Wireless CarPlay...Does it well?

I believe it is only on TRD Pro (and maybe limited?)

 

I knew that extra 12-14K I spent was for something….lol

 

its funny how something doesn't seem like a big deal until you don't have it...auto climate control - seat memory - auto headlights
first world problems i guess

 

Memory seats are only a dream! I got the pro thinking I wanted an off-road ready truck with a few of the creature comforts I’ve gotten used to in bimmers and Audis (cameras, heated seats, pre-sense, auto-cruise) that I wouldn’t modify. Now here I am with sliders about to put springs on, picking a low-pro bumper. Easy to get carried away, but love these trucks and the community!

 

crazy - i went from a BMW 540msport - culture shock for sure - i hated the way it drove at first - now i have about 400 miles and its growing on me - i really like it
i just have to give myself a little more room to make moves...lol
i replaced the shocks before i had to put gas in it for the fist time...

 

Audi SQ5 for and 335is coupe before that for. I am a year in and 15k miles with the 4Runner; putting Eibach springs on at the end of the month to level it out, gain a little clearance (I get out on the trails once or twice per month) and firm up the ride. My wife loves how much slower I drive in the 4Runner... I do it half for safety and half for saving the MPGs. I used to love the speed, now I am getting my thrills (only easy to intermediate trails) off-roading. I would say it is more fun now, just a different kind.

 

same on the wife part - no need to drive aggressive it doesn't do that - just like the BMW didn't go off road
i agree - it just different

 

I use the Motorola dongle in my '20 4RNR. Only issue I've had is in ONE geographical location while I drive out into the country it likes to loose and re-stablish the connection. The dongle has been great in every other aspect and seems to get better with each Android and Android Auto update, probably because it's the go to adapter for Android.

I couldn’t have said it better, after about 400 miles it became my daily driver for in the city and I drive my Lexus when I’m putting on highway miles. So I guess that means I’m getting 16 city and 32 highway. A deciding factor was this past week I went over a manhole cover that had a 4” drop on a newly paved street in the city while driving the Lexus. It was sharp and jarring; if I had been in the 4Runner…. I wouldn’t have even paid attention.

 

I’m not sure about the other year models and trim but the 2023 TRD Pro does have: Heated seats and heated steering which I love, cross traffic alert while reversing which works well, Auto dimming High beam - I don’t use this on either of my cars I guess because I like being in control, auto cruise, lane departure which I don’t use, and crappy cameras for reverse and birds eye view. I’m pretty sure I had a pre-sense warning come on the other day when I was driving aggressive and closing in on the car in front of me at the light. I could be getting confused with my other car.

 

it only come on a limited or pro

 

That's a LIMITED -TRD PRO standard.

 

Been using mine since '21 and love it. Mine is the CarlinkKit 2.0 from Amazon.

 

Pro or Limited.

Motorola MA1 adapter I mentioned earlier? I use that with Spotify for every drive and when I turn off the 4RNR to exit the vehicle, its a 50/50 chance my phone keeps playing Spotify. Does anyone else experience this or have a fix? I'm using the latest Android Auto software on a Pixel 7 Pro
