Who wants Apple CarPlay or Android Auto?
Guys, not sure if anyone has done this but I started a petition to get Toyota to adopt Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. As we all know, this would not replace Entune for those that like it. Rather, it would give us Toyota owners the option of how we'd like to interface with our electronic data.

I actually had better luck just using a tablet as a head unit instead of Android auto. It's still new and lacking in features that I would like to see.

I just listen to AM... with my balance set to front.... with my fader set to right... and my equalizer set for all treble and no mid or bass. Sounds fine.

I could see this becoming a software add-on where you could choose whether you want Entune or your specified phone hooked up. I am considering the new Alpine iLX-107 as an upgrade to get my Apple Carplay. I only have the stock head unit without navigation and don't mind ripping it out though.

I have used CarPlay. While not perfect, it's better than Entune.

True. What annoyed me was my wife would pick up my phone to surf for music and it would take the GPS off screen. Maybe it was user error.

Yep, me too ... but what is this 'balance', 'fader', and 'equalizer' you speak of?
Does it make Limbaugh sound better?

Jumping on board
I don't normally do these, but in this case, I'm on board. The Entune system, in its current state, is simply unusable crap.

Yep AM / CB for traffic radio in the Hampton Roads / Richmond area, FM for Radio Hatteras when in Salvo for local stuff and use my phone with WAZE for navigating. 'Course nuthin' sounds good cause I have hearing aids.

The biggest complaint I've heard from someone that has Carplay is the lack of Waze integration. Seems like an oversight to not be able to simply mirror the screen for 3rd party apps.

Apple isn't going to give a Google product center stage, that's not an oversight
A change.org petition won't make a difference though

When I was shopping around for head units I saw many of them had both Apple and Android on them. I'm pretty sure the operating system is manufacturer specific, Apple and Android work like apps.
