Connected services rolled out with Toyota Hiace

Wouldn’t it be great to know where your car is, what its condition is, or when maintenance is due? Toyota believes a lot of buyers would want that. As such, it recently rolled out its newest suite of connected services called myTOYOTA Connect.

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) is rolling out this suite of services on the Hiace GL up to the Super Grandia variants retailing this month. Soon, more myTOYOTA Connect capable Toyota models equipped with a connected device will be announced in the market.

These connected services can be easily activated under a free introductory period and quickly accessed via TMP’s one-stop user companion — the myTOYOTA app available for Android and iOS users.

Stay connected to your Toyota

Accessing myTOYOTA Connect via the myTOYOTA app gives users access to a wealth of information including vehicle status, driving information to daily trip summaries. This allows for better management and maintenance of their vehicle or fleet. Tracking the vehicle will be easier thanks to the feature that shows the location of the vehicle even when the engine is off, making it possible to check the last location of your vehicle. On top of this, myTOYOTA Connect PH comes with a geofencing feature that sets an alert once your vehicle enters of leaves the designated zone or boundaries the user has set.

myTOYOTA Connect also allows user to get to know their vehicles better, making care and maintenance easier and more accurate. The service gives users on-the-dot reminders according to the actual mileage of the vehicle. This can allow user to schedule regular maintenance hassle-free and more timely. While on the myTOYOTA app, booking a service with the preferred dealership or service center is also a breeze.

That’s not all. myTOYOTA Connect also comes with the Connected Toyota Insure, with AXA Philippines as its exclusive insurance provider. This is the first PHYD (Pay How You Drive) insurance product that takes advantage of driving behavior and mileage captured from the connected vehicles to determine good drivers and have them benefit from a reduced renewal premium. This service provides security as it assures customer quality repair service in case of accident with full insurance coverage under the Toyota Insure Program and allows them to save with the discount on their renewal based on their good driving. On top of this, the service promotes safety as it encourages customers to drive safely.

“myTOYOTA Connect is yet another example of how TMP is determined to improve the Filipinos’ quality of life through technologically advanced mobility options and services,” said Atsuhiro Okamoto, president of TMP. “With myTOYOTA Connect, we are not just giving Toyota users the power to enjoy the best possible customer experience through access to life-changing innovations and practical information. We are also harnessing the power of data to continuously personalize and bring constant improvement in our level of service to our customers.”

myTOYOTA Connect is now available in Hiace variants equipped with the connected device and will soon be part of the RAV4’s improvements, which will be rolled out on November 24, 2022. Download myTOYOTA App to activate your free two-year subscription.
