Hollis told Automotive News that CarPlay and Amazon's Alexa voice assistant will be standard on the Avalon and future Toyota vehicles. Android Auto — for smartphones using Google software — will be next.
"Clearly CarPlay, and really any integration of technology, needs to occur in our vehicles," he said. "We start with it today."
Toyota's luxury division, Lexus, confirmed that Alexa would be integrated into its vehicles, but not CarPlay or Android Auto yet.
Hollis said the Apple and Android capability would be retrofitted onto older Toyota models, but that it would take time.
Michael Ramsey, an analyst at the Gartner consultancy, said Toyota's low-key rollout of smartphone integration is likely the result of an internal debate over sharing customer data with the tech giants.
