Poche comme le service de Ste-Foy Toyota

Cette option payé chèrement n’est vraiment pas fonctionnelle. La connexion plante constamment. Pas un matin j’ai réussi à avoir mon environnement intérieur chaud. On doit être à quelques pieds pour se connecter et dès qu’on s’éloigne, touts arrêt. Mon concessionnaire d’origine ne sait même pas comment ça fonctionne. J’ai l’impression d’être d’une autre planète…. Lâchez pas et continuez de mettre des étiquettes rouges…

Not enough info

The app and in-cabin heater are a great idea but the app barely gives you any information. It should tell you what the interior temperature of the vehicle is, and give you options for what temperature you want to use the heater at. I have no idea if it’s turning on every day in our garage or only at certain temperatures.

WiFi functionality would obviously be better than Bluetooth because you have to be standing so close to the vehicle to connect.

It’s also strange you can only pick two scheduled times so there is no flexibility for some of your days having different schedules.

Bluetooth connectivity

2022 Tacoma. App takes forever now, to connect. At time of writing 03 Feb 2024.

Connectivity

You have to be sitting in the vehicle to make the Bluetooth connection.

Needs fixing

I've got the latest iOS upgrade and the app now doesn't allow me to choose the length of warmup time. This is while we are in an extended cold snap. Poorly executed when previous version worked fine last winter.

Cannot connect

Unfortunately, we cannot connect to Bluetooth. Hopefully they’ll fix it asap. It’s cold!!

FIX IT PLEASE

cannot connect to my 2023 Toyota.

Unfortunate

If I knew I had to stand beside the truck for this app to work I would not have paid for this option. I have no idea if this even works

Not working app

Can’t pair the hub via Bluetooth. So how do I know the battery trickle charger is working and worth the money I paid for it .

Is anyone taking responsibility for this?

Good idea, terrible app.

Waste of $1000

Terrible app, paid extra for comfort plus and the app has worked once.

Not worth it!!!!

If it works you need to be within 20 feet of the vehicle for the Bluetooth to connect. As soon as you walk away it loses connection. Needs to be fixed. I expect much more from Toyota. Waste of money.

Poor app

Significant connectivity issues requiring multiple attempts and reboots to even form a connection. Should have option to start warming for a timed period (20min, etc.) rather than just on/off. Scheduling only useful for those with steady jobs, not shift work. Disappointed I invested in vehicle hardware since the program is effectively useless.

OK, with some flaws

Previously, in my pre-4Runner, I implemented a DIY version of Toyota’s Comfort+ system. So I came to this with some experiences…

I have opinions and thoughts about the hardware (also 3-star) which intrinsically impact the usability and satisfaction with the App.

Dislikes:

-Battery charger is “always on”. This app (and hardware!) should allow changing different technologies (flooded lead-acid, AGM, LiFePo), it should support de-sulphation, and it should support scheduling of the basic charger. None of the above :-(

-Block Heater and cabin heater are conjoined twins, never to be separated. They desperately need to be individually tailored, such as 2hr for block heater and 1hr only for in-cabin.

-The Bluetooth range is abysmal… you have to almost walk outside, halfway to the vehicle to get it to connect. The very thing you’re trying to avoid 😯

-there are an insufficient number of on/off times!!! Once per weekday / once per weekend…

-the automatic scheduling of a “Pick Up Time” does turn on the (engine+cabin) heat at the appropriate time, but it does not turn off!!! I have to manually turn it off *every morning*

-in the sister Toyota App, the section “My Garage => Manuals and Guides omits this Comfort+ App and guide. They have Multimedia and Keyfob manuals but not this Comfort+ ☹️

-in cold Canadian winter (-20 and below) both the block heater and cabin heater are inadequate. As most others are too.

-This App squawks and buzzes if you start the vehicle while it’s plugged in. But this is pretty much needed in cold weather to get *some* comfort. Quiet, please!

-you cannot preemptively plan ahead and set a new schedule. You *must* be connected to set or change anything! Really?

Likes:

-it does turn on (block + cabin heat) properly, with a timer

-in modest Canadian winter (-15C or so), this is actually a fantastic product.

Must have for Canada

I have been using the app since September 2020 and it is a life saver during Canadian winters. It is a very bad idea to have engine idling as it will damage it (synthetic oil doesn’t need to be wormed up). Also you can not worm up hybrid vehicle by idling either. Tips: Automatic mode only works if the temperature outside is below 10 decrease and manual ON switch must be turned on on the unit itself as well.

Immediately stopped working

Connected once, set up times. Now does not function even with Bluetooth connected, and heater never turns on. Will have to try to figure out what’s wrong with it. Certainly not Toyota quality.
