Toyota's design of their dash mounted "infotainment" display screen software requires reentry of a 6 digit pin any time vehicle internet connectivity is lost. This interrupts the map routing display that appears on the display screen through sources such as apple carplay. This toyota software designed interruption of the route display represents a safety hazard in that it prompts the driver to take their eyes off the road to screw around with entering a 6 digit pin code. Worse still, according to toyota documentation, every time vehicle internet connectivity is interrupted, this same prompt to enter a pin is displayed. Apple carplay and i'm sure other map apps are not designed so poorly as to require the driver to reauthenticate their credentials upon loss of internet connectivity. I feel the design of toyota's infotainment system software represents an unacceptable safety risk to american drivers.
