This video was made based on a request. I tried to keep the video as quick as possible. I did not explore the MID (multi information display) in this video. I hope it helps someone out there!
For business please email me directly. I have inventory at this time.

Thank you, just purchased a 2021 Highlander XLE here in Ky. Only has 29,000 mile on it. We are so thankful we found exactly what we wanted at our price range. Locally owned at a university was regularly serviced every 5000 mile.
Good catch!
OMG! I learned so much Brian! Thank so much for the video, I am going to buy a 2021 Highlander XLE ! Soon as the madness stops!!
Glad I could help! I’ve worked with Highlander for 5 years and Toyota is really represented with that car!
Omg I test drove one today, it is fast and smooth
@@brianruperti ask as tletlttlhgfklptss
Hello Brian - I just found your channel and I am binging - thank you for your excellent work! I just watched this video and was hoping you would have clicked on "display" while going through the functions. My 2021 Highlander infotainment screen shuts off after about 15 seconds of driving. Do you know if there is a display setting that is causing this? Thank you
Hey thanks for watching! Yea to turn off the screen just hit
Menu > display > screen off
@@brianruperti I found it after watching again :) Thank you!
Thank you for doing this. Much appreciated.
🙏🏼
appreciate this vid. will be trading in my 15 year old car for a new toyota so there is a massive tech upgrade I need to get accustomed to.
You will do just fine! Toyota makes it with a small learning curve, very ergonomic!
bruh my upgrade was only a 9 year difference, wow this was different.
Thank you so much for this video. Just bought a 2022 Highlander xle. I could not figure out how to get the navigation to work. So you are saying I have to have it connected at all times to my phone in order to see "map"? Ugh.
You’re welcome. Yes if the map button does not generate a map, your smartphone will be the only source of navigation.
Hi, that was great info. I want the radio display screen to stay on my presets but it keeping moving back to 4 phone contacts & map
Hello, are you pressing anything?
Hello, new subscriber here. You’ve been a lifesaver with your videos. I just purchased a 2022 Highlander XLE with navigation. I noticed for the first couple days, the street on was driving on would display on my MID. All of a sudden, it stopped displaying the street unless it’s navigating me to a location. I went to MID settings to restore to default settings, but nothing yet. Any ideas? Thank you
Hello thanks for subscribing! That’s very peculiar. I use this feature daily in my Tacoma. First, congrats on the new Highlander! Have you tried nav settings on the main screen?
I figured it out. The street name does not appear when I turn on the lane departure feature. When I turned it off, the street name popped up under the driver assist screen. Wow, so much to learn on this vehicle. I’m hoping Toyota will release a multimedia update which will allow wireless CarPlay for my vehicle. Thank you again.
@@robertb9679 interesting I learned something!
Very informative. Thanks
Glad I could help!
You are best thanks
So nice of you
Great video. Thanks 👍🙂
You’re welcome!
This was very helpful, just got my SUV on yesterday. Do you know if the Navigation System has a option to work? I have a problem with using the phone and then the navigation system cut out.
Glad I could help! And congrats! Which nav system are you running?
@@brianruperti From my iphone I was using WAVE.
@@MzDntPly So depending on what it’s doing wrong, try these steps:
1.) check for and update phone software
2.) check for and update Highlander software (menu>setup>*scroll down*>software update)
3.) restart phone and car
4.) enter address you’re going to BEFORE YOU PLUG phone in
5.) select Apple CarPlay on the highlander screen
6.) you may need to go into phone settings to allow Apple CarPlay
Bonus: if you’re running android auto and don’t have an iPhone, you have to download the android auto app in your Google play store.
Thank you for the video….I am trying to find a display that has my “direction” as I drive…north/south/east/west???
You’re welcome! I believe the navigation menu on the MID has been taken away for the new generation. I’m 90% sure.
Entune doesn’t exist in the App Store😢. Toyota doesn’t even allow me to add my wife’s new 2021 Highlander. Is it because we are overseas?
Interesting I would consult your local dealer and please write back what they say!
👍👍😊
😎
Awesome video!
Thanks Sam!
Now if there was a way to increase the detail of the Toyota navigation screen map. A lot of times some roads don't show up on the map. Would rather use the one built into the car but it isn't very detailed.
I have a rental right now for a few weeks (21 highlander) and it’s stuck on Celsius! How do I get it back to Fahrenheit?! Thanks in advance
Apps>setup>units&measurements>C to F
Hope that helps!
Really want to know about the door lock settings
You can change them to not unlock when you shift to park. You can also edit which doors open w the keyfob on one click or handle grab.
