Not only is the nav mediocre, it's stupid - I can't even count how many times I was on a highway/thruway, going to a location directly off an exit, and it would instead try to route me off the highway onto a sidestreet (at 30mph) for the rest of the drive there, over an hour away. It's crap.
Apple Carplay on the unit is horrible, too. %90 of the functions are either turned off or nerfed - try trying to find an album on your phone if you have a bunch on there, or play a specific playlist that the head unit hasn't decided to hide - you get a static list of like 15 of each and that's it (maybe even less than that). If you manually fiddle with the phone you can get whatever you want to play - which entirely obviates the point of Apple Carplay in the first place. When you stop the car, full Carplay functionality is restored...but when you're moving, all the functionality gets shut down.
I actually have a separate window/dash-mounted Garmin GPS unit in the car that I use instead for nav, and for now I mainly listen to Sirius/XM because I paid for it, and it's less aggravating to use than Toyota's implementation of Carplay.
I'm seriously debating getting a Pioneer AVIC headunit and finally getting a decent in-car GPS unit as well as something that'll correctly interface with the phone and let me play _all_ of my music whenever the hell I want, vs only letting me find things when I'm stopped (or manually using the phone when I'm driving, which I really don't want to do)
