I searched to see if I could find this anywhere else, but nothing came up.

Hey, hope you are all enjoying your Thanksgiving and enjoying friends and family regardless of the situation. Over the past months, I've crossed a number of state lines driving my LS and have noticed (approximately 5 months ago) that State Line notification into Said State, is no longer the same. Instead of saying "Welcome to "Said State"", it now reads out "You have crossed the state line". What changed because when I drive my other Toyota vehicles, I still get the "Welcome to State" verbal message. Anyone have any clue ?

 

I think it could be a software version thing. I know that my 2019 LS says "Welcome to Missouri" when I cross into Missouri, which I do often. My dad has an early 2018 and I am pretty sure his only says something about crossing a state line but displays the state on the screen.

On a side note, the other major difference between my dad's infotainment and mine is that my car has Apple Carplay. I know its available to 2018 models as some sort of a dealer update. I don't know if that upgrade adds the auto daylight savings and the different state line announcement or just adds Apple Carplay.
