I bought the new Highlander the last week of February. I had watch almost every CZcams video review out on the 2020 Highlander before my purchase. I have got to say, this video was super informative for helping to find and understand all the info tech stuff. Great job!
Thank you for the kind words! We love it when our review is helpful to a viewer. We are very jealous by the way, both of us wanted to drive it home! Enjoy your magnificent new ride! Thanks for watching!
Yes, this and their other highlander review is very informative! Keep it up, you two!
I know exactly what you mean. I'm waiting for my local dealer to complete a dealer swap for the specific Platinum model (blueprint/glazed caramel) that I wanted and I've been watching everything that I can in the meantime. Can't wait to take delivery!
@@golferpro1241 Lucky you! I'm still waiting for the vehicle and dealer is being shady about ETA. North Jersey here btw (Bergen Co).
@@golferpro1241 that's a great color too. hope you're enjoying your new ride 😀. thx for the tip - I'm gonna call your guy first thing tomorrow.
I just purchased the 2020 hybrid Highlander Platinum, I’ve been looking all over the internet for information on how to use the dashboard accessories and infotainment center. I found it here, thanks so much, very thorough instructions, easy to follow. I like how you have the split screen explaining the instrument panel.Found out things I didn’t know that I could do. thanks again,
First off, congratulations on your new car. Second, thanks for the kind words. We’re glad that we helped you to find new things that all the technology in your car can do for you. Thanks for watching
Thank you. I’m upgrading from a 2009 Highlander to a 2022 Highlander. The tech is completely different so I appreciate the guided explanation of how it works.
You’re welcome and congratulations on your new ride. Thanks for watching
Toyota should pay you for this tutorial. Really helpful. Thank you!
Well thanks for the compliment! We’re glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching and don’t forget to hit that subscribe button!
It took months for my 2020 Highlander to arrive, so I watched multiple video reviews. This video was the most helpful of all. I learned so much and have just customized my vehicle to my preferences all based on the info contained here. I would never have found all these settings on my own and my dealer could not go into this much detail. Thank you so much. I'm recommending you guys to everyone I know who is buying a new car!
Wow, that’s fantastic! Thanks for the kind words. You stated the reason we make these videos. The dealers can’t deliver your car and go into this much detail and even if they did it’d be information overload before you drive off the lot. We take the time to go in-depth and with CZcams you can pause, go back, or skip ahead to find the exact information that you need. You’ve made our day BTW and congratulations on your new car! Thanks for watching
@@TwoGuysandaRide By the way.... do you know where to find a button or icon to activate a washer for the rear camera? We saw that referenced in another video, but nobody knew where it is located. Again..... thank you for such a qualify production and in-depth overview!
The washer spray for the rear cameras (both backup and digital rear view cameras) is automatically activated when you spray the windshield wiper for the rear window. There is no separate button. Hope that helps. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!
Great video gentlemen...I ordered my Highlander Platinum at the end of February and now I'm anxiously awaiting it's delivery. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 virus will delay the delivery date as the plants are shutdown. In the meantime I will watch this video a few times just to get familiar with the numerous options available. Great job on this video !! Thanks
Thanks! And congratulations on your purchase we’re jealous! Your going to love it! Thanks for watching!
Did you get your new vehicle yet? Mine is on the way, expected to show up at the dealer on the 15th.
@@dancepartydjs Picked it up on July 24th... it was well worth the wait ! I assume yours arrived on time ? Enjoy ...
My platinum hybrid was built Thursday and might be available next Monday. This was a very informative segment. It seems that there are several ways to accomplish some of the tasks. My primary concern is with programing the navigation. Thank you for doing this.
First off all we are both jealous, secondly, we love it when viewers find our content helpful. Thanks for watching!
Your video explained many of the technology items that are hard to understand from reading about them. Learned a lot - thanks.
Thanks! We always are happy when our viewers find our videos helpful. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video and thanks for going into such details. I just took delivery of my 2021 Platinum AWD last week and this really helped me understand all the tech.
Thanks! We always love it when our viewers find our videos helpful. Thanks for watching!
I think there is no proper video on CZcams that explains the difference between all types of sound systems that come with highlander. Specifically, what’s the difference between XLE and platinum infotainment. One has 6 speakers and other has 11. Demo of how they sound and a difference will be nice. Can you guys please do that demo, it will be super helpful for the potential customers.
Thanks for the suggestion. It’s hard to demo the sound systems because of copy right issues but we understand the issue you refer to and will see what we can do. Thanks for watching!
