Are you ‘entune’?

Did you know that when you purchase select Toyota models, like the 2012 Camry Hybrid XLE, you’ll get three years of complimentary access to mobile applications and services that most smartphones offer?

With Entune™, drivers’ ability to access their favorite mobile apps is just a click away. Simply connect the smartphone to the wireless, voice-recognition software, and you can be in tune with many favorite mobile apps, like Bing, iHeartRadio, OpenTable ®, MovieTickets.com, and Pandora. Users can also “entertune” themselves by accessing sports scores, getting updates on how their stocks are doing, checking traffic delays and weather, and comparing fuel prices.

This “infotainment” gadget is worth checking out once select 2012 models hit the Westboro Toyota showroom floor soon.

‘Backseat Driver’ app puts kids in the driver’s seat for roadway entertainment

Those of you who regularly read our blog or visit our website know that Westboro Toyota is all about technology – putting Live Pricing, online service and maintenance scheduling and Kelley Blue Book appraisals, to name a few, at your fingertips. We strive to make your buying and servicing experiences a smooth ride and now Toyota Motor Corp.’s ToyToyota is giving your passengers a creative way to enjoy their ride, too!

A new ToyToyota iPhone app lets kids simulate the driving experience from the backseat of your Camry, Pruis, Corolla, Rav 4, or other Toyota model. “Backseat Driver” gives iPhone users the chance to steer their vehicle (called “My Car”) clear of another one (called “Papa Car”), which uses the iPhone’s GPS functionality to mimic the route mom and dad are really taking in the front seat. Keeping a safe distant from Papa Car isn’t the only object of the game. Users also try and catch icons associated with the real-life landmarks they’re passing by. With the points earned from catching those icons, players can cash in to customize their cars. Players also can share their car designs and the routes they’ve traveled on Twitter.

And, while we’re on the subject of cars and kids, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Child Passenger Safety Week will take place September 18 – 24. Visit NHTSA for dates and locations in our area when certified child passenger safety technicians will be on hand to inspect car seats and provide hands-on advice free of charge.
