  3. Dear Sir/Madam,

    I am writing to bring to your attention an issue I have been experiencing with my vehicle’s upgraded car system, specifically the Apple CarPlay functionality. I had previously paid my Toyota dealer to perform the upgrade, and while the system has generally been functioning properly, there is a recurring problem that arises whenever I receive a phone call while utilizing Apple CarPlay for navigation.

    Within two minutes of answering the call, the display becomes increasingly blurry and distorted, exhibiting random colours. Despite changing both my phone and connection cable a few months ago, the problem persists, preventing me from using my phone for calls and navigation simultaneously.

    As my upcoming service appointment approaches, I took the opportunity to report this issue to the Toyota dealer. However, to my surprise, they informed me that a diagnostic fee of £150 would be required to investigate the problem with Apple CarPlay.

    I must admit that I find it slightly disheartening to be charged for diagnosing a problem related to the Apple CarPlay upgrade that I had already paid the dealer to perform last year. Considering that the issue might be attributable to a fault in the display system, I would assume it falls under warranty coverage.

    I kindly request your assistance in resolving this matter, as I struggle to comprehend why I should incur additional charges for rectifying work that the dealer may have executed incorrectly. I appreciate your attention to this issue and look forward to a favourable resolution.

  4. I have a Toyota RAV 2019.

    Android Auto is not connecting to my samsung phone with my cable. Is it not compatible?

    1. Hi Adam,
      Thanks for your comment.

      Thanks.
