Toyota unveiled the Entune™ multimedia system today at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The new device leverages the customer’s mobile phone to create a rich in-vehicle experience that offers fully-integrated and upgradeable entertainment, navigation and information services.
According to the manufacturer, by utilizing conversational voice recognition and in-vehicle controls, the driver doesn’t have to touch their mobile phone, allowing for safer connectivity.
After downloading the Toyota Entune mobile application and pairing a Bluetooth-capable smartphone with their Toyota vehicle, customers can begin accessing a wide variety of personalized content and services like Bing, iheartradio, MovieTickets.com, OpenTable.com and Pandora. Obviously, the app selection will be entirely customizable.
The technology also comes with read-back and replay capabilities for text messages. These are combined with a fully-featured entertainment and communication system, which includes XM radio, USB connectivity and a phonebook, just to name a few features. A high-quality JBL sound system is available as well.
Toyota Entune will be available as an option on select models later this year, although the company has yet to identify which ones.
