    Has anyone tried this yet? I installed a similar unit in my 2014 Camry last weekend and love having Apple CarPlay.
    Wired and wireless so now tempted to maybe get this for the taco

    Dumb question…what happens to the heat/ac controls and all those other buttons under the original screen? Does the new screen incorporate them somehow?

    Jeez how do they fit that in there? I cant imagine wanting to see that much information or wipe off that many fingerprints.

    Besides as your eyes go lower and lower away from the windshield, at what point does that affect your driving. I can just operate my knobs by feel. (thats what she said)
