See the blog post, the GPLv2 goes further than what you suggest.

So if my Toyota head unit has FOSS they can provide that source code to me if I ask?

For the parts covered under GPL, yes, which includes the kernel (if it uses Linux).

If they're covered under a more permissive license (e.g. Apache, MIT) you're out of luck as these don't require redistribution of derivative work source code, only attribution.
