However, Toyota Motor Corp introduced it again during the North American International Auto Show.

As Naoshige Shimizu over at techon.nikkeibp.co.jp recently reported, the Entune system – which features Apple iPhone and Android integration that allows you to use smartphone apps – will first appear in the upcoming Toyota Prius V, which is due to be released this summer in North America.

With the new Entune system, apps that have been developed for smartphones such as the Apple iPhone, for many things such as reserving restaurants, booking movie tickets and playing Internet radio, can be operated via the touch-sensitive screen featured on the car’s navigation system.

According to Chris Shunk over on the autoblog.com website, the 2012 Toyota Prius V is an inch wider and five inches longer than the O.G. Prius. It comes with 38 inches of rear leg room, 34.4 cubic feet of boot space, and is said to do 42 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg on the highway.

Another interesting product that was unveiled during the CES 2011 yesterday is Toyota’s new Entune Multimedia System. According to Mic Wright at electricpig.co.uk, the Toyota Entune system allows you to hook up your smartphone – such as the Apple iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S – to the vehicle, using an app and Bluetooth.

It then gives you access to a dashboard of different mobile apps including Bing Maps, weather, fuel prices, music apps and even movie ticket and restaurant reservations. The apps are all displayed on a touchscreen that is set into the dashboard of your Toyota vehicle.

The Toyota Entune system features an iheartradio app, which provides users with over 750 hometown stations, XM satellite radio and HD radio. It also features USB connectivity and voice recognition, so the driver can keep his focus on the road ahead.
