My 2004 Toyota has the most reliable and intuitive phone integration I've seen, far better than the Tesla "everything is one screen so you need to look down and click through menus to find the toggle you want", and the CarPlay "Oh you're in a car? Let's give you a giant screen way below the normal eye level to distract you, then purposefully disable a ton of arbitrary features to make it more "safe", even if it means you take way longer with your eyes off the road to work around all the limitations they impose."
I have a magnetic phone charger suctioned to the windshield, and I installed a bluetooth integration into the stock head unit. The phone UI is the exact one I use day to day, I don't ever have to take my eyes off the road, and all the normal car functionality is physical buttons and switches whose positions I've memorized.
