    How many of you have put in aftermarket infotainment centers with CarPlay/AndroidAuto support? What model did you get? What functionality did you lose (e.g. rear backup cam, steering wheel control, car settings, etc.)?

    I know the push to start Tacomas have some settings related to the keyless entry that you have to adjust on the front display. Do the manual Tacomas have any settings like that?

    I have a Pioneer AVIC 5100NEX and I lost no functionality. Steering wheel buttons work, backup cam displays as normal, and GPS works better than it did before, though still not as well as using Waze. I gained a full EQ, crossover adjustment, high/lo pass on both door speakers and subs... Lots of adjustability gained through using an aftermarket head unit.
    I have a manual tacoma, and my truck did not have any adjustments such as those you mentioned through the head unit.

    Which app are you using for GPS Navigation on the new head unit? Did the new head unit come with its own GPS navigation?

    I know if you're on iOS, you can only use Apple Maps because that's all that CarPlay opens up to us.

    Yes it came with it's own GPS app, but I usually use Waze on my phone while playing music over Bluetooth connection
