My 2014 Prius has a interface that looks like it came out of a kids Leapfrog
toy, and updates have been sparse. They just announced that Pandora would no
longer work, but they couldn't figure out some way to remove the button (or
didn't want to pay for it)

The map uses a DVD that's now showing its age, and updates are $160. I could
get a cheap Chinese Android head unit for that price.
