You got This Complementary Feature When You Bought Your Toyota (But You’re Probably Not Using It)
Let’s play out a little scenario...
You walk out of Woolies. Coffee in one hand. Your keys in the other.
You get to your car...
And it’s gone.
Your heart’s pounding, your mind’s racing—and in that moment of panic, you forget that the answer is already sitting in your pocket.
Because if you’re a Toyota owner…
Chances are, you’ve already got one of the most advanced location, safety and emergency systems on the market.
You just haven’t switched it on yet.
It’s called the myToyota app, and it comes complimentary with most new Toyota vehicles for the first three years.
No extra downloads. No third-party tech. Just a tap-and-go control panel for your car’s most important features.
Lost car? Tracked.
Breakdown in the middle of nowhere? Emergency help on the way.
Not sure where your kid took your car last night? We’ve got you covered.
It’s powerful. It’s already built-in.
And for the first few years of ownership—it’s completely free.
But if you’re not using it...
You might as well have left it in the glovebox with the old sunglasses and leaking serviettes.
Let’s show you how to actually use what you’ve already got.
So… What Is the myToyota App?
Think of the myToyota app like a remote control for your car that fits in your pocket.
It connects directly to your Toyota and gives you live access to essential features and vehicle info—without having to be behind the wheel.
And we’re not talking gimmicks here.
We’re talking real-time vehicle location. Service booking. Fuel level monitoring. Emergency SOS. Crash detection. And a digital glovebox full of service history, manuals, and notifications—ready whenever you are.
Best part is, if you bought your Toyota brand-new, chances are you already have access to all of this right now, for free. Most Toyota models come with a 3-year complimentary subscription to Connected Services, which means you’re covered from the second you drive off the lot.
But after that 3-year window?
It becomes a paid subscription. That’s why it’s worth activating now—so you can get the most out of it while it’s still free.
Key Features That Make It Worth Using (Every Single Day)
Alright—let’s get into what this thing can actually do.
Vehicle Locator
Can’t find your car in a busy carpark? Parked in a new area and forgot which street it’s on?
With the app’s vehicle locator, you’ll always know exactly where your Toyota is. No more wandering around like you’re in a real-life game of “Where’s Wally?”
Automatic Collision Notification
If your airbag deploys in an accident, the app kicks into gear. It sends a signal to a 24/7 response centre—giving them your location and helping coordinate emergency services if needed.
Even if you’re unable to call for help yourself, someone’s already on it.
SOS Emergency Call
Breakdown on a dark road? Feeling unsafe?
With just a tap, you can send an emergency signal and speak directly with a support team.
It’s like having a personal lifeline, built into your car.
Remote Lock & Unlock
Ever rushed into the house with groceries and realised you left the car unlocked?
With the myToyota app, you can lock or unlock your car from anywhere. You don’t need to go back outside. You don’t even need to be nearby. Just open the app and tap the button.
Digital Glovebox
Manuals. Service history. Maintenance reminders. It’s all there—digitally stored and easy to access.
No more flipping through old papers or trying to find that random receipt from your last service.
Who Can Use It?
The myToyota app is only for Toyota owners—and it’s tailored to match your specific model.
If you’ve got a connected Toyota vehicle from recent years, chances are you ’re eligible for the 3-year complimentary Connected Services period.
After that, you’ll get the option to subscribe if you want to continue using those features.

How Easy Is It to Set Up?
Short answer? Super easy.
Download the myToyota app from the App Store or Google Play.
Create your account using the same email tied to your vehicle purchase.
Enter your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to connect your car.
That’s it—you’re in.
Most people are fully set up in under 5 minutes. No dealership visits. No paperwork. No digging through complicated menus.

Why Bother?
We get it. Life’s busy. You’ve got 57 other apps on your phone and the last thing you want is one more thing to “manage.”
But here’s the thing—this one’s worth using.
Because it’s not about bells and whistles. It’s about security, peace of mind, and control.
It’s about knowing where your car is, how it’s doing, and what it needs—all in the palm of your hand.
And while some other car brands are only just starting to add these kinds of features, Toyota’s already been refining this system for years.
What Happens After the 3 Years?
Once your complimentary period ends (typically 3 years from the date of delivery), you’ll get the option to continue your subscription.
Think of it like renewing your phone plan. You’re not forced to continue—but once you’ve had it, it’s hard to go without.
And honestly? For the safety, convenience, and control it gives you—it’s one of the most valuable subscriptions you’ll own.

Final Thoughts
If you drive a Toyota, and you’re not using the myToyota app—you’re leaving real value on the table.
This isn’t just tech for the sake of tech.
It’s a smart tool, already paid for, already installed, and already waiting for you to use it. And it just might save your bacon in a moment you didn’t expect.
So don’t let it go to waste.
Set it up. Explore it. Use it.
You’ll wonder how you ever drove without it.
But if you don’t have a Toyota yet but are seriously considering one, come get yours from Llewellyn Toyota.
