Automakers want you to accept the consensus drone lifestyle. You can have it in any color you want as long as its black.
I'd lose too many features that the automaker thought was necessary for headunit annoyances. I want the radio to be a radio. I don't want to make vehicle adjustments or log data or change hvac or mpg or whatever. Problem is, automakers created the foolishness and you will accept it, or the lashings begin.
For now, I have been shopping for a dsp or dspamp, that'll take other inputs. This way, if I use the radio, all will be consensus boring. If I keep the radio off, I can stream the cellphone into the dsp or use any mp3/flac music player.
On my previous car from 2019, not a Toyota, I was able to fit a headunit. But, I had to plug the factory headunit into the harness to reset the daily savings time twice a year. Nothing like having to make a y-harness and extension. Its getting more difficult now to deal with GeorgeOrwells 1984.
I was able to kill this useless bloated pig and remove the app from the cellphone..

Removing the headunit is now a blackmarket enterprise. The MIB are watching you thru their sunglasses.
