So they should put a lot of effort for the application. ### 1/5 — Toyota screwed up Alexa *2023-01-30, version 1.1.15* I am a Techie. Have Alexa ecosystem in my home since 5+ years. Never got the Toyota+Alexa App to get setup on my XSE 2019. Spent hours with Toyota Phone Support in Jan’23, but same result... Car is connected via Bluetooth but fails to detect the Alexa on the phone. Toyota asked to go to a dealership… which asked for a $180 diagnostics fee. Toyota wants me to pay this to dealership with no commitment of reimbursement, as dealers operate independently. During my trials… I must have reinstalled the apps, reset & updated car software more than 20-25 times. I eventually gave up & deleted these apps for good. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work 😡 *2023-01-21, version 1.1.15* This app has really bad connectivities issues with the car. It worked fine when I installed it never ever again! The car cannot detect the App and the feature is grayed out. Horrible experience! The fact that it has a 2 star rating and Toyota doesn’t do anything about it is mind blowing. Toyota has great cars, but this App is a shame. Maybe Toyota should give up on the Alexa feature and remove it from the marketing and sales material to avoid more of this bad customer experience. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time. *2022-09-12, version 1.1.15* I have a 2022 Toyota Tacoma. I down loaded the Toyota and Toyota-Alexa app. It worked for a couple of days and then Alexa froze. Now the Toyota-Alexa icon on the touch screen doesn’t light up even though the truck is connected to my phone’s Bluetooth and the Toyota-Alexa phone app says it’s connect. ### 2/5 — No longer works *2022-07-27, version 1.1.15* After one of the last updates Alexa no longer works. I used to just launch the app and now in order to get it to work I also have to go in to the Toyota app swipe down to get to connected apps and open that. There is nothing on that screen but it puts the app in my Toyota apps window. Try doing that every time you get in to your vehicle. ### 1/5 — Not Worth It *2022-07-20, version 1.1.15* This app is a piece of crap. I bought a 2021 Corolla a week ago. I been able to get Toyota +Alexa app to work one time in my driveway. Now it says make sure my Bluetooth is connected or the app is grayed out on my screen or the app just spins. The voice command to make calls or anything doesn’t really work either. I love the car but the voice command apps like Alexa is worthless ### 1/5 — worked once- Update- Solution Found *2022-07-15, version 1.1.15* I was actually really excited to use this and it worked well the first time. You could just use your phone but the idea of just using your voice without touching your phone would be more convenient. Sadly, Toyota is not fixing this. Hurry up and fix this or stop promoting it as an incentive. SOLUTION FOUND I figured out of to make this work. Obviously, first have a bluetooth connection. This will automatically connect the next time. Then open the red toyota app, NOT toyota+alexa app. In the red toyota app, press the down arrow and it should reveal the app suite button on the bottom left. It should say toyota+alexa app as downloaded. Click on that then on the bottom “launch toyota+alexa app”… this will trigger this app to open up and finallt you will see the app as an audio source in your dash/infotainment. In other words, you have to launch this non working app through the red toyota app to work. Otherwise you will just see a grey icon you can’t click. ### 1/5 — Terrible experience *2022-07-14, version 1.1.15* Doesn’t deserve even one star. Installed it four times and spent well over one hour in total without getting any luck with staring the app properly. Complete waste of time and will never ever use it or try to use it again. ### 1/5 — Crap *2022-07-07, version 1.1.15* I can’t even get this out of my car dash…won’t connect, won’t delete and it’s ruined my ability to use any other feature. Can’t skip songs or even see what is playing anymore. Wish I had never downloaded. Awful everything. ### 1/5 — Way too much hassle *2022-06-13, version 1.1.15* I would rather the app not exist than have it exist in this unusable premature state it’s in now. Or call it what it is, a beta (or Alpha!). I have to open and connect all the apps every time I get into my car. Doesn’t connect when my phone is plugged in. to me, the app is false advertising and completely worthless until they can get it to connect automatically without manual intervention every time I turn on my car. This app degrades my opinion of Toyota and Amazon/Alexa. Neither company should have allowed this to market in the current state. ## Frequently asked questions about Toyota+Alexa ### What does the Toyota+Alexa app do?
