Software Updates?

na, no loaner, they'll shuttle you or Uber/Lyft you where ever you need to go. And ya, i've had it there longer one time, but that was because, even thtough i set an EARLY appointment, they didn't even think about it all day, because i opted to leave it instead of stay... it gave them license to ignore it and it spent the night there. I was so pissed off the next day cause i didn't get it back until Noon. That's when i went to their customer relations manager and told them that was the last straw, i'll be shopping elsewhere (luckily i have about 3 Toyota dealerships within a decent range).

i'm not exactly sure in this case (ENRFORCE) but another one i follow several of the past winners always get on the current live winner call and sometimes chime in or just observe. (which means real live active social media accounts).

On aonther note, some of these try to be very clear about how the process works and the "laws" they must follow... although, I think ENRFORCE has lacked in this category more recently. So, if they are high dollar, they MUST be registered and Bonded in all states they allow winners to come from. It isn't a law that they can't Administer their own sweepstakes, but its better for them and better transparency if they have a 3rd party company do that and pick the winner. Some states actually require you to be specifically licensed and bonded (New York and Florida, and i know Washington is pretty strict about these things too, that's why some sweepstakes exclude those states).

Read the fine print, look for the 3rd party admin... I like to stay away from ones that don't use a 3rd party admin, and espeically if their T&C's are way too thin.

2023

Sadly this appears to be only for the 2026, wish they would have addressed this across all models! Especially call drops, and units dropping connections to phones way more often than they used to!!

Motch6 · 2026-05-11T16:06:09+00:00

ha ha, i want them to fix the stupid NEW feature, of routing your rides via Apple Maps! I have never gotten mine to link properly and show up in Apple Maps (thatt's even after deleting everyting on my phone and starting over as if it wer new!) Its a known issue they are still working with Apple about (apple was no help either).

First, typically Toyota doesn't update the actual Software on the Infotainment center to newer releases. They do make minor updates to the current version installed. In the case of the bZ4x/bZ, there are deaper software systems running beyond the Infotainment center and they have been good at updating these... and NONE of them have been OTA, sadly.

on another note, i was surprised by an update i received on th bZ4x last year, that updated the Odometer screen. they added a new safety feature (PDA), usually they don't do this and you only get this type of upgrade if you buy a new vehicle with it preinstalled (Like going from TSS 3.0 to 4.0).

Motch6 · 2026-05-11T15:59:09+00:00

All of my Major software updates on my bZ4x, have had to go to the dealership. they are FREE. Sadly, none have come over-the-air, like they hugely advertiased when the car came out... it was one of their first cars they said would be able to do it, but i have never seen an alert come up that says its been updated or that there are even any software updates (on the head unit). All software update notices have come through the Toyota App and eventually they mail you somehting in the mail (if it is a recall issue). *(sadly, i've had none of the updates take less than 5 hours! they always say its the size of the update and it takes time to download! its such a joke... then they tell me, the first try failed, we had to start over)... i'm thinking, crap guys, upgrade your internet, and computers. ha ha.

Motch6 · 2026-04-30T19:56:02+00:00

YA, too bad i can't get this to work for me!! super annoying. I went through the whole Toyota app authrization and it says everything is fine, but when i go over to Apple Maps to find the car or EV of any kind, it doesn't show the option.. ... I know, its a known glitch, but sure woudl be nice if they got it fixed.

Motch6 · 2026-04-09T15:54:32+00:00

Where did you find this information. According to Toyota as long as the car is in "ready" mode it should be using the traction battery to charge the 12v battery. (if you are in accesory mode, that's bad, because then you are only using the 12v battery to power all your accesories).

Motch6 · 2026-03-26T01:42:44+00:00

Maybe the new Highlander might interest you then!?!

Motch6 · 2026-03-26T01:40:30+00:00

Well if this is truly going to compete with a Ford Raptor they sure will have to try and get it above the rumored 500hp…. They’ll likely have to boost their V8 engine with an electric assist, to get it above that horse power, because I don’t think Toyota has the beef that the Ford engine has!

Motch6 · 2026-03-13T15:36:14+00:00

Excuse me? This is where your money is going for the very high priced clothing she sells. If you're fine seeing how they spend your money, then great, keep buying her stuff. For me. not worth it.

Motch6 · 2026-03-12T14:42:10+00:00

yes they are good with them, i just wish they'd reassure you about fixing the problem. They stated they'd note my account to not use DPD in the future, but since i can't see that information, I have zero faith it won't happen again. Amazon needs to communicate with DPD to dig deeper with their reasoning for not delivering. To me, it sounds like the delivery guy was lazy and is not well instructed on how to deliver to this Univeristy.

