Toyota Compliance – AutoHub's Online Widget

This document outlines the necessary steps and considerations for implementing the AutoHub widget on Toyota dealership websites. It is essential for dealerships to adhere to Toyota's compliance standards and follow the approval process to ensure a smooth integration.

After discussions with Toyota, it has been confirmed that AutoHub’s implementation is permissible, provided that the dealership explicitly requests it through their regional representative. The following points summarize the compliance standards and approval steps agreed upon:

• Toyota allows dealerships to utilize solutions outside of the approved ecosystem.

• AutoHub is recognized and approved through this channel.

• It is advised to avoid using the term “pilot program” when describing the approval process.

To initiate the process of adding the AutoHub widget to a Toyota dealership website, the following steps must be taken:

• Dealerships must coordinate with their regional Toyota representative to begin the approval process for the widget.

• Toyota mandates that Calls to Action (CTAs) placed on Search Results Pages (SRPs) and Vehicle Detail Pages (VDPs) do not interfere with SmartPath functionality.

• It is important to note that AutoHub's widget does not integrate with SmartPath.

For a successful implementation of the AutoHub widget, the following support measures are recommended:

• The dealership’s website provider should be involved in the setup process.

• It is beneficial to include the dealership's dedicated website representative and the Toyota regional representative in the implementation discussions, if possible.

• A pre-approval email will be sent to the dealership as confirmation before AutoHub proceeds with implementation through the website providers.

By following these guidelines, Toyota dealerships can effectively integrate the AutoHub widget while ensuring compliance with Toyota's standards.
