What Owners Say
"Apple CarPlay software has flaws. Phone calls are chopped up into fragments. System doesn't always connect on first try. I manually updated the software from Toyota's website with the most recent version which corrected some of the problems. I wish the manufactures would take more responsibility to keep software up to date for a few years after purchase."
