Amazing
Great run-through of all the features. I am an old school guy, worried about all the keys and features, but your video saved a wealth of time. Toyota has to do such videos to save everybody's time or has to recommend watching your videos. Thanks a ton!!!
Glad to help!
Did you try the "know your Toyota" CZcams video series? I believe they are also helpful.
Fantastic video. Just brought my 2023 Highlander XLE home and this really helped me learn everything quickly! It was very thorough and most appreciated! Thank you!
Congrats! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
I love watching your video to learn how to use bell and whistle! Just took 23’ hybrid Limited home so I’ll watch this again and again to get used to it! Thank you, Brian!!
Thank you and big congrats on suck a nice vehicle! Your comment made my night 🙏🏼
Thanks for keeping us updated as new models come out! This is so, so valuable! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
This was incredibly useful for a new user!! thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
VERY Helpful! We bought a Highlander just about a month ago and we have been SO confused by the buttons and the screens. My wife just called me (from the car) saying I HATE THIS CAR! because we just can't figure it all out. There are too many buttons/options and ZERO help from Toyota. Why the Toyota company hasn't made a clear, simple, direct video like you did baffles me. I can't wait till my wife gets home so I can show her your video. My blood pressure has dropped watching your video (not really, but you get the idea) and I'm sure hers will as well. Thank you again!
You made my day! So glad to help you :-)
11:08 Just needed this info. Thanks
Excellent video, concise but cover all the things I need to know. Thank you!

Just upgraded from a 2015 Hybrid Highlander to the 2023. Even though a lot is similar, there are so many new features. this was very helpful. Thanks.
Congrats! Glad to help
Why you switch 2015 hybrid
Ppl say toyota is for life atkeast 250k no turning back
Or

Please reply
Thanks for the excellent tutorial. I just picked up my LE from Corwin Toyota here in Colorado Springs a couple of days ago and this gave me everything I needed to know.
Hey big congrats and thanks for watching! Cheers from the east coast 🙏🏼

Amazing job Brian! Congratulations!
Thanks so much!
Great Review ! Good Job!
Thank you
Great video, so helpful to learn the features. Thank you! So many features in the new Highlander...and the owner's manual is over 400 pages!
Thank you!
What an excellent video describing all the features. We're about to buy a Highlander and this will definitely help my partner feel more comfortable with her new space ship.😂 Thank you so much for being concise.
Glad it was helpful!
Outstanding. I will be visiting this many times. Thanks so much.
Thanks!
Outstanding presentation.
Thank you!
this is my dream car and i’m hoping to have one in the future! 😍 can’t wait to graduate and have a stable work 😁
All good things come in time
Thanks so much! One thing I am unclear on is how to use the good-old-fashioned AM/FM radio tuner. But I saw where that was on the Toyota interface and I think I can figure it out. Thanks again!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you soooo much!!!! Just got a Highlander and did not know what to do with all those buttons lol. Your video was really helpful
Glad I could help!
Great video man! I was having difficulty with the rear vent controls and this video explained it better than most! Others gloss over it making it seem so simple but that’s not always the case.
It seems simple now that I understand it! Lol great tutorial 👍🏻
Glad it helped!
Very well made video. It's easy to understand, and I don't even own one. A family member just bought one, and I forwarded it to him.
Thanks!
Thank you! This was super helpful, even for my Australian Kluger (just looks backwards!).
Glad it helped!
Holy shit, well damn done 🤜
Thanks!
Thanks.
You’re welcome
Fantastic demo thank you! The only things IMO that were overlooked is how to rearrange and choose what apps you have showing in CarPlay, are controlled from the phone. Also how to get to the standard FM radio. I haven’t spent much time with mine yet, but if memory serves me correctly it’s a bit convoluted getting to the radio as well as no way to put a hot button for it on the CarPlay screen. As I write this another would be how to set favorites in radio.
Yesterday I got finally XLT. I don't know anything about Platinum version (hope it's awesome), but XLT nicely loaded too.
Good car
Thanks for doing this. I've got the 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Bronze Edition, So there are a few differences between this XLE non-hybrid, and my XLE Bronze Hybrid. But you showed me a few tricks in this video that I had not realized yet. So thank you very much.
Thanks for watching! Glad to help
@@brianruperti I'm presuming that you don't see all those apps unless you hook your phone in through the USB port? I've got an Android phone, version 13, and when I hook up Android Auto it seems to handle stuff differently. I just like to play the audio from my CZcams and other apps through the speakers on the vehicle.
Yes, however if you connect to Bluetooth you should also be able to run music via Bluetooth alone as well.
