Toyota Connected - anyone subscribe?

[av8tor]

Just curious as to if anyone has subscribed to Toyota connected. My one year free subscription is about to expire and I really wasn’t sure if I should subscribe.
$15.00 a month….is it worth it ?

I’m still in the free zone but plan on subscribing when the time comes. The app has been super helpful to me even at its low level of sophistication. Bought my truck at the end of August 2025.

I subscribe, mainly because I like pre-heating the truck in the morning, but there are other features I like too.

I would do $15 a year but $180 a year is ridiculous. So no, I do not subscribe to it.

I subscribe for the remote start function. It would be nice if it were included in the price of the truck but Toyota knows how to make money. On the other hand, I know how to spend money and it’s only 15 clams a month. I’m doing well enough in life that I got that kind of cash.

Can’t you remote start with the keyfob? That’s how I remote start my truck.

I let it all expire. Dont even care for the remote start via the app. Not a fan of this subscription nonsense. These features should be baked into the vehicle, not designed to drain your wallet monthly, nickel and dime you to death.

Same here. My only concern is the annoyance of the blue screen before the Apple CarPlay kicking on the infotainment screen.

I dont use a fob. I have a key card in my wallet and Toyota didn’t put any buttons on it so I use the app.

I will be subscribing for the remote start. 9You can use the FOB but my work parking is too far for it, or any other remote start to work without LTE.

Alot of whiners will say it's supposed to be "baked in", but LTE isn't free to Toyota. AT&T/VERIZON/T-MOBILE all charge to use their towers. For that matter neither is App maintenance, continuous updates for security and compatibility for new phones or the multitude of different versions of android and IOS. Almost everyone charges for LTE based features, every aftermarket company does and pricing at $15/month is industry standard.

People complain and call it a subscription for "features the car already has" and compare to BMW or other car makers requiring subscriptions for heated seats are just ignorant.

lol. I have the key card in my drawer that I’ve never use and my keyfob that is more useful and free to remote start the truck. Everyone has different priorities or preferences I guess. Carry on

 

[tgrneal]

I paid and will continue to pay. I wish the app had more like the ability to pay yearly