Dear Brian How To Fix rare camera Detection unavailable In 2022 Toyota Highlander XLE Hybrid
Thanks Waiting for your Replies 🙏
How to fix what?
@@brianruperti
Hi Brian Thanks for Your Response
My 2022 Toyota Highlander XLE Hybrid Rare Camera Grids Lines are not Working How can I fix them
I saw your CZcams video fixing the same problem in 2021 Toyota Camry
Please Help me out
Thanks
@@shahidsings5166 Hmmm. If you do not have the dynamic rear view camera, the grid lines will stay stationary. Also if you do not have that option, you will not see the adjustment symbols on the bottom left of the screen. Also your grid lines will be blue.
Some vehicles come with no grid lines at all. But if you had the dynamic grid, there would definitely be adjustment buttons on that screen.
@@brianruperti no buttons for adjustment
How do you actually power off the screen? I have a 2022 Corolla Cross LE and cannot turn the screen off when I hit the power button. The screen always stays on. There has to be a way to completely turn the power off completely, right? Thanks.
Menu>display>screen off
Can you turn off the info center ? Seems like it be bright at night !

Hi I’m here in Canada Calgary I have Toyota HighlanderXLE 2021 but there’s no Wifi
How can I have wifi in my Toyota Highlander 2021
My Apple CarPlay stopped working, do you know what could be wrong? It won’t work with my phone but will work with my husband’s phone. My charging port isn’t broken bc my phone charges fine when plugged into the outlets at home.
Maybe your
Phone needs a software update
Thank you! is there Any way to put a picture on the screen? Like a desktop background
Probably but I don’t know how
hello Bryan, I have question about 2021 Toyota Highlander XLE. When I connect my android mobile phone to Toyota use the map, I am not getting turn by turn direction audio from car audio system. WhY? Please answer. Thank you.
Hi you need to change the settings in your navigation app
No way.... damn you toyota for not telling me this😅..
How does the project option work or do? Can you show that in a video?
It just simply activates your apple CarPlay or android auto! (Or changes some settings)
Thank you! 😘
My pleasure
Does Highlander 2021 XLE have a heated steering wheel?
Not in my region. It’s a feature on limited and platinum grades.
Does the 2021 XLE have wireless Carplay? Sources online says it does, but I can’t get it to work.
2021 does not.
People complain about the background noise when I talking to them on my phone. Can I fix that?
Depends on exactly what’s going on are you driving at high speeds or in low service areas or with windows open?
@@brianruperti Neither, but I figured it out this afternoon.
Great what was the issue?
@@brianruperti There is a slide bar that you can adjust when the call comes in to fade out the road noise. It took me a year to figure it out...LOL My 2017 highlander didn't have any issues but my 2021 was really bad. Everyone complained about how loud the road noise was when using my phone.
Nice! Thanks for sharing
Does this model have the dynamic backup camera? Where when you turn the wheel it shows it with the yellow lights on the screen? If so, could you make a video on it or how to enable it?
With dynamic rear view camera you will have a symbol on the bottom corner to operate. Stay tuned for a video on that!
HR: how do you change the icons on the map screen from little white dots to a solid line for a highway
You should be able to select: menu>setup>navigation settings
@@brianruperti Hello again. I have a 2022 Toyota Venza XLE. Does your previous comment on the Highlander apply for the Venza. Just go to detailed nav. settings and look for customisation? First subscriber and as others just trying to understand all the new features. Thanks for the help.
Hey thanks for writing back. Essentially the detailed nav settings in the Venza should offer the same customization as the Highlander for that year.
Hello Brian: thanks for the feedback on the customization of the map screen, but did not help resolve my issue. This is what the manual for the 2022 Toyota Venza says “Liquid crystal display - Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is characteristic of liquid crystal displays and there is no problem continuing to use the display.” No solution offered to correct this or how long it will be like this or will be permanent. Just wanted to offer all this to you in case others have this issue.
Sorry my solution did not work. Thank you for providing a segment from the user manual.
Are all Highlander xle 2021 has remote starting engine or some it's not
Only highlanders with Audio plus or Premium Audio.
Thanks. 2022 Toyota Sieena Hybrid has a diagram on the screen shows you when the battery works and charges and when engine works, my question does Highlander has the same option?
Yes
Thanks Brian. Do you have a video shows that for Highlander Hybrid XLE?
@@ghasssan1 yes please enjoy:
czcams.com/video/R13MzuYnyb8/video.html
Thank you for the video. In my car, the Vehicle option is grayed out? Is that normal?
It will grey out when you’re driving. If parked and it is still grey, try doing a software update. If still, call your service center to see if the option was removed during a recent update.
