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. This not only helps provide an optimised and safe experience with larger buttons and easier-to-read navigation while driving, but it also includes one-touch controls and voice recognition.

The connectivity between phone and vehicle is provided by UIEvolution's UIEngine Link, which allows drivers to securely access real-time data and services like navigation and traffic provided by Scout GPS Link, using their mobile device.

Scout GPS Link will soon be available for Toyota owners for both iPhone and Android mobile phones as a free download with a complimentary subscription from the Apple App Store and Google Play. Drivers also can use the app connected to the vehicle head unit free of charge.
