Well this is interesting. I purchased a 2018 Toyota Camry in August (first ever car purchase), and I absolutely love everything about it except the Toyota Entune 3.0 system. Lack of apps, useless Scout GPS navigation gimmick, and it doesn't even show album cover art while you're driving.
When I was comparing cars, the lack of CarPlay was the only (massive) downside with the Camry, but the other features of the car were so good that I went with it in spite of it.
I wonder what AGL means for the driver. I would love to tweak the OS myself, but I doubt Toyota would let a customer flash their own version of the code (at least not without violating the warranty). I suppose it could mean more frequent updates with better features. Curious to see how this plays out.

- twblalock 9y agoI'm a happy Prius owner, but I bought mine before CarPlay existed. I'm not sure I would buy another Prius to replace my current one, primarily because of the lack of CarPlay and Android Auto. The Entune interface just isn't very good, and it's not going to get better. This isn't unique to Toyota -- no matter how good the system in your car is, it will seem very outdated after 5 years. In contrast, CarPlay and Android auto are great now and will improve with software updates over time.
- BoorishBears 9y agoThe lack of CarPlay made the Volt vs Prius Prime a pretty easy choice. That... and the design of the Prime, but I digress.
