How to get Wireless CarPlay on Toyota Tundra 2022 ?
I just got my Binize device today and had it up and running literally in minutes in my Toyota Tundra 2022. I normally use Apple CarPlay but wanted to be able to get to some Android apps and have more overall flexibility than Apple allows. With the Binize device you simply plug it in, wait for the prompt, continue, and after a quick reboot you're in to Android Auto. Setup your wifi and you're off to the races. To top it off, they even have a way to switch to Apply CarPlay right from Android Auto which I was pleasantly surprised to see. It's great to be able to use either of those and switch between them easily.
The only issues I've hit so far has been trying to drag and drop some icons around on the screen. I'll get a message about an app (likely a background service) having an issue but it's a minor problem. There's a firmware update I can do that may fix that. Aside from that issue, calls work great, music works great, and I can even install apps like Netflix, Vudu, HBO Max, YouTube, etc. (not to be used while driving of course - although they work fine....my son tried a YouTube video as a passenger).
I reached out to their tech support about a firmware update and received a reply back in literally 5 minutes. I was very surprised and impressed by that since getting customer service from a vendor on Amazon is normally challenging. The person helping me sent the info I needed and was very responsive and nice to interact with.
We'll see how it works out over time especially since I live in an area that gets really hot in the summer, but I'm hoping it holds up well. So far it has exceeded my expectations - glad I decided to buy it.
Update:
I was skeptical at first as it seems to good to be true, but it delivers. I have a new Toyota Tundra 2022 and as good as CarPlay is and Toyota’s proprietary system is I knew there had to be a product that delivered more. This one does. It basically turns your screen into a tablet with all the features you would expect on a iPad or chrome book. You have the ability to toggle from Android auto to CarPlay to Toyota’s proprietary system. It has a learning curve only because of how robust the capabilities are. I reached out to customer support on something I couldn’t figure out and spoke with a great representative who walked me through the process to update, and provide and easy to follow video. I always do research before buying and all the positive reviews on this product are warranted.
We just used it for a 7 hour road trip and had zero issues. Ran both google maps and YouTube/YouTube tv simultaneously. Quick and responsive touch controls. Also didn’t interfere with factory stuff like camera, etc. Looks amazing on the Toyota Tundra 2022 14” screen- great purchase!