@@brianruperti I've been able to connect by Bluetooth and play the audio from CZcams and from twitch. But the biggest aggravation, is that sometimes the system just blanks out in the middle and the Bluetooth will switch back to my earpiece, or not at all. All my software is updated. But your video was a great help Tell me what all the buttons did. Now, do you have a video explaining where all of the sensors are located on the outside of the vehicle? The high low automatic headlights, the radar for cruise control the blind spot monitoring, etc?
Sorry to hear that but glad I was able to help in some way. I don’t have a dedicated video but the camera is in the front windshield and the collision sensor is inside the front emblem or right below it.
This was a great tutorial and helped save time trying to figure it all out! Thanks
Glad to help!
Can you explain the hotspot feature? Is it worth the subscription
It makes your car a wifi router basically and is useful if you frequent areas with no service or if you work remotely. I personally don’t use it because I don’t use technology when I’m in remote areas.
Also it’s paid via third party supplier like AT&T
@@brianruperti thanks. I did sight up for it because our data slows down after 20 gb. My husband uses his quick listening to podcasts etc going to work
I love your video could you please make a video about how to set up the mirror case has 3 bottoms
Thanks so much for this video. I like to research as much as possible on a new vehicle. So my hubby has an Android and I have an iPhone will the system know to change between the phones depending on driver?
Hi, thank you for the video. I was wondering if you knew how to turn off the passenger air conditioner, air flow? Thank you
Hi my pleasure. Front or rear passenger?
Thank you very much for this video. We had the misfortune to get stuck with a Highlander from Enterprise rental with no instructions whatsoever on its operation. It was a nightmare trying to do the simplest thing at night while driving from the airport in a new city. Nobody needs all this crap on a car. What a waste of money. After your video at least we were able to survive until our trip was over.
Thank you! I appreciated your time and help in clarifying all the different symbols and options. My question - if I do not want to add my cell phone is there a way to still use the navigation system or does it all depend on using a cell having to be installed in the profile?
Thanks! Yes you can fine tune the CarPlay system to only port over maps and not port over messages or contacts. It’s in your phone settings.
Please show about cruise control while you are driving
Thanks Brian! The platinum is so beautiful and fully loaded than XLE.
Yes I can’t wait to see a new one
@@brianruperti Totally agreed! What do you think about the new engine, ride quality, wind nose? Thanks!
New engine is fine for what the Highlander is made to do. I’m biased towards V6 power. Ride quality was great just like 2022. Wind noise is not bad at all. Quiet to me.
@@brianruperti Thank you! Awaiting for the 12"3 infotainment video pls! Thank you!
This is the 12.3 video!
I really love the way you explain everything but I didn't get to see the outside and the back seats.
Thank you! Check this out czcams.com/video/ILS1Y2DP7CY/video.html
Very informative! You didn’t mention any settings for the backup camera? Also any audio alerts when your getting close or audio blind spot alerts? Thank you very much.
Thank you. Basic settings exist when dynamic camera is on the vehicle. No audio for BSM and for getting close audio only occurs when equipped with parking sonar.
Thanks you. Do you know how to close automatically the side rear views?
You’re welcome. They don’t
Thanks. Great info. I want to turn off the high pitched beeping or at least lower the volume when close to an object or changing the settings. Is that in the Toyota app under ‘general’?
For parking sonar?
Brian-Excellent Video's to help understand all the features. I tried skimming through the manual, but it was not helpful at all and doesn't go over a lot of the features which is disappointing. This is a lifesaver :-) . The only thing I can't figure out is how to do the audio text readback. Making calls or sending text messages is not an issue, however when I get a text message and touch screen so it will read it to me, I can't hear it through the speakers like I can with phone calls. I can faintly hear it near the MID area. The screen shows me it is reading it back, i just can't hear it. I noticed the microphone on my MID shows it's crossed out. I was able to make it work once but can't figure how to again. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you! Not sure why it would do that sorry!
Just came home with a '24 Grand Highlander which has the same or very similar infotainment system. Question: Is there a way to autolock the car when you walk away? Also, a couple complaints, the wireless android auto disconnects constantly which makes it nearly useless. Too bad, I was looking forward to this feature. Wired works fine. Also, the lane departure assist function doesnt alway work. While testing, there are times when nothing happens when the car crosses the center lines. Weird. Overall - Love the car.
I was told that a 2023 highlander XLE has driver easy speak intercom to speak with rear seat passengers through the audio system but I’m not able to locate the menu or instructions to turn it on and/or operate it on my 2023 highlander hybrid XLE
I see how it’s done on previous year models but the media screen is entirely different.
