GM's CarPlay replacement doesn't work well, and has a long road ahead of it
Toyota may offer CarPlay again, but they make it difficult. I recently rented a car. I had a choice of cars in my chosen category on the lot. I picked a Toyota initially. I tried to connect CarPlay and found I needed to create an account with Toyota that included entering the car’s VIN. When attempting to jump through the account creation hoops, I received a message that this was a fleet car, and I couldn’t create an account allowing CarPlay access. I immediately collected my luggage and backpack, moved over to a Kia Soul, connected to CarPlay in seconds, and drove off to the car rental exit. Lesson learned about Toyota.
