Oh it was so terrible I gave up on it a week after using it.
Then it uninstalled itself from my app, presumably out of retaliatory spite for my rejection of its love.

Toyota is good at many things, new technology isn't one of them, and by new I mean new ten years ago ... it can't even remember the audio source half the times I restart my car, I'm not going to trust it to let me into my car and drive it with my phone.

So mine failed today on my 2026 trail Hunter that I've had in my possession for exactly 14 days. I was stranded at my office and had to get a ride home to get the key fob. I've opened a case with Toyota. How in the world are they allowed to sell this feature? I waited 90 days to get this particular vehicle for this exact feature. What a freaking joke.

Learned my lesson when it comes to Toyota and software. The number of the features on my wife's Rav4 don't work because Toyota stopped supporting their apps on the radio. Now when the fuel light comes on and the radio asks if it should list the best prices for gas near by it fails to work. I'm fine with switching to Android Auto and CarPlay on newer vehicles but to just stop supporting past versions is a dick move. So now I will not pay for any service like the digital key.
I've been happy with Toyota Drive Connect and Toyota Remote Connect (Go Anywhere). My complimentary 1 year subscription expired a month ago and now I'm paying $15/month.