You explain plenty things. I've got use to Toyota 21 to play USB music. This modern display don't have any bottons to switch to see flash drive with music. When I insert flash drive system send quick text: flash drive with media. And I can't find where to see display my flash drive and how I can play music from flash drive
Great video!. Do you have any information on the 2025 Highlander??
Thanks! Not yet
Can you do a button review tutorial for the rav 4 hybrid xle 2023? As well as a general review?
Yes when I have time! Thanks for asking
Great and detail video thanks......
When you remote start the suv it turns off when you open de door or unlock the doors?? I hate that should be like others brands..... Go off if you don't have the key with you and try to move the gear shift...... I make no sense have remote start and restart the car when you get inside.... I'm a big fan of toyota i have a highlander 2023 platinum but unfortunately for that feature and when blind spot activates the light blinks but don't make any sounds..... i have to go with Honda pilot elite instead
How can I close the side windows?
Excellent presentation. Very informative. Thank you. Question: how can I play my ipod in the 23 XLE H'lander? Do I have to download any apps? Pls advice. Thx much. JD
Thanks. iPod would probably be a converter to usb. No apps needed.
How do you seek and scan when in Sirius XM?
Thank you! Also can you tell me how I can set my phone so it rings first for an incoming call.
The person who is calling gets right through without a ring, it automatically picks up call, please help...
Sorry not sure why it does that
Good presentation, but a couple of omissions...1) you can turn off the auto parking brake by holding the parking brake button for 5 seconds. 2) the three ports next to the 12 volt outlet are not old and new style, the left one is for USB connection to the system, while the right two are for charging only (no connection). 3) on the air conditioning, you forgot to mention pressing "auto" on the left temp control knob sets the whole front seat area to automatic duct and fan control. 4) Also on air conditioning, the S-flow button doesn't just turn the rear off, it senses where there are seated passengers and allows control/flow to only those areas. Otherwise, good presentation!
Thank you!
Can one of you elaborate on what the AUTO button does on the left temp dial? Since there’s no Max AC button anywhere, does this cover that function?
@@laurensutton3016 Yes... sort of. First, the obvious... "Auto" will tell the system to detect the outside temp, the inside temp, and the sunshine brightness coming through the front windshield to determine how to adjust the temperature of the heater/AC air, the fan speed, the source of the air (outside or recirculate), and the flow/direction of the air (dash vents, floor vents, defrost vents, or a mix of those) to achieve the temperature you set with the three dials (driver, front passenger, rear passenger). Note that it will also delay the initial air movement after starting your engine, until the engine warms up enough for heat, or for the air conditioning compressor to produce enough cold air to be useful, so you don't get blasted with damp, un-conditioned air. As far as "Max Air", I have a Mustang with that button, which forces the air source to "recirculate" and keeps the compressor ratio to "fully on" to give you the coldest possible air. The "auto" button on the Highlander will make those choices for you if you turn the temp all the way down to "LO" in "auto", the coldest setting. Note also, that the Highlander will attempt to make you comfortable with as little noise as possible. Plus, you can manually set the fan speed or air ducts at any time which will extinguish the "auto" light. However, I have found that "auto" works very well, runs smooth and quietly, and uses less gasoline than using any manual control. Plus, if you drive into a tunnel in the summer time, the fan will slow down because there is no sunshine to keep you warmed up. One more thing... if you select "ECO" on the center console for driving more economically (as opposed to Sport or Normal), your air conditioner will take a little longer to cool you down, as that will save fuel. Hope that helps.
Thanks for this. Can you explain to me why each time I start the vehicle it goes into guest mode and will not stay in my primary driver mode. Thanks
Hmm that’s strange. I would try disconnecting and reconnecting your account. If that doesn’t work, I’d stop by the dealer to have your sales person assist you.
How can I unlock the back doors when I open the door handle as I approach. Do I have to unlock from drivers side door ? My 2019 Highlander opened the back doors automatically. Please advise. Thanks for a great video .
Either hold your hand on the driver door handle for 4 seconds, or just open the front passenger door, or go to settings and vehicle customize to set the 4 door unlock as default.
I enjoyed your videos I am a newbie I've had my 2022 Toyota Highlander XLE for about close to a year now and I'm still learning and I would honestly say it there is a lot I don't know. I do have a question in a concern as well as trying to find out by googling and on CZcams. My question is, I have NOT BEEN able to get in for my 25,000 oil change. I have made numerous attempts but no luck. I been watching it's performance and all is good but late last night it alerted me that I need oil though the light didn't go on. I know I need a oil change drastically too. I tried AGAIN to schedule that to be told to call back (this is irritating- since it's been happening for 6minths! My question is: 1. What kind of oil, I only know Ow-20?
