Gah i have buyers remorse now [emoji23]

They better give us a retrofit for CarPlay and AA soon! 

[Darcus]

I certainly hope we can retrofit some of these things to our cars.

I've only had mine for a month. Great car, but absolutely rubbish 'entertainment system'.

Android auto retrofit would be a godsend. Even the power tailgate would be useful.

Let's see!

Me too 😂 I’ve not even taken delivery of mine yet!  To be honest, though, I only really want the upgraded infotainment with Apple Car Play, I can live without the HUD, and full leather (for me anyway) gets a bit sweaty 😊. So fingers crossed the software can be upgraded.

As far as I'm aware, items like the power tailgate fitted after delivery won't be covered by the 5 year new car warranty - probably just the 1 year parts warranty.

I think i would have loved to have had HUD and blind spot monitoring as well as working apple/google integration 🙂

Maybe all these things will be available when i refresh my car in a couple of years!

That seems a bit harsh. It's one of the better ones I've seen. What are you trying to do that it doesn't support?

Darius has not visited this site since 22nd Sept, having only made the one comment. Seems like another that that breezes onto the forum and leaves just as quick.

Had a quick look this morning at the MY20 spcs. Android Auto and Apple Carplay are of course included, and for the Excel leather seats, possibly remote boot opening (not clear), seemingly no more panoramic roof option, and prices up substantially - around £2-3k across the range. That's more than 10% at the lower spec end.

ETA: Oops, now I see the Excel with Pan Roof (I'm blaming the website design 😁).  No Bi-Tone paint though. I have seen one black/red in the flesh, and although it looks good in the publicity, in daylight it was less good.

The dropping of the 1.2T, which cost less than the hybrid, will have an effect on list prices.

Hi Guys,

Just to give a data point - ordered 1.8 Touring Sports Icon Tech on 4th August - told delivery November.

Email from dealer today saying delivery put back to January, but will be MY20 with carplay/android auto. He told no other changes to the spec at the Icon Tech grade.

[bruce e]

Snap 

Mine was due mid November, just had a call from the dealer saying now 2 January but will be the new spec with no price hike.

Looks like all deliveries due Nov have been put back.

Now to check exactly whats new in the MY20!

The only listed change between a MY19 & MY20 Icon Tech is the addition of the MM19 Audio system which Adds Apple carplay, Android Auto & Over the air updates.

Thanks for that!

I have given this a lot of thought trying to understand, think of some reason for this additional delay. How does the introduction of MY20 justify a further two months delay? It makes no sense!

I placed my order on August 1, 2019 for an anticipated October delivery which slipped to November, that I could live with but now to January 2020, five months, with I'm afraid little faith that this date will not slip again!

No explanation has been forthcoming other than we are in the hands of Toyota, I hasten to add that I do not seek to criticise the dealership at all. I have been a loyal Toyota customer for over 20 years but to be honest I am seriously thinking of cancelling my order, enough is enough!

If a plausible explanation for this further delay were to be made then just maybe??!!

Current order rate is outpacing supply, so much so that any order that cannot fulfilled with a stock car goes into a que and allocated a production slot as soon as possible these are called NCO non covered orders, according to the latest bulletin from Toyota the final phase of MY19 production is allocated so any outstanding NCO will be switched over to MY20 production .

The factory is now finishing MY19 orders and Starting MY20 Production with initial MY20 deliveries starting on 1st December for Icon/Icon Tech/Design and Excel models and 1st January for the new GR & Trek models
