You think the Apple CarPlay Radio will mount into the 5th gen?

[jron4]

Why not use the "Hey siri" on your phone. It does the same things other than play what she is saying through the speakers. My phone is mounted on the dash most of the time. It would be nice to have but seems like a waste of money to upgrade the radio if you ask me

Question: Where did you put the Alpine microphone? - I want to do this, but I want it to look factory and neat and clean. Do you mind posting a wider angle shot?

-thanks-

I followed this video for the install and saw that they put the mic in the overhead console. Really does well at picking up my voice even with the windows down at a reasonable speed. The radio looks factory, really nice fit and finish.

Just bought a 2016 SR5 Premium and my wife drives a 2018 VW Tiguan. I love the Apple Car Play in it and I miss it dearly in the 4Runner. I like it just for Spotify on the screen with all of my playlists and the browse feature.

The Alpine is sharp. Pricey, but it would be worth it to me. I use it all the time in my current vehicle. I’m trying to decide if I want to wait until Toyota adds it or just go with aftermarket and buy now.

How’s the sound quality with the Alpine? I assume it’s better than factory?

You'd think it would be relatively simple to install but hey what do I know? I wish they would

New 8 inch screen and new instrument cluster shown in this video (starts at 7:00min):

And of course it's still 5th GENERATION!

that's cool, the big question is will it swap easily to prior year models??

also noticed the gauge cluster is quite a bit different.

This. Subscribed. Hopefully it’s plug and play with just the addition of a new trim piece.

Also curious if the gauge cluster could be swapped. I just picked up a 19 because I’m weird and I love having a key and hate driver aids.... but could use some new tech to make the experience that much better while maintaining simplistic mechanicals.

I'm with you on this one. I am hopeful that the 2020 unit is just plug and play. I really want Apple CarPlay but I don't want to go aftermarket. It'd be nice to get the update cluster but I think its asking to much at this point.

 

[pickett]

I have faith it’ll be plug and play with some absurd price tag from the stealership [emoji23]. But who am I kidding if it has car play, I’d probably pay.

In for updates on swapability with the 2020 infotainment stack.

Definitely interested in this as well... That Alpine HU is nice but takes up real estate in front of the vents and not integrating w/ the factory mic is meh.

Ya I totally agree. I think that Alpine Halo looks terrible.

Yep, might as well have an iPad there, it would be more useful and you could take it with you.

The 2020 Head Unit will probably cost something close to $4,500 from the dealership.

Depending on what year truck you have, it would probably be cheaper to trade your truck in for a 2020 rather than swap HU's.

So, for 2020 the Apple Play replaces Entune...correct?

$4500! No way. I can get a custom box with 10s , new speakers and amp for that! I can maybe see it close to $1000

 

[jhguth]

it's a factory OEM head unit, it will absolutely cost more than $1k

the current 5th gen unit, non apple carplay, has a OEM list price of $4,313.96. If you went to your dealership and needed to replace it for the exact same unit you had, no upgrades or anything, it would cost way over $1k.

OEM head units will cost whatever the dealer wants to charge you. That's the way the world works.
