---Official Eco Dashboard Ranking Thread---

I had the top spot for a little while (my car is called "mine!") but fell way down the list when I was forced to take a bunch of longer than my EV range trips. Now I can't even get the Entune app to work on my new phone. It worked fine with iOS 6 on my iPhone 4 but it crashes on the iPhone 5.

BTW you can change your car's name to something non-generic by logging into the Entune site. Can't remember off-hand where I renamed it, but it's there somewhere if you poke around enough.

 

Without trying to look too much like a noob, where can I find this top 10 list?​

 

gimme time to think about one,lol

 

Eco Dashboard is one of the hybrid apps in Entune for the Advanced trim. I don't think there is a website to view it outside of the app.

 

too bad cant do this on the base model.....maybe we can have a thread posting our screens with mileage/MPG ect.

Limiting it to the Advanced trim is going to limit the amount of data. One would think Toyota would love the extra data.

I guess Fuelly will fill that need tho.

 

Yes, it's rank.

 

Is there any reason the non-advanced can't do this (other than the missing apps?) Is the hardware different, or is it just the internet connection that's missing? Since you can fix the missing internet connection with a smart phone, I'm puzzled as to why they left this off the base model (besides trying to get people to buy the advanced).

If there is no hardware limitation, it seems like the kind of thing that might get changed in a software update if enough people pester Toyota about it

The Advanced apps (including the ECO dashboard) use the built-in SafetyConnect cell phone, which is only in the Advanced. When you run the Advanced apps, your phone is talking to a server, which in turn makes a data call to the SafetyConnect phone in the car to get the information. The Bluetooth/USB connection between the car and the phone is not used; the advanced apps are typically used when you are not near the car (like the Vehicle Locator!).

 

Ok, I get that. And I can see where most of the advanced apps involve being able to talk to the car when you are not in it. It doesn't seem like there is any reason the eco dashboard has to function this way though. Is there any reason the car couldn't just store the data, and upload it when the internet connection becomes available through the bluetooth/usb connection? Connecting to wifi when you get home would have been nice too

la tea dah

 

la te dah, who cares

 

Delete the application (Entune) from your phone and then go to the app store and reinstall the application. It will work fine then.

 

Why didn't I think of that? It worked like a charm. Thanks!
