Does anyone else find it annoying that the source button is obscuring the channel list? I only use Sirius. Not sure if it is the same layout as regular radio. I’ve tried everything to see about moving or eliminating it. If no solution, I would not be upset if not using car play was an option. As I have never used it before.

I agree. It’s technically not part of CarPlay but rather, how the Radio (AM/FM/XM) is implemented in the Toyota infotainment display. Could be fixed with a future update.
I’d also make the station presets smaller and more like “buttons” for better usability, too.

Since I mostly use CarPlay, I’d also like it if the Radio integrated better into CarPlay UI rather than having to switch away by clicking the 🎵 button to access/change stations every time and then switch back.

I’m not at all impressed with the user interface. We mainly listen to local radio stations and even just that is an asswhip. Definitely should be more like buttons. Scrolling is downright stupid. What I’ve always wondered since now car companies are putting basically a big ass computer/phone in the middle of the dash is, how is this not considered distracted driving at its worst??? Anyhow the screen is a pain in the ass. Just to adjust the bass/treble etc is going into deep settings.
