apple car play

hi it there any way to get apple car play on my 2019 trd sport, the dealer told me there are no updates and the only thing I can find online is a 2,000 dollar all-new radio.

 

Aftermarket is your best bet.

 

Maybe if you stick around long enough you can find somebody replacing their stock head unit out of a 2020 or 2021.

 

If it works anywhere near as well as most other Toyota heads we are not missing much.

 

I switched the shitty entune for a 2019 Sienna Head Unit. Read my post info for most of the questions you may have.

 

I'm sure that head unit is very expective and is there any wiring or is it all plug and play

 

640 total for me plug and play​

 

where did you get on and can I order it

 

I located it from a salvage yard online. Are you JBL or non-JBL?

 

Plenty to pick from. I picked wireless Apple Car Play

I spoke to a guy at my local dealership. He stated (no idea if he's correct) that Toyota offered some type of Software "patch" for Siennas and another model, which enables Car Play. No idea if that will be offered at some point for Tacos like mine (2019).

 

I can guarantee you Toyota will never offer that. It’s one of the main reason people are switching to the 20 & 21 model. And Toyota is making stupid money off them.

 

The apple car play update is not offered on the Tacoma. There are a lot of affordable aftermarket options out there that will actually perform much better than OEM units in my opinion.

This is the unit I went with https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...e-carplay-wireless-and-oem-audio-plus.620897/. The installation instructions were nonexistent, but I’m very happy with it.

They actually come with fairly decent instructions now, too.
Super close to plug and play at this point.

 

Would be cool if they did.

I highly doubt people are trading in their vehicle just for Apple car play and Android Auto when it’s a lot cheaper just to swap the head unit out.
Hyundai actually did this a few years ago. My friend got Apple CarPlay added to his 3 year old car for $200.
