Help me fix/replace the Infotainment system in my 3rd Generation 2022 Tundra!

I own a 2022 Toyota Tundra SR5 with 8-in Audio Multimedia, with wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto capability.

The nav/multimedia unit is terrible. I had a 2018 Tacoma, and four years later, I found that the infotainment system had taken several steps backward.

• Voice commands always say, “I don’t understand your request.”
• Playing music via the in-dash USB port is terribly complicated and limited
• There is no home screen where I can choose the info displayed.

I am looking for an aftermarket replacement that supports all the OEM capabilities, like cameras, backup lines, system config, etc., while providing a richer user interface and better features, like

• An actual home screen where I can choose the display from multiple sources of info, like weather, time, nav, audio, etc.
• Voice commands that actually work
• To access music sources other than XM radio, like the in-dash data USB port, by voice command.
• Use Google Maps or Waze without Android Auto
• And so on

It’s been a while; somebody must’ve found something by now.

If not, how do I use the existing system in a way that doesn’t suck??

 

Are you using the Google/Apple voice commands or the Toyota ones?

 

I'm using the Toyota commands. They worked fine in my 2018 Tacoma. I'm trying to avoid using Android Auto; I can't seem to get it working right. Plus I shouldn't need one multimedia device to be able to use the other.

 

There are some command in the multimedia manual around page 40, but I have found using "destination" for the navigation system work every time. E.g. "destination walmart" or "destination city state"
