Unfortunately, Android Auto does not send the info to HUD. Only Apple CarPlay and Lexus Subscription based navigation.

I hope Google and Toyota work on adding that to the this generation infotainment system.

Thanks. I saw an earlier post, where someone indicated the AA displayed the turn-by-turn on his HUD. I have the most current version of AA and it doesn't display on my HUD. You must be right.

I have HUD but hate it and do not use it, however, the AA nav does in fact display on the center cluster which is what where all the other HUD info displays when you have it turned off.

My last 3 cars have had HUD. I wouldn't be without it. If it's good enough for modern jet fighters, it's good enough for me. I got HUD so I wouldn't have to be staring at the instrument cluster. We all have different preferences. That's why we have "options" to custom build our cars (sort of). My last 3 cars have had the panorama roof. I have never opened the shade or the roof glass. Others love the panorama roof.

Having the indicators on the HUD reduces the number of times the car nags:

"Driver Inattention Detected"

The HUD is great because you don't have to look down at the instrument cluster, and it shines nicely (highly legible) even in bright sunlight.

I would probably get more "nags," trying to read that tiny display in the center cluster. It is so small that I had never even noticed it, when I was in AA mode.

I was 20/20 in my right and 20/400 in my left. The HUD display is several times larger & brighter than the instrument cluster.

I don't believe the HUD has anything to do with the Driver Inattention nag. Besides, if a driver isn't paying attention, they should be nagged. Besides, that "nag" can be disabled, in the Settings.
