 2023 TRD SPORT 4x4. I always loved Tacoma. But I’m very disappointed and frustrated. I feel this will be my last Tacoma, and Toyota in general. After paying close to 50k for the truck you don’t have GPS unless you connect to the USB or pay another few thousand for the package. If your phone dies in the middle of a trip on a back road or in a highway YOU ARE DONE AND LOST just like I was. My 2018 sport had a standard navigation for when my phone was unavailable, but this 47k truck is a joke. The quality control is also diving to a lower standard. I had a truck for a week and it already on service center due to window seal coming of and a 1/4 of inch gap on the front bumper.

@@toyotausa That is just a waste of time calling in. I have the same problem, when I called the answer was that my 2023 Tacoma with a tag price of 45k simple does not have a standard gps or wt Toyota call is it a technology package. So we have to use usb for maps and gps which depends on cell towers. So make sure you only drive your nice new car in a are with good signal
Why isn't it not made in a way that learns from what car cameras see. For example, speed limit signs that it reads with RCA ( may be wrong about the abbreviate) could be added to the map. Also, after it already has them IT SHOULD prepare you with an early warning.
Hello, Chris! To inquire about any possible navigation updates for your '20 4Runner, we suggest reaching out to your local dealership's service team. Thank you for your inquiry. ^BP
Requires paid subscription so this is a DOWNGRADE from previous system. We had a map available all the time in our Prius but now the system is beyond reach. Buggy Toyota app doesn't even list navigation of any kind in the list of "services" you are expected to pay for. Better to remove the screen in the car than provide a huge screen that presents nothing of interest UNLESS you buy a LOT of subscriptions. Never buying Toyota again. Will go with Kia. Thanks for garbage.
If Toyota top managers have any sense of decency and integrity, they will offer a way to convert way finding system they now gouge us for to a free one.
So... $180/year for the same functionality my phone provides for free? Toyota seems pretty greedy so far. I don't even seem to have the option for a trial nav service on my new 2024 Tacoma.
I liked the one in my 2020 Highlander MUCH better. It had more options, larger print and icons, SPLIT SCREEN, etc. I hope Toyota will keep updating and adding new features to make it better. I can't even add a NAME to an address...no way to edit. Toyota, you can do better!
I have been driving Toyotas for almost 20 years and love them, but I m not happy I have to pay for this navigation. i will be cancelling the monthly fee to pay when I can use my phone for free. Such a bad move by Toyota. I didn't realize I had to pay for it until after I bought a new 2023. I used the navigatin a few ties and its just not good and the voice is terrible on it. Can you at least change the Audio ???

PAying for the information by making a trial period is absurd and I refuse to do it.

maybe you dont have your phone with you, broken phone, loses all battery, or a guest is driving your car
Bingo. Nailed it, why pay for something you already have?
You now have to pay for any features in the system to work. This is not free to use.

$20 a month for what amounts to google maps? Maybe Toyota should consider a tiered version
I have this on the new Toyota Corolla 2022 and it’s brilliant

I like Mazda navigation. Buy sim card and insert. Simple as that! WiFi is not reliable I ended up cancelling mine.
How much does this cost
Great question. I’ve seen plans for $15-25 a month. Have no idea why anyone would pay for navigation which most have on their cell.
Why advertise this if the 2020's aren't getting the update?
To somehow convince you to get a new generation car
Just be glad you did’t buy a Ford I have a 2021 and the OTA is junk and local Ford has no ideal how to fix it. Hope that Toyota has a better record
So... $180/year for the same functionality my phone provides for free? Toyota seems pretty greedy so far. I don't even seem to have the option for a trial nav service on my new 2024 Tacoma.

It uses AT&T, and it sucks. Not paying for something is not reliable . They need to follow Mazda and use a sim card for navigation
I use my phone instead. Thanks for the subscription scam
