    1. Hi Rafat,
      Thanks for your question.
      Unfortunately, as this vehicle is not a MY19 or MY20 RAV4, it is not compatible with the Apple CarPlay upgrade.
      Thanks.

      1. How come not all Toyota Touch 2 multimedia systems with touch screen and bluetooth are compatible?
        It is possible to use the service via bluetooth and all you need to control it is voice command or touch screen. Should I not be able to just install a later version of TT2?

      2. Hi Adam,

        Not all vehicles are compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto due to hardware and software compatibility, however we will check your specific vehicle.

  2. Hello,

    I have a 2019 Rav4 that was a Japanese import. It has a port/location for where you would connect a USB so the you could use CarPlay, but I am guessing the original owner didn’t opt for it (it has a cover that won’t open). Is it still possible to have it installed?
