    Prius or not, it kind of makes me angry that if you look at the Android Auto website, Toyota isn't listed.

    With the crappiness level of the Nav, I'd love to see this coming soon.

    Ah, same thread. I guess my searching didn't work well enough for me. Thanks!

    Too bad, I guess I'll just design a mount (3D printer FTW) for my Android (Nexus 5 right now) that makes it more convenient to use.

    I have my Nexus 7 mounted in the gap between the console and dash of my v. It uses the lower cup holder. It runs Torque and Triplog, providing more gauges and a log of all my time and mileage.

    Love it! I feel like on my 2012 PiP, the forward cup holder would be too close for me. And I like a good SolidWorks project.
