Default Display - Can it be changed

[brumey]

I have the SR5 with the 8" display. It seems to go to the Get Connected screen each time it's used. I refuse to pay Toyota for services I don't need. When I need a GPS, I use Car Play but may times, I just want to get in a drive. I would like to control the default screen or mode its on and not have the Get Connected screen. Yes, I can press a button to change to the useless trip information which is better that looking at the get connected screen.

Has anyone found a workaround for this? I have Carista.

I was thinking about permanently connecting an older iPhone so it always goes to that screen but that seems a waste.

Thank you.

Infotainment manual 2.6 Screen settings. (Assume this is the same on the SR5 even though the screen is smaller):
1 Touch [ ] from the main menu.
2 Touch [Display] on the submenu.
3 Select the desired item.
Display:
Set whether to turn the screen
display on or off. If the screen
is turned off, nothing will be displayed
on the screen and only
audio will be played.
To display the screen again,
touch the screen and touch
the button in the center of the
screen.

I have the same issue with my iForce TRD Off Road. The startup display sometimes is Apple CarPlay and sometimes the Get Connected screen. I am not finding anything in the settings that gives an option of a default start screen, and I don't expect it either. But I am keeping an eye on this thread.

It's like having a forced Ad for Toyota's connected services all the time. I really think Toyota missed it on the 8" and 14" displays in terms of content.

I am not clear why you are getting this--once I connected my phone on my ORP I have never gotten the "Get connected" screen. Sounds like it is not automatically reconnecting. If it has to do with connected services (not just your phone), you get those for free for at least a couple years anyway.

Sometimes I do not connect my phone. Also, the SR5 does NOT have free Drive Connect. So, it always defaults to the sign up screen. Dumb and not well thought out.
