The wait for Android Auto is officially over for some Toyota owners, as dealerships have finally started installing a new firmware update that enables the app on select models.
Toyota may finally relent and allow Android Auto to work in its cars, according to Bloomberg. An official announcement reportedly could come as soon as next month.
Toyota is finally adding Android Auto support to its dashboards, with sources claiming a deal has been struck between Google and the Japanese automaker.
AppLink aka SmartDeviceLink has more than 70 apps available. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto? Fewer than a dozen each.
But while Ford is finally embracing CarPlay and Android Auto on even footing with AppLink, Toyota is still showing little interest in ceding control of the dashboard to Apple and Google.
It was kept this stance until this week at the Chicago Auto Show where Toyota announced that it was bringing Android Auto to five vehicles by the 2020 model year.
Toyota has released new updates for the official app on Android and iPhone, and just like usual, the company “forgot” to roll out a changelog too.
Toyota is teaming up with Ford and Livio to run its new app-based telematics system on the SmartDeviceLink platform, and is calling on other automakers to do the same.
Toyota announced it will offer the Linux-based Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) platform alongside Android Auto for the 2018 Camry.
Months, even years after most other brands, some Toyota models will finally get Android Auto integration for the 2020 model-year. Auto123.com has the info.
For those who prefer Google’s services, the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show revealed that Google Assistant is now available as an app in Android Auto.
