Even though Ford SYNC is now facing criticism that it’s distracting for the driver to use, Toyota decided to come up with a similar system for their new models!

It’s called the Toyota Entune and will debut at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), offering some new and innovative items never seen before in an in-car connectivity system.

Toyota Entune leverages the customer’s mobile phone to create a rich in-vehicle experience that offers fully integrated and upgradeable entertainment, navigation, and information services. It even has voice command system for hands-free operation.

Toyota Entune is wirelessly upgradeable, so in-vehicle applications are never obsolete.  Ensuring that nearly all customers can take advantage of this new technology, Toyota Entune is compatible with a wide variety of mobile phones with a data plan.  Toyota Entune key features include:
