    I’ve been all over the site and I see where people have tried bypassing the in motion locks on manual inputs to CarPlay for inputting addresses or browsing music and I don’t see that it’s been figured out for the 2020 yet. I’m I wrong? Is it out and I’m not seeing it? I have the non jbl unit, I already have the Rear - Front camera controller that uses steering wheel controls to show my cameras while moving but when we’re on the road and need to find things, my wife can’t search navigation or enter addresses that she found on her phone into my phone so i can get us there. She can’t even change the music or put on a podcast! It’s very frustrating because we bought the damned truck to drive back and forth across the country, it’s pretty lame to have to pull over every time you want to change the radio. Anyone have a fix for this on the 2020 yet?

    I use voice commands to do all of these things.

    But this is one of the reasons I am not sold on carplay or android auto. Its a nice interface, but I cant do much other than listen to what it wants to do. I have a full android headunit, so I can search, browse the internet, watch movies, anything while driving (not that I do many of those things). But when I tried android auto, I had to use my phone to search for music, carplay was the same.

    It’s the factory radio that has the limitations set, not the service in general. I use the same phone in my two vehicles and the factory radio does as described above, touch screen options are limited, but in my Tacoma (2009) which has a Kenwood I can do whatever the hell I want and it doesn’t care. That vehicle does not have a GPS chip however, just the radio does, and the parking brake wire is grounded, so that may be the actual difference.

    That doesn’t mean you can’t control your shit though, both the truck’s voice control assistant (mine is named Juicy and she sounds like a total whore) and Siri will respond to voice control commands and change your inputs, stations, albums, songs, map requests, etc. Siri will allow you to have a voice to text conversation, but Juicy is receive only, which only happens if I'm connected bluetooth but not using Carplay.

    I will admit that I had Juicy for about a month before I even knew she was there. I had assumed the button was for initiating a phone call and to my surprise, that slut Juice responded and that’s when I found out the truck has its own sort of Toyota Siri/Alexa.

    I did see that there are a couple products that bypass vehicle motion limitations. VIASTECH makes one, which is a company I believe is decent as I've used their Sharkfin adapter a few times and while it's not much, it is a good solid product. Essentially, a bypass is something you install inline, like you would the Add-an-Amplifier / DSP harness.

    I only looked out of curiosity though because it seems like something you mostly don't need because yes, it's annoying to be subjugated upon with shackles of safety restrictions, which I think is bullshit, but only for me because I'm awesome and flawless and The BIG TECH MAN shouldn't be holding ME down. I feel differently about everybody else who sucks balls and drives dangerously and constantly looks at their fucking phones, swerving, not maintaining pace and unknowingly damn near killing 16.562 people on their commute every day. I will especially feel differently about this "valet mode" when my grandchildren start driving. I was really nervous about this when my daughter was a new driver, but it turned out okay, she only totaled 4 cars so maybe my concerns are/were unfounded.
