Which models does the Toyota app work with?
In short, the Toyota app works with most newer Toyota vehicles that have Toyota Connected Services enabled, typically model year 2018 and newer. Older Toyotas without built‑in connected services aren’t supported, and regional availability can affect exact compatibility. This article breaks down what to expect and how to check your specific vehicle.
General compatibility snapshot
The app connects to vehicles via Toyota Connected Services. Eligibility depends on having the service activated (Remote Connect or Service Connect) and availability in your country. Not all trims or markets offer every feature, and Lexus models use a separate app ecosystem.
Commonly compatible models and years include the following categories:
- Most 2018 model year and newer Toyota vehicles equipped with Toyota Connected Services
- Popular current-generation models such as Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Highlander, Prius, and Sienna
- Other mainstream models such as 4Runner, Sequoia, Tacoma and Tundra when they have the connected services hardware and an active plan
Note: This is a general guide. The exact list for your region and trim may differ. Check your vehicle’s spec sheet or consult your Toyota dealer for confirmation.
How to verify compatibility for your vehicle
To confirm whether your specific vehicle supports the Toyota app, follow these steps:
- Open the Toyota app on your smartphone and sign in with your Toyota account, or create one if you don’t have one.
- Add your vehicle by VIN or by selecting your model from the app’s vehicle list.
- Check the Connected Services status in the app settings or on your vehicle’s multimedia display to confirm that Remote Connect/Service Connect is active.
- If you don’t see compatibility, contact your dealer or Toyota support to enable or activate the Connected Services on your vehicle.
Once compatibility is confirmed and the services are activated, you can use the app to access features like remote start, vehicle location, check diagnostics, and service reminders (subject to service plan and market availability).
Regional availability and notes
Regional availability varies by market. In some regions, the Toyota app’s remote features require a paid subscription after any trial period. Lexus owners use a different app and are not supported by the Toyota app. Availability and features can differ by country, model year, and trim.
- United States and Canada: Remote Connect/Service Connect features are supported on eligible 2018+ models with an active connected services plan.
- Europe and other regions: Availability varies by country and may require regional subscriptions.
For the most accurate list, refer to the official Toyota Owners site or contact your dealer, as compatibility can change with updates and new model releases.
Summary
The Toyota app is designed to work with Toyota’s newer-generation vehicles that feature Toyota Connected Services, typically model year 2018 and newer. Availability depends on region, trim, and an active service plan. Always verify your exact model and region through official Toyota resources or a dealership to ensure support for your vehicle.
