But that's only if you're streaming audio via Bluetooth correct? What if you're playing music from the radio or USB stick?

But then you only have sound, no visual map unless phone is mounted (still smaller than map on our GS screen), and limited to using Bluetooth streaming/aux for music.

Thanks! I'm glad I didn't have to go to the dealer. It did take me a couple tries but once I figured out that step 5 and 7 meant to pull one position off of the top and not one position down from neutral, it was cake.

Did anybody figure out how to have the driver's seat slide back to partial or full, BUT to keep the keys recognized when unlocking doors. If I set the seat to partial or full slide back when shutting down car, my keys are no longer recognized when I unlock car so that the drivers seat may adjust to key being used, Frustrating

What I enjoy while driving is setting the ring tone for phone or message to speak (You have an incoming call ; You have an incoming message) rather than hear a ringing. I have enough of those all around me during the day.

How do you change the sound the GS makes when you lock/unlock from a horn to a more refined beep? Or can I just turn off the horn?

Your horn beeps when you lock/unlock? Mine just makes the regular Toyota beep which is fine for me.

The horn beeps AND I hear then normal tone too. I can adjust the tone level in customization but I can't find where to turn off the horn redundancy.

I got the Carista app and thought I could prevent the steering wheel from retracting when turning the car off but I don't see that option. I thought it was there. Is there any way to do this?
