Question:<\/strong> I know there\u2019s a way to track my car from my phone, but I\u2019m not sure how to do it. How can I find my vehicle through the Toyota app?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer:<\/strong> If you\u2019re looking to track your vehicle with the Toyota app, being able to do so depends on the model of your car. The app works with select models from 2010 and on. In general, the Toyota app does not track your car\u2019s location while it is moving in drive mode. But the app has some features that allow you to locate your Toyota vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The app can be downloaded from the app store and can be used on both Android and Apple mobile devices\u2014smartphones, smartwatches and handheld tablets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once downloaded, you will need to set up your account. You also will need to enter in your car\u2019s VIN number to add your vehicle. The VIN number, also known as the Vehicle Identification Number, has 17 characters and can be found on your car insurance card, insurance policy, car title or inside of your car in various places. The most common place to find it is on the driver side\u2019s dashboard near the windshield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toyota\u2019s Connected Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You are required to get a paid subscription to Toyota\u2019s Connected Services to use the app\u2019s tracking features. Toyota\u2019s Connected Services works on select models. The subscription is available at different price points depending on which plan you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can determine if your model has access to Connected Services after you add your car with its VIN number within the app. Or you can speak to a Toyota representative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remote Connect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Remote Connect can locate where you last parked your car using GPS coordinates. The ignition must be turned off for this to work. If your vehicle was towed or moved after the ignition was turned off, the app cannot provide you with the new location details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are more limitations you need to be aware of when using this feature. For instance, if you left your car in a parking garage and forgot which floor you parked on, the app cannot determine which floor the car is located on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety Connect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the event your car is stolen, you can use the app\u2019s Safety Connect feature to help find your car if it is compatible.This feature works on select models built with an LTE network. On Nov. 1, 2022, Toyota discontinued Safety Connect on models that have 3G wireless so it only works on models built with newer wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your vehicle can have Safety Connect, here are some steps to follow if it gets stolen. First, you would need to contact the police and file a stolen vehicle report.Then, you need to contact Safety Connect\u2019s response center so a representative can help the police track your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety Connect will track your vehicle using GPS technology for a week. Once your vehicle is located, Safety Connect will report the car\u2019s whereabouts to the police. If a week goes by and your car is still not found, you can ask to track your car for another week. (To contact Safety Connect, call 1-800-331-4331.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your car is found, the police or a Toyota representative will contact you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature will not work if your car battery is dead or has been disconnected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
