Toyota Launches Entune Multimedia System

Japanese automaker Toyota has launched today a new multimedia system at the Consumer Electronics Show. Dubbed Entune, the system enables customers to use their mobile phones in order to simplify their in-vehicle experience, by using conversational voice recognition and in-vehicle controls.

All the customers have to do is download the Toyota Entune mobile application and pair a Bluetooth capable phone with their Toyota vehicle.

Toyota Entune will be available as an option on select models this year.
