[DigitalToday Jin-ho Lee] LG Uplus is upgrading its connected-car service 'Toyota Connect' and installing it in Toyota's sport utility vehicle model, the 'All New RAV4'.

Toyota Connect, developed by LG Uplus in cooperation with Toyota Motor Korea, is a platform based on the integrated infotainment service 'U+ Drive'. It provides navigation, music streaming, TV content and voice recognition.

The upgraded Toyota Connect features added entertainment content and new navigation. LG Uplus installed 'Toyota TV', which lets users watch various real-time channels and video-on-demand content in the vehicle. It also added the curation-based music service 'Essential', allowing playback of playlists across various themes.

LG Uplus also applied a hybrid navigation system that supports both online and offline environments. Hybrid navigation provides uninterrupted guidance even in areas where communications are not smooth, helping drivers operate more reliably.

LG Uplus plans to continue updating the Toyota Connect service. It will work closely with Toyota Motor Korea so Toyota Connect can be applied to models after the All New RAV4.

Joon-hyung Bae (배준형), head of LG Uplus' Mobility Business TF, said, "We will continue to develop a range of in-vehicle services, including infotainment, and lead innovation in customers' car life."
