Default Start up screen - experience drive connect

Is there anyway to change the default blue screen (“experience drive connect”) so it boots up directly to the radio screen or CarPlay?

I’m not subscribed to the map service so I think that’s why I see that screen at boot up.

This is another one of those total usability fails on Lexus/Toyota's part.
A simple menu with some sensible options would be great.

e.g.
Default Startup Screen:
* Built-in Navigation
* Built-in Audio/Music/Radio
[x] Auto-switch to CarPlay or Android Auto when a known device connects.

The last one is one that I really want. Sometimes it auto switches, sometimes it doesn't. It's very annoying having to manually switch it every time I start my car.

I think the latest infotainment update addresses that.

Does this hold true when switching drivers on a shared vehicle say between a husband and wife?

I ask because I have the larger screen and still running on the 3 year complimentary service.

I know nag screen would bug the crap outta me.
