    My salesman orientation was merely helping pair the iPhone app with the Prius. Now when I try to connect, the app very briefly shows a text screen with something about setting an access code & Settings (phone or Prius?), then bricks on the Toyota splash page.
    Looks like I need the app for any remote operation like warm-up, or even setting my HOME location. Any guidance much appreciated. TIA Don

    The Toyota App is much better than it was even a few years ago. I would install it on a Smartphone. I recently found out via the app my '24 Limited has a recall campaign on the rear panoramic camera. Bringing it in next week for the inspection and if necessary a firmware update to fix.
