- [Narrator] Audio Multimedia is Toyota's name
for its vehicle entertainment and information platform.
With its user-friendly touchscreen interface
and advanced connectivity, Audio Multimedia represents
the cutting edge of infotainment.
Its wide range of features
are offered across three system levels:
the base Audio, the mid-tier Audio Plus,
and the top-tier Premium Audio.
These systems offer audio playback,
mobile device connectivity,
navigation, apps and so much more.
Let's get to know Toyota's Audio Multimedia a little better.
Audio Multimedia's user interface
includes a central touchscreen, surrounding buttons,
steering wheel controls,
and even a microphone for voice recognition.
For the most part, the system structure can be understood
through three key screens, Home, Menu and Setup.
Home is a customizable screen that can present
up to four tiles of live content.
These act like widgets for their respective features,
and so tapping them will send them full screen
for additional interaction.
Once you're done, the system will return
to the home screen arrangement after a moment,
or you can simply press Home.
Menu serves as a more general directory
to the system's various features,
with buttons that can include Audio, Phone, Apps and Info,
as well as Setup for system settings.
And within this Setup area, a vast range of adjustments
can be made to features throughout the system.
For instance, you can personalize
the home screen tile layout, customize audio levels,
manage Bluetooth devices,
change the clock and language settings and much more.

At their core, Toyota's Audio Multimedia systems
are still designed to play audio,
including AM, FM and HD broadcast radio,
SiriusXM with a 3-month All Access trial subscription,
compatible third-party music apps,
Bluetooth or USB playback from a mobile device,
and even in-dash CD playback on select models.
Regardless of source,
audio playback is controlled directly
through the Audio Multimedia system controls.
And some of the top-tier systems
also feature available JBL speaker sets
that are tailored to fit the vehicle's exact cabin layout,
with a dedicated amplifier,
and of course, a subwoofer for extra bass.
In addition, every Toyota model offers compatibility
for Apple CarPlay, which allows drivers to connect an iPhone
and access Apple Music, Maps, Messages,
and other favorite apps on the touchscreen.
And almost every model
also offers Android Auto compatibility,
which lets drivers connect an Android device with ease.
Plus, Toyota's own Entune 3.0 App Suite
is now incorporated into the Toyota app,
so connected devices can access Audio Multimedia's
wide variety of first-party features from a single app.
Finally, every Audio Multimedia system
comes standard with Bluetooth functionality,
so it's easy to connect mobile devices wirelessly
for phone calls, music streaming and more.

As the defining feature
of the available Premium Audio system level,
Dynamic Navigation uses real-time data updates
to deliver the latest maps, routes and points of interest.
This feature works together with Destination Assist
which connects the vehicle to a 24-hour live operator
who can help find a location
and send route information straight to the vehicle.
But of course, all systems can also access
connected navigation apps
simply by using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Depending on the system,
Audio Multimedia can also include trials
to Toyota's range of available Connected Services,
features that work with an external network
to open up a wide range of possibilities.
For example, Safety Connect keeps the vehicle connected
to Toyota's response center,
providing an automatic collision notification,
Emergency Assistance, Roadside Assistance,
and Stolen Vehicle Locator.
And Wi-Fi Connect transforms the vehicle
into a Wi-Fi hotspot that allows up to five devices
to access cellular data simultaneously.
Next, Service Connect can send vehicle health reports
and alerts to keep both dealer and driver
on top of the vehicle's maintenance needs.
Finally, Remote Connect lets owners control
certain vehicle functions from a mobile device
and even set limits for guest drivers.
While certain aspects of these features
can be adjusted in the Setup menu,
the Toyota app is the primary method
for managing Connected Services.
This also means the vehicle must be registered
and linked via the Toyota app to use these services.
So that's a quick overview
of Toyota's Audio Multimedia systems.
