When you bought your Corolla and picked it up, were you able to figure out everything on the screen yourself, or did you need one of the Toyota-reps there to help you through it? I was able to partly figure out the Buick Intellink system...not all of it. The Corolla, though, by my guess, probably does not have a very complex system by Toyota standards.

Well, it was almost 4 years ago that I bought my '13 GS F-Sport and there was no tech specialist around at that time to help me master all the settings.

I bought my RX and IS in October 2013 and they had the specialist then but I don't know for how long.

I had a Lexus "Technology/Delivery Specialist" (title on his business card) sit down with me after I purchased my car.

He tabbed out all of the "important" or most-used functions in my manual and went over these with me; setup my Enform account right then and there; explained service connect and what it does; loaded applicable apps on my phone and showed me how to use them; synced my phone to the car and showed my how to stream music; and generally answered any questions I had about the car's features, including setting up everything I wanted.

Very helpful and knowledgable versus the old days of salesman doing this with hit or miss knowledge, at least at the level needed.
