Apple Car Play
What is the reason for making APPLE car Play available through a USB connection only rather than via bluetooth as well? Not terrible, I’m just not sure I understand the logic.

Great question. My guess would be bandwith. There are only a couple of manufacturers the set it up through Bluetooth. Most are using a USB connection. It could be that USB is just easier to implement, but it also could be that it is more reliable. If Toyota didn’t feel they could build a reliable solution via a wireless, they may have just decided to stick with a cabled method. I probably won’t use it much as I don’t like the clutter of extra cables. My friend with a new Camaro has the same disappointment. Another one of those “first world problems” isn’t it.
