Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa are coming to the 2019 Toyota Camry and 2019 Toyota Sienna

 

Toyota has always been at the forefront of automotive technology, whether it be safety or entertainment related. Earlier this year we learned that Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa support were coming to a whole host of 2019 Toyota vehicles including the Avalon, Corolla Hatchback, and RAV4. Recently, the company announced that the latest models to be receiving this treatment would be the Camry sedan and Sienna minivan. Since these are two of the most popular Toyota models, it only makes sense that they would be the next vehicles in the Toyota fleet to get Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa support. Learn more about Toyota’s CarPlay and Alexa support below and then come find out more at Peruzzi Toyota.

If you’re not familiar with Apple CarPlay, it’s a great feature of iOS that makes using your phone in the car much easier and safer. Rather than looking down at your hand-held phone which is dangerous and illegal, CarPlay allows you to get all the great features of your iPhone or iPod on the Entune 3.0 touchscreen display system right in the center console of your Toyota vehicle.

In order to activate CarPlay on your 2019 Toyota vehicle, you just need an iOS device connected via a USB cable to the vehicle’s entertainment system. For Alexa support, users need an Android device that is equipped with Android 5.0 or higher. Alexa support for iOS devices will be coming in early 2019.

Toyota is one of the first vehicle manufacturers to introduce Amazon Alexa support, typical of Toyota’s commitment to staying on the cutting edge of technological developments. Since Apple CarPlay was first announced by Toyota in January 2018, the company has been hard at work transforming the Entune 3.0 infotainment system to make it compatible with both systems. The Entune 3.0 also features a built-in modem that can provide you with Wi-Fi on the go.