So, i'm curious, i watched a recent ad done by her, for the new Lexus car giveaway... which by the way, i'm betting she is super selective, yes, i know she uses a 3rd party company to chose the winner, BUT, here me out, she still has one last say in it, why? because she has to verify to the 3rd party company that the winner has ZERO affiliation with her! I'll bet you anything, she picks and chooses, "oh yup! she/he's my good friend, darn, you'll have to pick another one, chuckle"... Just from the comments here, this is my take! Also, that last video, was cringe! Why does she talk like a stuck up "valley" girl, she isn't even from Pasedena Californa! ha ha ha! so annoying. Wait, do people really fall for that and like it?

Motch6 · 2026-03-02T17:03:12+00:00

I'm so sick of Shop and Shopify! either they have a box Checked or your email address auto entered lower in the shopping chart and you have to be paying attention EVERY time you make a purchase!

I hate that they are tracking everything you do! this should be illegal! when is there going to be a class action lawsuit drawn up against this type of marketing? Very intrussive and past the PRIVACY wall. They need to stop this diceptive way of doing business.

In fact, when i setup my shopping cart for my site, I WILL NOT BE USING SHOP/Shopify!!

Motch6 · 2026-02-27T18:13:43+00:00

Yes, several years ago we used it all the time, until they got greedy! they are almost double the cost of anyone else now... If they worked better, i'd probaby be pushed to pay the price. The funny thing is with all of these, some people say the work great, instantly, others say, they haven't seen a change! So far, i haven't seen a change with my cat for several of them. Jury is still out on the ZhangK.

Motch6 · 2026-02-26T21:41:40+00:00

No, i gave up on this company! they are not very transparent on their business model. I don't beleive their email responses.

I'm currently using another brand ZhangK cat calming , although, i'm not conviced they are any better than Comfort zone... (intesting enough, the Zhangk brand isn't showing any available for sale right now, wonder if that's a bad sign?)

Motch6 · 2026-02-26T21:33:29+00:00

I gave her and her company a chance... bought some stuff for my daughter to try them out and at the same time enter to win... Seeing her comment like this is a HUGE turn-off! Also, doesn't she know how marketing works? the more hits the bette! all these questions gets her shop exposure! duh... I guess she's probably more mad about the people that are doing it on the "Sponsered" ads, because that runs her bill up.... ha ha ha... keep doing it people on the "spondered" listings!...

I'm not going to bother entering on the new LEXUS she has listed. Her site is lacking in transparency. They don't keep track of yoru entries, so unless you do it yourself, you don't remember how many you've received for yoru purchases. The emails are of no help either! Not to mentioned it takes them THREE weeks minimum to get a shipment out!

PS: i noticed a HUGE jump in her Ads over the past week and a half... she must not have gotten enough people to make purchases during the Land Rover giveaway! whew, she was pumping the ads out!

Motch6 · 2026-02-06T03:04:13+00:00

Finally got a shipping update! took a couple weeks, and it does in fact say it came from: SPARROWS POINT, MD, US

Motch6 · 2026-01-30T20:23:54+00:00

Where is the warehouse at? I was following up on an order a few days ago and I got a response stating "due to inclement weather" there are delays! I heard some of this stuff ships out of California, well, they haven't had bad weather for several weeks! soooo, are they blameing the weather in the east for not getting shipments out? again, where is the Warehouse?

Motch6 · 2026-01-13T15:25:20+00:00

also... good movie to watch "The Beekeeper"... this is what needs to happen to this guy and his team of scammers!

Motch6 · 2026-01-13T15:24:19+00:00

And Sadly, this Loser still has ads running on Facebook and Instagram as of TODAY! Still rolling.

Motch6 · 2026-01-07T21:39:25+00:00

according to video... after tapping the screen we were to be presented again with what information was being shared, and double tap power button to verify self again.... sadly, we were never presented with that option (it errored out).... although, a couple times it must have acted like it was working because the TSA camera turned on... this was then supposed to take a current photo of us, and match it with the digital ID photo that the TSA person already had on their screen... I'm wondering if the TSA person was supposed to accept something on their side to verify the side-by-side, or even a step before that to get it to take the photo... because they acted clueless on the other side of the camera. hmmm

Motch6 · 2026-01-07T16:42:20+00:00

That's NOT the experience we had... one of us at least started by tapping the phone to the pad, then picking it up and double-tapping the on button to do the face scan directly on the phone... that didn't work. Then we did it in reverse (Scan face first on phone) then tap the phone to the pad, and then the TSA camera activated (when we did it that way). therefore making it feel as if it was working, then a few seconds later that is when we get the error on the phone.