Extremely helpful! Thank you!
You’re welcome, we’re glad you found it useful, and thanks for watching!
It would help if you started with how you got the infotainment center to work without starting the Highlander. Edit: I did complete the video and it beats the documentation by leaps and bounds. Although new to all the technology in the Platinum, I was able to setup everything up correctly. I also did the shorter video on Apple Car Play, Bluetooth, and phone pairing. Another great video.
The truck was running while I was filming. Thanks for watching!
@@TwoGuysandaRide Must have been the sound technology? My cab was not that quiet. The one thing I later learned from the documentation was the engine had to be running while doing the setup. I apologize for my misunderstanding. I edited my original post.
No problem! Thanks for the kind words. We are always thrilled when a viewer finds our videos useful. We’re both jealous of your new ride, we both loved it! Enjoy the ride and thanks for watching!
The 12.3" display is also available on the Limited trim level as an optional package.
Yes it is. We appreciate the clarification. Thanks for watching
Great review. I love the details and information. I subscribed and I’ll watch more videos from you guys. Keep the same style
Thanks. We love hearing that our videos were helpful. Welcome to the channel. Thanks for subscribing and thanks for watching!
Thank you
You're welcome and thanks for watching!
So helpful. Thanks.
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching
I have platinum 2021 it’s the best I love
Congratulations. It’s a great vehicle. Thanks for watching
Great video! I noticed halfway through your screen changed to red colored font. How can we change colors on the infotainment screen?
Thanks for the question and the kind words. You can adjust the color in "Themes". To access "Themes" press the "Home" button, then press the "Setup" button, scroll down until you see "Themes", and click on it. Now you can make color adjustments. Thanks for watching!
Good information, thank you. However, considering the screen size it makes no sense that you cannot expand your favorites such as Applecarplay or Nav.
We agree. If only....so many times we review a vehicle and we say “if only”. Maybe soon we’ll find a vehicle that checks all the boxes todays modern driver requires. Thanks for watching
Two Guys and a Ride So true! It just seems so obvious that highly paid engineers and designers just missed it, LOL.
You would think that someone as smart as an Engineer would have figured it out. Great Point you raise!
I'm back with another question !! Had sum one complain about no where to rest your arms on the driver or passenger door ? Any input on that ? They do seem narrow except for closer to the window buttons
Great! We didn’t notice this as an issue when we drove it. That being said, everyone has their own thoughts and opinions on what constitutes enough arm room. Here’s is a video we made of a full review of the exterior and interior you can view it here: czcams.com/video/UK10VGOIN3k/video.htmlsi=ItLhp-UDD9onzQBf. Right about 15:30 you get a good view of the arm rest, and at about 22:58 you get a good view of the arm rest. My best suggestion is to watch the video and see what you think. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
@@TwoGuysandaRide awesome I'll check it out !! Thanks
Other question , have you had any oil pan leaks or water pump or brake rotors warping ? I see sum have had those issues ! ,?
I personally own a 2015 Highlander with 154k miles and change the oil every 5k miles. I haven’t had any of those issues
Great video! I just got a 2021 Platinum. The Map Options list (pg. 84 in the navigation manual) is missing the speed limit option on my Highlander. Any idea why that would be? It’s also missing Predictive Efficient Drive but I assume that’s because it’s not a hybrid.
That's an interesting question. My thoughts are that it is not available yet, but may be in a future update. If you notice in the manual (pg. 85) it does not list a page number for details on that item, which is why I think its there for a future update. In terms of the PED not displaying, you are correct, it's because it's not a hybrid. Thanks for watching!
Hi, going from a 2017 highlander to this.... Did they get rid of the MAINTENANCE APP where I used to keep all my time between interval info? I really enjoyed that now it looks like I'm back to a piece of paper on the inside of the windshield? (Next oil Change due Mileage) thanks!!
Thanks for the question. That feature is still available if you get the premium model 12.3 inch display ( which should be standard on the platinum). On the infotainment screen swipe left (or right) and look for the “settings” icon. Click on it and then look for “maintenance “ click on it and there it will be. Thanks for watching!
Very informative video. Thanks for sharing. Appreciate it. Can you please tell me if we can see the distance to empty for the fuel on the big front panel screen or get a warning on the screen. Also in Canada I don't think the wifi option is here. The highlander is good but fuel economy seems high so far it is at like 12.4 I think should be under 10.
Thanks for the question. You can see the distance till empty on both the drivers information screen and the infotainment screen. Thanks for watching!
