Heads-Up Display (HUD) on 2024 Tacoma - Like/Dislike?

[TacoFreak]

My last truck had several displays that you could not read with polarized glasses. I have one pair for out on the water where glare is a problem but my others are not polarized for just that reason.

I noticed a feature in google maps the other day when it identified the location of a speed trap as i approached.
Then later i reported the location of a speed trap. Theres a button on the right side of the screen to report traffic problems - speed trap is one of them

Edit - looks like apple maps does too. Might be time for me to switch

This is from Google swallowing up Waze- they brought this feature up from waze, where it was kind of the whole point, and have been slowly integrating it into google.

I like the HUD on my PRO but whish it had more view options like my Gen 5 Camaro had.

Can someone tell me what it took to get the turn by turn to display on the HUD and instrument center?

Specially, I'm trying to use it with Android Auto and Google Maps (in case we enter the land of corner cases).

My phone is paired and in a Toyota profile that gets recognized when I get it (paired to physical fob, not digital key). I have the HUD set to "full information" with "driver support" turned on. I have my instrument settings for center cluster being "driver support". I have NOT activated Toyota Connected Services yet. The connection to the truck is wireless.

Anyone else having an issue?
Anyone successful that can share their full setup?
Did you have to enable Connected Services first?

I get HUD nav prompts in my truck when using Apple maps on my iPhone. I still haven't sorted out the various settings and I haven't changed anything. I haven't tried it with Google maps, because lately I have found Apple maps to be more accurate.

Now if I could figure out how to keep my bluetooth phone connection stable I would be set.

Interesting. I never tried it with Apple Maps, I don't like the cartoonish graphics. Google maps definitely doesn't work.

Yeah, the graphics are strange, but the navigation is excellent. I used Google maps for years, but it has misdirected me too many times and I switched to Apple maps, which has improved a lot over time.

Thank you so much! I have a simple aftermarket speed HUD in my current daily driver, and after seeing the HUD in a GMC Canyon I was blown away at how advanced they'd become.

I don't think I can ever go without one again either.

Luckily I already have non-polarized sunglasses for work.

I really appreciate the photos, it's put me at ease quite a bit!

was your navigation the Toyota subscription? or Android Auto? or Apply CarPlay?

I played around further in my menus today (Toyota subscription still disabled/not activated). HUD on "full". Using wireless Android Auto with Google Maps.

if I cycle one of the two dial centers to "navigation" I can see my Google Map next turn within the instrument cluster. But it still does not appear on the HUD.

I don't have my truck yet, should be arriving this week.

I test drove a Limited, but it didn't display any directions on the HUD during the drive. Myself and the salesman couldn't figure it out, we figured since the main display wasn't activated yet.

Go into Options -> HUD
You'll find a setting there to enable it
