But to be honest with you, the t9 has some issues which I had to work with the CTH group on FB to resolve.
1. I was getting no audio. I had to go into the settings and set an option to another mode. Once I switched it, I got audio.
2. Initially my CarPlay has only 4 icons across. I had to update the Tlink app to get the 5 icons.
3. I think there’s something wrong with my canbus. So I’ll either get audio that fades down and up or sometimes no audio. I have to unplug the canbus to stop the audio fading. CTH is sending me another canbus.
4. In CarPlay mode, sometimes Siri can’t read back my messages. She can’t access the internet. I ordered an add on wireless CarPlay dongle. I’m hoping, it will fix the issue. Currently I’m using the native wireless CarPlay which comes With the t9.
So those where/are my main 4 issues . Basically I fixed 2/4 so far. But the support is really good so far. I mainly use it for FM and CarPlay. I know this thing has many other android apps which I haven’t tried yet, perhaps later.
If your a type of person who likes to tinker and debug things, the t9 is for you. But if you want an out of the box hassle free stereo, then the t9 is not for you  |
Well, what I really want is my 2018 to last until the 6th gen and even a couple years longer - wireless CarPlay would be such a big deal for me to hold me over for the next few years.
Thanks for the info. I think I'll wait to hear back from you on the two issues you're still working out. Then maybe I'll go for it. I think it looks even better than the actual 2020 interface so I'd be super happy with it if it works properly.

I wish Toyota would get it together somewhat on the electronics side. My wife drives the F-Pace, took her car in the other day, they downloaded an update, and now she has Android auto and car play and they completely updated her entire screens all with a single update.
Not sure why it's so difficult.
Don't get me wrong, I love my 4runner, just trying to understand why they don't come stock with LED highlights or have the ability to roll out updates etc.

Did you ever think that the F-Pace rear window doesn't go down. Boom!

Apparently 'fine scratch' polish works on getting rid of the scratches. I am about to find what is recommended and buy it. Will report back on results.

How much are you looking to get for the Beatsonic and how old?

Gaia gps
Can you view GAIA GPS maps on any of these solutions? Does the Alpine have the functionality to use the GAIA app or is there a solution for this? Thanks.

Yep, I've had the GAIA GPS app running on my 2020, it was a little clunky to get set up and working but ultimately it worked.

Sorry to bump an older thread! I am looking to upgrade my 2015 headunit for a 2020+ headunit with factory integrated Android Auto. Do all 2020+ come with built in Android Auto? If not, which trim/model/year should I lookout for? TIA!
