Can you explain the hotspot feature? Is it worth the subscription

It makes your car a wifi router basically and is useful if you frequent areas with no service or if you work remotely. I personally don’t use it because I don’t use technology when I’m in remote areas.

Also it’s paid via third party supplier like AT&T

@@brianruperti thanks. I did sight up for it because our data slows down after 20 gb. My husband uses his quick listening to podcasts etc going to work

Thanks! Yes you can fine tune the CarPlay system to only port over maps and not port over messages or contacts. It’s in your phone settings.

Thanks for watching! Glad to help

@@brianruperti I'm presuming that you don't see all those apps unless you hook your phone in through the USB port? I've got an Android phone, version 13, and when I hook up Android Auto it seems to handle stuff differently. I just like to play the audio from my RU-vid and other apps through the speakers on the vehicle.

Yes, however if you connect to Bluetooth you should also be able to run music via Bluetooth alone as well.

@@brianruperti I've been able to connect by Bluetooth and play the audio from RU-vid and from twitch. But the biggest aggravation, is that sometimes the system just blanks out in the middle and the Bluetooth will switch back to my earpiece, or not at all. All my software is updated. But your video was a great help Tell me what all the buttons did. Now, do you have a video explaining where all of the sensors are located on the outside of the vehicle? The high low automatic headlights, the radar for cruise control the blind spot monitoring, etc?

Sorry to hear that but glad I was able to help in some way. I don’t have a dedicated video but the camera is in the front windshield and the collision sensor is inside the front emblem or right below it.

Hi my pleasure. Front or rear passenger?

Thank you. Basic settings exist when dynamic camera is on the vehicle. No audio for BSM and for getting close audio only occurs when equipped with parking sonar.

Thanks. iPod would probably be a converter to usb. No apps needed.

For parking sonar?

Yes I can’t wait to see a new one

@@brianruperti Totally agreed! What do you think about the new engine, ride quality, wind nose? Thanks!

New engine is fine for what the Highlander is made to do. I’m biased towards V6 power. Ride quality was great just like 2022. Wind noise is not bad at all. Quiet to me.

@@brianruperti Thank you! Awaiting for the 12"3 infotainment video pls! Thank you!

This is the 12.3 video!

Thanks! Not yet

You’re welcome. They don’t

Yes I noticed this. I’m still trying to figure that out.

Thank you! Not sure why it would do that sorry!

Yes that button should be near the shifter. Please see the buttons near shifter chapter

yes i know of this, but was wondering if theres a way to stop this feature permanently since its just an annoyance, was really hoping this vehicle wouldnt of added this *sigh*@@brianruperti

Thank for watching. Did you try in the settings with the car in park?

@@brianruperti Yes.

I found out how but it's odd to me. When the voice from wherever is playing, hit the down volume button on the left side of the steering wheel.

Ahh thanks for sharing

Yes when I have time! Thanks for asking

Contact a Toyota dealer that will Answer you calls. Sorry to hear this.

Either hold your hand on the driver door handle for 4 seconds, or just open the front passenger door, or go to settings and vehicle customize to set the 4 door unlock as default.

Sorry not sure why it does that

Thanks! FaceTime wouldn’t work on CarPlay because the truck monitor doesn’t have a camera. Yet 😏

Thank you Brian

You’re welcome

Yes in the next video I will I believe that can be adjusted in your settings on the CarPlay settings app

Thank you!

Can one of you elaborate on what the AUTO button does on the left temp dial? Since there’s no Max AC button anywhere, does this cover that function?

@@laurensutton3016 Yes... sort of. First, the obvious... "Auto" will tell the system to detect the outside temp, the inside temp, and the sunshine brightness coming through the front windshield to determine how to adjust the temperature of the heater/AC air, the fan speed, the source of the air (outside or recirculate), and the flow/direction of the air (dash vents, floor vents, defrost vents, or a mix of those) to achieve the temperature you set with the three dials (driver, front passenger, rear passenger). Note that it will also delay the initial air movement after starting your engine, until the engine warms up enough for heat, or for the air conditioning compressor to produce enough cold air to be useful, so you don't get blasted with damp, un-conditioned air. As far as "Max Air", I have a Mustang with that button, which forces the air source to "recirculate" and keeps the compressor ratio to "fully on" to give you the coldest possible air. The "auto" button on the Highlander will make those choices for you if you turn the temp all the way down to "LO" in "auto", the coldest setting. Note also, that the Highlander will attempt to make you comfortable with as little noise as possible. Plus, you can manually set the fan speed or air ducts at any time which will extinguish the "auto" light. However, I have found that "auto" works very well, runs smooth and quietly, and uses less gasoline than using any manual control. Plus, if you drive into a tunnel in the summer time, the fan will slow down because there is no sunshine to keep you warmed up. One more thing... if you select "ECO" on the center console for driving more economically (as opposed to Sport or Normal), your air conditioner will take a little longer to cool you down, as that will save fuel. Hope that helps.

Hmm that’s strange. I would try disconnecting and reconnecting your account. If that doesn’t work, I’d stop by the dealer to have your sales person assist you.

Thank you! Check this out ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ILS1Y2DP7CY.html

Great question I don’t think you can adjust that. I could be wrong. But if you look at it right after shutting the engine and don’t open the door, it lasts longer.

Please see the brochure attached

Settings>meter settings>language/units

Does not change that one, just all the others.

All the others are in MPH and English

We don’t make those

Hey welcome to the family! If it has the option to fold separately, there would be a button on the door by the window switch with a little mirror symbol and a capital “A” for auto fold and you can push the button all the way down to fold now. I hope that helps.

@@brianruperti That's the ticket, Brian. Thanks very much.

Hope that helped

Coming very soon. It will be a hybrid PLT

Hello Not sure why phone call doesn’t play through speakers. Also car is designed to turn off after door opens for anti theft

Hello. Every time you turn the car off, the MID displays your trip economy for 20 seconds.

@@brianruperti thank you. is there a way to tell mpg for an entire trip that includes stops? Or a way for it not to reset the next time you start the car? Like a tripmeter that includes mpg?

@suechang1388 that’s called your tank average which is displayed in your MID

Yes 100% on the 2023

Yes you can

Oil pressure isn’t shown but coolant temp should be on bottom of the speedo

Yes it is a recovery system by Toyota. Called safety connect. www.toyota.com/connected-services/safetyconnect/

If you’re in CarPlay and hit the Home Screen button on the bottom left, you can split screen that way.

Interesting observation not sure yet

Yes you can change that on the integrated nav or CarPlay just hit the compass symbol. On the integrated nav I believe you have to change it in the nav settings

I know you hit the arrow button. But I want it to stay permanently.

Anyone to answer my question? Funny enough that my dealer couldnt answer my question
