Toyota is pleased to announce that owners of Corolla and RAV4 models produced since *2019 now have the possibility of an upgrade to their Toyota Touch 2 multimedia system to include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto mobile integration.
Compatible vehicles for Apple CarPlay upgrade:
- MY19 Corolla in all body styles and grades
- MY19 and MY20 RAV4 all grades excluding Icon
This multimedia upgrade allows owners to access the services included in their mobile phone on the multimedia display screen and action them through voice activation or by manually prompting through the steering wheel controls or touchscreen itself. In this way they will be able to safely enjoy applications such as Google Maps, Spotify, Amazon Music, WhatsApp and Waze without the need to directly interact with their mobile phone.
The Apple CarPlay and Android Auto upgrade for compatible vehicles will be carried out by appointment at your local Toyota centre. Toyota recommends that owners arrange to have the upgrade installed during a scheduled service.
Please contact your centre for more information and to confirm compatibility.
* Depending on vehicle and specification, Toyota has installed its enhanced multimedia system as standard equipment since the 2020 model year. This means that vehicles with this system always feature Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality.
My local toyota dealer have advised that my Rav 4 DY19 NVW is not compatible with the upgrade can you advise if this is the case?
Hi Steve,
As your RAV4 is a Model Year 2019 and isn’t the Icon Grade, it should be compatible for the upgrade.
Thanks.
They need to add this to CHR 2018
Hello, can you confirm if 19 plate CHRs are compatible with this upgrade or if an upgrade will be made available?

Hi Brian,
Unfortunately, this vehicle is not eligible for the upgrade.
Thanks.
Hi,
My Corolla HB comes up as eligible here: https://www.toyota.co.uk/apple-carplay-android-auto-upgrade
However, my local dealer has no idea about this upgrade and instead updated the DAB radio database, twice.
They insist that as an Icon grade, I am not eligible due to the lack of navigation onboard.
On top of this, I insisted a little and they agreed to a warranty replacement of the headunit under the premise of “Bluetooth not working” even though it is.
The new headunit is exactly the same as the old (most likely stock MY19) and didn’t include the Carplay features.
Is there any document or internal reference I can show them/refer them to?
