Any updates on this?

This may be an option:

BimmerTech MMI Prime Retrofit Kit

• Adds wired and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
• Installed behind the infotainment panel.
• Includes a USB port (usually in the glovebox) and a wireless antenna.
• Cost: Around $800 USD.
• Installation centers available globally via BimmerTech’s installer network. [So I insta...2021 supra]

I have not tried it yet, but Android Auto is supposedly standard via wired USB connection in 2021.5 and newer Supras.

But for those with older Supras, this may be an option:

AA isn't available on any Supra year unless something changed I'm unaware of.

Upon further investigation, it was the Camry and RAV4 that received wired Android Auto in the early 2020s. They then received wireless in 2023. Some or most models of BMWs came with wireless as early as 2019.

From what I understand, iDrive 6 that we have in our Supras does not support Android Auto natively, and never will.

Imagine if people took 1 minute to do a google search before posting things...

Can't google but AI is their new bible

This took me 3 seconds to type into ChatGPT... "does the 2020-2026 Toyota Supra support wired Android Auto"

ChatGPT
The 2020-2026 Toyota Supra does not support wired Android Auto from the factory.

The real issue here is people are lazy AF and don't fact check.

> wired
> from the factory

I came across a new product during my research that might interest some of you. It’s called the BMW MMB CarPlay AI Box. From what I’ve gathered, it works by using the existing CarPlay feature in our cars and essentially tricks it into enabling Android Auto. Supposedly, it’s compatible with iDrive 6, which is what our Supras run on.
I’m a bit hesitant to test it myself since I’m currently using the BimmerTech MMI Prime, and I’m not sure how reliable this new device will be. Still, I thought I’d share in case anyone else is curious or willing to take the risk and try it out.

This doesn't enable android auto at all. It gives you an android interface on your screen using wireless carplay and needs either a SIM or hotspot for data.

Picture streaming a mid-tier android tablet but accessing it via wireless carplay on a tiny device with terrible thermal management. not great reviews. Again, it's just not Android Auto.

Unrelated, I just hit ~1 year on my Andream MMI for NBT EVO using wireless android auto and it's been working great, and the lack of touchscreen is not a hindrance in my day to day usage.

I recently updated to Android 16 on my Pixel 9 Pro and I'm now seemingly having issues with my Roadtop box. Anyone else experiencing this?

Xtrons 14.9" for F3x does NOT work.

No bolt holes align with the Supra display backplate/mount, and the ports on the unit do not point in the correct direction to allow for mounting. We must make sure that the LVDS port points towards the windshield.

Onwards to other solutions. The search continues.
