Toyota Supra Connect

This inconsistent app stopped working for about the tenth time in less than two years. Toyota Support claims they do not support the app anymore and now BMW supports it. I called BMW Assist and they told me Toyota supports it, not BMW. This app corrupts the iPhone OS every few months and it’s a hassle with Apple every time to get my iPhone working properly again. Toyota support at best is highly deceptive and time wasting. If you are at least of normal intelligence you should stay away from filth like this app. I finally got Toyota to support Supra Connect and they will only email me in 5 days with a support ticket to start the support process. It’s Friday and the weekend doesn’t count because they are closed so it will be a week until they might email me - that’s 7 freakin’ days. GARBAGE!!!!

This app lets you send navigation locations directly to the onboard navigation on the car. You can also lock and unlock the car remotely. Great for if you forgot the key since your house or office, you can just unlock on your phone. My favorite feature is being able to locate the car at any time. To make sure service techs or anyone else isn’t taking you car for a joy ride. Toyota doesn’t owe anyone any of these features, so it’s a nice to have.

I love the car but felt disappointed with the app. While the app has some useful features, I feel the app should have more. Remote start is missing. Sending information to the car like unlocking, locking, and sounding an alarm is a bit slow. It should be within seconds. The app also doesn’t show you whether the car is indeed locked or unlocked. I would like to nickname my car within the app. That would be a nice touch. What I do like is that the image of the car shows the exact color. For a car that cost nearly $60K, I expected more for the companion app. Fix these issues and this app would be Supra! I mean super. 3 stars for now. Will update as the app evolves.
