Dear lord. The fact they even had this much data means I'll never even think about buying a Toyota in future no matter how many grovelling apologies they issue now.
I used to have a Ford. Their app was generally good but I think all you need is the VIN to add a new car. Now you have the ability to track that car, lock the doors, remote start it, and so on.
All second-hand car buyers should get their car's app and activate their car on it to lock out all other sessions - hopefully.
I have an Audi from ~2017. Then, a few years ago, the 3G network was shut down in the US. Can't use the app to unlock the doors or check the car status. I think I prefer it like that. Interestingly, on the center console screen, it shows an LTE connection - must be for something else? Then why isn't the unlock/lock function over LTE? Who knows.
