It sounds like maybe Toyota didn’t want to match what Subaru is doing with the HU. Just another quirk of the twins. Lol Ugh, so it’s the worst of both worlds. A good BU camera is really helpful with the twins, even though rear visibility is decent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yeah that’s one of the areas Toyota really drops the ball sometimes, the infotainment. It would be nice to have Apple CarPlay, but not at the expense of being able to hear it! They get so much right, I like that they usually stick with time tested designs. But technology moves so quickly. Even the HU in my 2016 has all sorts of connection issues. I consider it another “feature” of my car. I’m just glad my phone can even connect to it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Here's a not hot take: The Toyota version will be 100% identical to the Subaru. What we've seen so far is the Subaru-designed BRZ. Headlights, bumpers, infotainment, safety systems, all of it identical. So Toyota isn't taking lead because Subaru wants people to know it is their car they designed, developed, and tuned.

Although there will no doubt be some differences between the two but Toyota just hasn't got around to talking about them yet.

Unless Toyota hates the spring rates Subaru is using and wants the chassis handling tuned differently. |

Neither really have the passion that drove the first gen anymore and it is my guess that they will make enough of the new ones to fulfill the contractual obligations and then just drop the whole thing. If they do go the other way and make the things for mass sales appeal then few here will be interested anyway.