@@TwoGuysandaRide Can you tell me how because I see it on the driver information screen where it shows the speed but where do we go to set on the infotainment screen to show the distance to empty or get a warning
OK so go back to the video and skip ahead to 15:27 (just click on the number and it will take you right there) and watch till about 16:12 and you will see how to view all the trip information on the infotainment screen, including how many miles till empty. Thanks!
How do you change the unit(F or C)for the outside temperature display on the instrument cluster? Mine is on C and I can’t figure out how to change it.
Thanks for the question. To change the units of measurement (for example C to F) use the left steering wheel down arrow until you get the icon (4th one from top) that looks like a car with circle around the letter "i". Then use your right arrow to scroll to an icon that looks like a dashboard. now click and hold the "OK" button thats between all the arrows and you will see the word "Units". using the down arrow on the left side of the steering wheel, toggle down to it, then press "OK" again, that is where you will be able to change from Celcius to Farenheit ( it might say Metric and SAE). You can see all these steps (except I don't click on "Units") in the video starting at 11:40. Thanks for watching!
Is there a way to Make Waze Navigation by Phone or built in Navigation to be Full Screen?
Unfortunately the answer is you cannot. Those little side windows are always on the display, you can switch them from side to side but you cannot make the built-in Navigation or Waze completely full screen. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
@@TwoGuysandaRide just saw this maybe this works: www.toyotanation.com/threads/any-way-to-get-the-navigation-screen-to-remain-on-a-full-size-screen.1659268/
Thanks for sharing. We’ll see if we can try that idea out.
2020 Toyota Highlander Platinum Entertainment on the move time show video clip?
We don’t have a rear seat entertainment how to video but we did film an infotainment how to video- czcams.com/video/sKOSh4YBTHc/video.html
Hi, is there option to change the digital speedometer to km and on the AC display to C° ?
Yes, you can change the unit of measure to metric and all those items will automatically change. Thanks for watching!
I have the 2020 platinum, some how and some way I switched my miles to kilometers and I can’t get it to switch back to miles! I would appreciate any help.
Using the down arrow button on the left side of the steering wheel, while looking at the left side of your drivers Information screen, click it until you get to the icon that looks like a gear wheel. Should be the second from the bottom. Now you should see a row of icons across the top middle of the screen. Using your right arrow click until you get the the icon that looks like a dashboard. Now click the OK button. A list of options will show up below the icon. Using your down arrow, click down to “units” and click ok Now you should be able to change from Kph to mph. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
@@TwoGuysandaRide Thank you soooo much! I just ran downstairs to try it... your instructions were easy to follow and it worked!
Happy to help!
i just purchased the 4x4 GLE hybrid 2020, till now i can not use the wifi and applications, please help
Thanks for the question. To better help me understand the question can you tell me which applications you are referring to? As for the WiFi it is provided for free for a little while if your the original owner after that you will need to work through either AT&T or Verizon to continue using the WiFi. To set up the WiFi press “menu” button on infotainment screen, tap “set up”, tap WiFi, and turn WiFi on. The system should now ask you to name your vehicle hotspot so do that. It will also ask you to input a password, so go ahead and do that as well. Then turn on your phone, go to its WiFi settings and click on the name of your cars hotspot and enter the password. You should now be connected to your cars WiFi hotspot. Thanks for watching!
Hi I just Got a 2020 Highlander XLE non Navigation model. I am just wondering where to find the compass? Trying to look at the gauge under driving support but it does t show just like on the video. thanks so much
Thanks for the question. I’ll have to dig into that a bit but I’ll let you know tomorrow. Thanks for watching!
Ok after doing a little research from what I understand the compass is only available when you have the navigation option. The owners manual always refers to the compass as associated with navigational systems. I’ll keep digging around but that is what I have for now. Thanks for watching!
Two Guys and a Ride ohh thank you so much for looking this one for me so much appreciated. And your video is awesome super informative 😎
Am I able to SEEK the tuner without using stations list?
Yes. When the AM or FM audio source is selected, you will have seek or skip buttons that show up on the bottom of the screen. Thanks for watching!
Question on the rear view mirror , does it record ? & Have a memory card ?
Thanks for the question. No it does not record or have a memory card slot. Thanks for watching!
@@TwoGuysandaRide absolutely !! Thanks for the speedy reply back , I'm getting my notes together , I'm looking to get one come March or a touch later , all the info helps me out , so when I get it , I'm not so lost behind the wheel !!

@@TwoGuysandaRide I'm subscribed already !!!
