Toyota Expanding CarPlay to 2020 Tacoma, Tundra, Sequoia, and 4Runner

Toyota today ahead of the Chicago Auto Show announced (https://pressroom.toyota.com/releases/2020+toyota+sequoia+trd+pro+opens+path+family+adventures+leads+charge+updates+on+all+trd+pro+models.htm) that its 2020 model year Tacoma, Tundra, Sequoia, and 4Runner vehicles will feature CarPlay (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/carplay/), Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa in the United States.

<!---->CarPlay<!----> will be a standard feature in each vehicle, but screen size will vary by trim. With the 2020 Tacoma (https://pressroom.toyota.com/releases/2020+toyota+tacoma+positioned+to+continue+segment+leadership+with+host+of+new+upgrades.htm), for example, the base SR trim will feature a 7-inch touchscreen while SR5 trims and higher as well as TRD Pro trims of the Tundra, Sequoia, and 4Runner will feature a larger 8-inch touchscreen.





The press release doesn't specify whether the <!---->CarPlay<!----> implementation is wired or wireless, but it is presumably wired in line with its 2019 and newer Avalon, Corolla Hatchback, Camry, RAV4, Sienna, and C-HR. Toyota will offer wireless CarPlay in the 2020 Supra (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/01/14/2020-toyota-supra-wireless-carplay/) since it is based on a BMW platform.





Last year, we published an in-depth review of how <!---->CarPlay<!----> performs in the 2019 Avalon and 2019 Corolla Hatchback (https://www.macrumors.com/2018/04/23/toyota-avalon-corolla-hatch-carplay/).





Toyota was one of the last major automakers to offer <!---->CarPlay<!---->, which provides convenient dashboard access to iPhone apps such as Phone, Messages, Apple Maps (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-maps/), Google Maps, Waze, Apple Music (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-music/), and Spotify. These will be the first-ever Tacoma, Tundra, Sequoia, and 4Runner models with factory-installed <!---->CarPlay<!---->.





<!---->CarPlay<!----> availability in Toyota vehicles may vary outside of the United States. Pricing and availability were not disclosed.

In related news, Volkswagen this week announced (https://www.volkswagen-newsroom.com/en/press-releases/premiere-at-geneva-motor-show-the-new-passat-will-be-the-first-volkswagen-to-offer-partially-automated-driving-at-cruising-speed-4627) that the 2020 Passat will be its first vehicle with wireless <!---->CarPlay<!---->, although the press release is for the European market. It's unclear if or when Volkswagen will offer wireless <!---->CarPlay<!----> in the United States or other countries—we've reached out to ask.





<!---->CarPlay<!----> enthusiasts may remember that Apple apparently prevented Volkswagen from demoing wireless CarPlay (https://www.macrumors.com/2016/01/08/apple-prevented-volkswagen-carplay/) way back at CES 2016 for reasons unknown.
