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??

 

have you found a solution??? i really dislike the 23 tundra stereo. i wish it was the same as the 2020 Tacoma we were leasing. ive emailed i data link and they couldn't give me an answer other than we don't know if or when we will release an interface module. all i do know is i used the speaker connector is the same as the tacoma. after a some reasearch on Amazon and a bit of comparing connectors on taco tunes i was able to add an amp and sub they do have tundra specific parts but i only used them for parts i couldnt find on amazon for a lot cheaper

 

I miss the infotainment in my 2018 Tacoma; it really sucks when companies go backward with features/technology. Also not a fan that so many features that used to come with the truck are now paid subscriptions. And then there are the recalls. Sorry, I got off-subject. lol

I still occasionally look for alternatives, but I have found none besides using Android Auto. I even spoke with factory reps from overseas factories at CES, and some said it is coming, but nothing solid.