@@johnbart8454 awesome, thanks
Please i wanted to asked does the screan play video?
Thanks for the question. It does not play DVD’s. Thanks for watching!
I would like to see a video covering specifically ADDRESS BOOK [additions & corrections] and Navigation. . I traded my 2015 for 2020 model and I can not figure "address book" . I stupidly selected the music Icon when I set up 'home' and now it drives me crazy every time I'm 1/2 mile from my home it sounds like an Ice Cream Truck. :( I WANT IT CHANGED!!!! Nothing in the manual under "address book'.
Also ... please! For us Technologically challenged ... you use terms like "HUD" and "ACL'.. ... To me HUD is housing and ACL is in my knee.
Lol! Thanks for the comment! We always love it when our viewers tell us what they’d like to see so we’ll certainly take your suggestions going forward as you make a good point. I’ll see what I can find to help you solve your ice cream truck problem. Thanks for watching !
Here is some information about trying to reset your "Home address to get rid of the music icon. You'r correct when you say there is no information in the manual about this so I've come up with two Options for you, just read through them both then decide which one you want to try:
1. Click on "Home" on the left, then "settings" on the screen, then "navigation" on the screen-(you may need to scroll down to see it). On the screen that pops up select "Home". My guess is there is probably an "Edit" or "delete" button next to it,
If there is an edit button, click on it, then click on "Icon" and see if you can delete it or select "no Icon". If that choice is available. Then click on "OK" in the bottom right to save it. If you don't see an "Edit" or "Delete" button skip to Option 2,
if fact if you see a "Delete button" click on that, it will ask you of you're sure, say yes, then go to option 2 below to re input your home address, this time without the musical icon.
2. To reset your "Home" in Navigation first press the "Menu" button, then click on "Setup". On the left scroll down till you see "Navigation" and click on it. On the screen that pops up-click on "Home". If your at home while doing this simply click "Current address" and "Accept" at the bottom left of the screen, OR if you are not at home click on the "address button" and enter your homes address then click on "Enter" at the bottom left of the screen. Now you can enter a custom name like "Tom's Place" or skip that part and it will automatically name it "Home". Make sure the "Location" address is correct, then click on "Icon". iF there is an Icon other than music leave it, or see if there is a spot to to choose no icon. Then press "OK" to save the address.
Hope this brings you some musical relief! Thanks for watching!
...but but you cant have full screen navi?
According to the manual, if you click on the Map, when its in a small window, it should become full screen. Thanks for watching!
I picked up my 2021 Highlander Platinum a few days ago. Can someone please tell me how to clear the radio cache? The replay? I cannot for the life of me figure it out, and I've watched quite a few videos and read the manual. The same song keeps showing on the screen, and the kicker is, I can't even play it! 😂
Thanks for the question. To turn off the automatic playback of cache in the radio go to the home screen first where you see all the apps on the screen, then select radio, then on the lefthand side you should see a list of things starting with "source", look down the list till you see "Options". click on it, then a new menu opens on the right. The top thing should "Auto Pause" make sure that is set to "off". That should clear it up for you, only don't blame me if you no longer have access to your favorite "silent radio" station:)! Thanks for watching!
Are any of the Hybrid owners of the 2020 Highlander making a loud squealing noise when the vehicle is started, and continues while driving down a residential street.. Answer would help me out very much.
Hopefully some of our viewers can help you out.
This still can’t not order pizza
But you can call DoorDash or UberEats for delivery. Thanks for watching
How do you load your cds
Thanks for the question. The highlander does not come with a CD player. It has Bluetooth, am/fm radio, HD radio, Apple CarPlay, android auto, XM radio, and Alexa. Thanks for watching!
I really wish I could take this car back..
Don’t like it?
May I ask why please ?
I'm looking at trading my Infiniti Qx to a highlander they seem the most reliable.
@@VeronicaSanchez-qn2cb best best is to check Consumer Reports for straight forward non biased reporting on any vehicle that you are considering.
Digital rear view mirror is longer available on platinum trim. What a rip off!!!! 😡😡😡😡
We're guessing that has to do with the Computer Chip portage. Hang in there, lots of features will return once the supply chain issues settle out. Thanks for watching
SUV it’s meant to Drive,not playing with Tech this cause more accidents,I’ll see lawsuits follow
Have you seen the interior of any new car? They are loaded with tech and our job is to try to help people understand that tech better and to set up the information that they need a head of time to make their drive more safe
Two gays and a ride? Wtf?
Yeah sure. Whatever floats your boat
