CarPlay & more

For the 2020 model year pickups from Toyota in the US, the company is finally adding in support for Apple CarPlay, as well as Android Auto and Amazon Alexa. Something very good to hear is that CarPlay will be standard on each pickup, but the screen size available will be different depending on selected trim level.

All TRD Pro models feature upgraded multimedia systems that include Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Amazon Alexa compatibility. The Tundra, Tacoma and 4Runner TRD Pros will all rely on an 8-inch touchscreen, while the Sequoia TRD Pro will feature a 7-inch touchscreen. In addition, all grades of 2020 Sequoia, Tundra, 4Runner and Tacoma will utilize this updated audio system, though screen size may vary between models.
