2017 Toyota 86 PT546-00170 Head Unit Hack?

Hey guys, ive done quite a bit of searching but have not found anything yet. Is this model, or any models of head units hackable/rootable so we can flash our own apps and what not?


I would really like to be able to use Spotify or Google Maps on the head unit without having to upgrade to a whole new head unit. I have hacked/rooted other things in the past, but cannot find anything on these headunits regarding.


Any help or point in the right direction would be great!

tap the reverse/camera input and mirror your phone.

Jk, please don't.

As far as hacking or rooting....the system on these 16/17 + head units is so old and don't run on anything worthwhile.
Probably easier to get a new Head Unit or even put a tablet in your dash.

Good to know Ill probably be looking into a newer unit then. Im hoping there is a decent Kenwood option because I would like to eventually run Maestro so I have addition information to display.
