A couple of questions about the implementation of Android Auto on the 2020's. I'm looking at getting into an XLE Hybrid with all options (Weather, Convenience, and Audio Plus) and was wondering if the Android Auto works the same on the RAV4 as it does on our 2018 Tiguan. Actually, I imagine it must be largely similar on most vehicles at this price point, but wanted to check.
I stream Spotify and TuneIn radio constantly in the car, but I really don't like the extra step of plugging and unplugging the phone every time I get in and out. So, I'm going to assume that in the RAV4 I'll still be hollering (or speaking politely) directly at my phone to ask either Google Assistant or Alexa to find a song, artist or station over bluetooth, rather than somehow using the voice command on the car.
Also, I'm a bit curious about the navigation. I'd ideally like to use Google Assistant/Maps during longer trips, but wondered about the stock "Dynamic Navigation" on the Limited (which I will likely be missing out on since I'm pretty stuck on getting the XLE, and it's only on the higher trims afaik). I know the stock Scout nav has boosters and detracters, but how do people feel about the ease of use of Google vs the built-in systems?
Lastly, how is texting/calling for people on the Entune 3.0 system?
