I have the 14" screen and I've been playing with the "Smart Display Zoom" setting. With it on, the map gets much larger but the icons get tiny. I like the map size, but the small icons are kind of hard for me to easily find while driving. I turned off the display zoom and the icons get much larger. I went back and forth a couple of times this morning. Not sure what I'll end up staying with.

Airplay allows you to use your screen to watch videos broadcast from your phone, but only while the car is in parked.

That feature is capable as of the new iOS 26 update, however, car manufacturer have to update their own software before it can be used. I highly double they're in a rush to do this, and possibly will never.

The Video in park feature has to be enabled via an update by Toyota; I doubt we'll ever see it, despite how easy it is to enable on their part. This restriction was mentioned at WWDC. I already submitted feedback requesting that the feature be added in a future update. I'd recommend everyone here do it too. https://www.toyota.com/support/contact-us/

However, Toyota rarely adds features after a vehicle rolls off the assembly line. We're lucky if we get bug corrections.