Also do the New SUV come with a spear tire?
Yes
Can you install maps and use? Without android auto or car play
Select highlanders have the integrated nav
@@brianruperti right, but the ones that don't have, is there a way of installing without using phone connection? I only see the three apps you showed on your screen, and when I hit maps, it says it's not installed, so I'm wondering if it's doable.
I just bought a 2021 XLE. I notice the one you're showing have the mud & sand, norm, rock & dirt mode driving. How come mine don't have them or are those additional upgrade?
Is yours a hybrid?
@@brianruperti no 2021 XLE
USA model?
@@brianruperti yes
Does this have apple CarPlay ?
Yes
Can I set up how the auto-lights would work?
I’d like them always go on regardless of lighting conditions outside and would want the tail lights to turn on as well.
Cant’t find settings for that.
You wouldn’t be able to achieve that automatically so you’ll have to simply turn the stalk forward during driving and back off when done.
@@brianruperti Thank you. I know that but the thing is - I want that happen automatically, without thinking.
I need headlights AND taillights go on once engine starts without having to think about it.
The biggest hazard that legislators created is that they allowed daylight running lights to be activated without tail lights.
Even yesterday I was watching people pulling out of the parking lot during lunch time without turning their tail lights on. They knew they had automatic daylight running lights.
Well…. it was raining and very foggy!!
How reckless!
That’s why I want my auto running lights to go on together with taillights.
I expected that the 2022 Highlander Hybrid would allow me to program that.
Unless you are saying that even in headlights ON position they will turn automatically off when I shut down the engine, so the switch can stay in the ON position permanently.
@@JDrwal2 When your lights are in the auto position, you will only have headlights during the day, which is sufficient for safe operation. Once the vehicle senses it is dark or even in a dark tunnel, the tail lights will turn on. But during daylight hours, your DRL will be sufficient.
With the example you made with rain, you can edit the sensitivity of the auto lights to come on much sooner. But I must remind you that the responsibility is due from the driver to know when it is time to turn tail lights on, to follow the law, and have common sense about safety with light use.
Your values lie with mine, bearing the safest choices for daily use. But we must remember even driving in the daylight sunny conditions with no lights at all is considered safe and legal, I still can’t help but wonder about peoples common sense when driving in the rain with no headlights and wipers on. Or speeders that don’t use lights. Or most drivers and their habits anymore.
@@brianruperti Thank you Brian! I still have so much to learn about my new Highlander.
Sensitivity - I’ll crank it up a notch.
By the way - in Europe an additional tail light is mandatory on all vehicles. A very bright tail fog light (red) that must be on in a fog or heavy snow.
I have only one complain about my Highlander, but it’s a big one. For my height this vehicle gets the driver into most uncomfortabke positions of any vehicle I owned or tested. To the point that makes me want to sell it.
In vehicle of thus size one wants to see at least the edge of the hood.
At least a little bit of it. Especially important in city driving or parking.
I’m 5-4” (164cm) tall. So I’m not the shortest person on the planet. I like the front of the seat to be slightly higher than the rest of the seat. And yes, it adjusts this way, yet when I try to raise the seat high enough to see the front of the hood it reaches it’s limit too early and starts lifting only the center and back of the seat. That makes me tend to slide down forward!
Even worse - it also starts shifting the seat forward even though I am not pushing the slide forward knob.
This makes the distance to the pedals to short for me.
I am trying and trying every time I drive to adjust the seat but it’s not working for me. It lacks about 1/2 to 1 inch of extra travel in the up direction before it freezes the front of the seat.
May try it yourself. You will see. At one point the front of the seat will no longer move up but the rest of the seat will continue.
For me this is a major, major flaw.
A 50k vehicle with the most uncomfortable drivers position of all?
Come on…
Unfortunately I cannot grow any taller.
My wife hates it too. She’s a bit shorter than me. So she keeps driving her Dodge Ram.
@@JDrwal2 I understand the law given you are in Europe. You’re the first to speak of this uncomfortable position I must admit. I am sorry to hear you’re uncomfortable in the Highlander.
Is there a GPS system on this model? If so, how do I access it.
Plug your smart phone into the usb plug
@@brianruperti Oh cool! Thank you for replying Brian.
@StacyBrown2 you’re welcome!
Any idea how to adjust the volume when texts are read out loud through the speakers? (I use an iPhone)
Try using the volume button on steering wheel while they’re being read
@@brianruperti I’ve tried that. No luck. I’ve tried everything I can think of in the car and on my phone.

Hi, Can we add the Google Map to the screen??
