Oh, the irony.

As the owner of a new Toyota who received a phone call from our dealer because Toyota contacted them about a (routine) maintenance alert from our vehicle… the car / app combination is a privacy nightmare.

They offer an opt out, and that’s good, but by the gods their default is insane.

I mean, you can also contact them - per my quoted text. The app is just easier if you don't feel like dealing with tracking things down. ;P

But yes, in general, the defaults on all new modern vehicles are a nightmare.
