Automaker 1686 Toyota has opted to use Scout GPS Link by Telenav and UIEngine Link by UIEvolution in its 2016 Toyota Tacoma, as well as other 2016 Toyota vehicles in the United States equipped with Entune Audio Plus.

Part of the Scout family of apps by Telenav, Scout GPS Link allows users easily to transfer the information displayed on their mobile device outside the car to the multimedia display inside their car.
