Wired CarPlay / Wired Android auto.

Why & How ?

Why?

Both CarPlay & Android Auto grants NAV with latest map, via Google / Apple Map and Waze.

Not to mention that media players like Spotify / iTunes / Audible / and those Digital Radio / podcast apps.

None of Toyota models came with CarPlay / Android Auto till 2019,

although activation package was introduced later on,

Prado , Kluger and LC200 are still not compatible nor supported.

With our integration product,

All of those can be integrated into the existing audio setup

How?

CarPlay & Android Auto will be installed as form of an 'external device' that attaches to the headunit.

It is an aftermarket product hence doesn't work exactly same as the factory fitted one in current Toyota models.

Having said that, it will only play sound via AUX (external media input) and won't do fade in / out.

Nor sync with voice command function button on the steering wheel.

However It still uses the original touch screen and sound system.
