Toyota Corolla is Finally Getting CarPlay

They all eventually cave, just like Apple Pay.

A $19,500 Corolla. Welcome to the future. I guess relative to most new cars (I think ASP of USA new car sales in 2018 was like $37,000), the Corolla is still a bargain but 20K for a Corolla seems like a practical joke.

Pickup buyers in the US are paying 61% more than 10 years ago.

CarPlay is nice, but without wireless, to me it’s useless. I would rather go aftermarket since they now offer wireless CarPlay.

I just got CarPlay in a new car (Jeep Grand Cherokee). It is truly excellent. An unsung part of the Apple ecosystem

That said, I wish I had wireless CarPlay. I consistently forget to plug my iPhone in before driving off. I now see how a wireless version would be the way to go

Wow, useless? I would think it would have some utility, like playing music, provide directions, and since it's wired it would also charge your phone while you do all that.

if you want to go aftermarket, my recommendation is to avoid Toyota. their headunits are too tightly integrated to the dash and cars electronics they're not easily replaced.. but this has been a trend for most manu's so i dunno what else is an option.

I think I paid a little more than that for my Camry when I bought it new in 2009

the pricing of these new cars is insanity. I bought a 2012 SE 4cyl fully loaded, with financing for approximately 22k USD. brand new in 2012.

my dealership keeps sending me letters claiming that my car is prime for trade in because they have massive interest in cars of mine age, and mileage (60,000km's). So I went in to find out what it would get me into. for $400 (CAD) / month for 4 years, I can trade up into a 2018 Corolla LE! Nevermind THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS PAYING FOR A CAMRY!

these price increases have been absolutely ludicrous in the car market. I can't even imagine what they are right now with all the trade kerfuffles going on . But I can assure that Toyota's current pricing is not going to convince me to get another one. I've priced out some of the competition. For nearly the same price as that LE Corolla, I can get a fully loaded Mazda 3 sport GT with AWD.

i'm approaching 8 years on my Camry and sure feeling the itch to get something new. But i'm a cheap miser and if you want me to spend the money, I need to feel like the value's justified. Toyotas no longer doing that.

Will this work in my 1997 Corolla?

lol.
