wow, did you read too much into that one my friend. of course it's not needed for using the car. it's needed to use the in dash mapping feature.

Okay so I read your comment to say you didn’t want their mapping service so assumed it was more broad. My bad.

That being said, on re-reading the Toyota app does not require location/Bluetooth/Contacts to set up.

  • if it doesn't have bluetooth, how is it going to communicate with the device? if it doesn't have location, how's it going to operate the map? if it doesn't have contacts, how is it going to display the caller info on screen? what in the world are you talking about? after denying the app all of that information, there's not point in using the app which is precisely why i didn't use their app.