2.Should I take my Toyota to a Take5 or oil change place instead of dealership/which I been dealing with?
I'm greatly worried. Any hints or advice I would appreciate cuz am just a single parent on a budget
Contact a Toyota dealer that will
Answer you calls. Sorry to hear this.
Hi, very informative video ty, question: is there a way to turn OFF the auto shut off/start when coming to stop signs, i seen theres normal and Extended but was wondering if theres a hidden option to turn it off permanently?
Yes that button should be near the shifter. Please see the buttons near shifter chapter
yes i know of this, but was wondering if theres a way to stop this feature permanently since its just an annoyance, was really hoping this vehicle wouldnt of added this *sigh*@@brianruperti
Do you have a video for the 2023 Platinum?
Coming very soon. It will be a hybrid PLT
Could you go over the emergency button again please. I thought it was a free service with the Roadside assistance.
Yes it is a recovery system by Toyota. Called safety connect. www.toyota.com/connected-services/safetyconnect/
Can you show us how to change the split screen so it shows different apps. Can it show Sirius radio on part and waze on other part? I have 2023 Highlander XLE 12.3 screen.
Yes in the next video I will I believe that can be adjusted in your settings on the CarPlay settings app
Hi Brian, great video, one question, how do you download apps, like FaceTime on my CarPlay?
Thanks! FaceTime wouldn’t work on CarPlay because the truck monitor doesn’t have a camera.
Yet 😏
Thank you Brian
You’re welcome
Silly question:How do you start uphill with electronic parking break and a manual transmission rav4?
We don’t make those
🤗
Thanks Brian - good info. I just got my '23 Highlander Limited. When I get a phone call, the ring volume is VERY high. I found the ringtone control you showed in your video and like your video the slider for ringtone was greyed out and you couldn't change it along with the other controls on that page. So how can you lower the volume of the ring tone?
Thank for watching. Did you try in the settings with the car in park?
@@brianruperti Yes.
I found out how but it's odd to me. When the voice from wherever is playing, hit the down volume button on the left side of the steering wheel.
Ahh thanks for sharing
How can I access the coolant and oil pressure gadgets for display on the dashboard?
Oil pressure isn’t shown but coolant temp should be on bottom of the speedo
How do I change the time in MID for day light savings?
On infotainment screen go to settings>general>date&time>daylight savings
Hi Brian, Two ?’s:
1. Why doesn’t my cell connect to car speaker when I receive a call? (I have to switch to car speaker from my cell each call… a bit dangerous) I think somehow it lost connection?
2. When I use auto-start- why does car turn off when I open the door? Thank you
Hello
Not sure why phone call doesn’t play through speakers. Also car is designed to turn off after door opens for anti theft
A three blinker?
I just got my 2023 Hylander and I’m having issues with the interior trunk button. When I push it, it beeps but won’t open. It only opens with the key fob or when I push the button on the trunk door. Can you help me understand why the button in the interior won’t open my trunk?
There may be a hatchback reset button inside the glove box. If you don’t have one or that doesn’t work, time to bring into service.
First time Toyota Highlander purchaser. Thanks for the video, but one question (at least) remains: The power mirrors on the Limited trim level automatically pull in when the vehicle is locked. But is there a way to pull them in (either via a setting or manually) prior to driving into what can be a somewhat narrow garage?
Hey welcome to the family! If it has the option to fold separately, there would be a button on the door by the window switch with a little mirror symbol and a capital “A” for auto fold and you can push the button all the way down to fold now. I hope that helps.
@@brianruperti That's the ticket, Brian. Thanks very much.
Hope that helped
Quick question, does the limited highlander have any different features all they are all the same across the board?
Please see the brochure attached
If we are on radio mode (FM) how do we change the station ???
You can select tune or search on the screen
Can we set up 2 different cell phones? My hubby and mine? Just bought a 2023 highlander limited hybrid
Yes you can
when i shut engine off there is a very brief display on MID. Looks like trip info? But it's so brief I can't tell. Any advice on how to extend time?
Great question I don’t think you can adjust that. I could be wrong. But if you look at it right after shutting the engine and don’t open the door, it lasts longer.
Hi-At 7:58 you say “ Back up to here I can go over one” to get to the large digital speedometer? Can someone go through that step by step? I’m surely not the sharpest knife in the drawer… Thank you so much
Use the up and down arrows to access the “leaf menu” and then move over using the right or left arrows until you find the digital speedo.
How do you play the radio
