Syncing the Toyota/Lexus app

Q: Why can’t I access SiriusXM streaming (360L) in my vehicle, and I only hear satellite-only channels?

A: To enable the full 360L streaming experience, you must complete three main steps using your Toyota or Lexus mobile app:

1. Install the Toyota/Lexus App and sign in.

2. Add and Activate your vehicle in the app.

3. Accept the SiriusXM terms and consent in the app.

4. Ensure Vehicle data sharing and Location data sharing are enabled in your vehicle's settings.

 

Troubleshooting Specific Messages

Q: I see a screen in my vehicle that says I need to go to the Toyota/Lexus app.

A: This message usually appears if you declined the SiriusXM consent in the mobile app. To resolve this:

1. Open the Toyota/Lexus app and tap Profile (top right).

2. Tap Account > Privacy Portal and Legal Info.

3. Tap Vehicle Specific Settings > SiriusXM > Manage Consent.

4. Select Accept, then tap Confirm.

5. Return to your vehicle and reopen SiriusXM.

Q: I see the message “Welcome to SiriusXM… SAT-only.”

A: This means your mobile app setup or vehicle activation is not complete.

1. Download the Toyota/Lexus app and create an account (if needed).

2. Add your vehicle in the app.

3. Tap Activate Vehicle in the app and finish the onboarding process.

4. Be sure to Accept the SiriusXM terms/consent when prompted.

5. Return to your vehicle and reopen SiriusXM.

Q: I see the message “Unable to play SiriusXM content due to Privacy Settings.”

A: This indicates that required data-sharing settings are disabled in your vehicle.

1. On the message screen, tap Privacy Settings.

2. Turn on Vehicle data sharing and Location data sharing.

Alternatively, you can go to Settings (Gear icon) > Profile > Privacy and enable both toggles.

Q: How do I know if my streaming (360L) is active?

A: When you select SiriusXM as your audio source, look for the following features:

• Browse

• For You

• On Demand

• All Channels

If these features are visible, your streaming services are active. If you still only see satellite-only channels, re-check the steps above.
