Toyota Apple CarPlay and Android Auto upgrade

Toyota Apple Carplay

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.

    1. Hi Paul, thanks for your query.

      This vehicle should include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.

      1. I have just bought a Toyota Corolla Excel (2019) and I check there is no Apple car play. So can I
        Upgrade it to use the Apple car play?

      2. Hi there,
        Please provide your vehicle registration so that we can check this for you.
        Thanks.

  1. Does FL20YZC already have Android Auto or does it need to be retrofitted? I see the option to use it in the menus, but nothing happens when my phone is plugged into the USB?

    1. Hi Mark,
      Thanks for your question.
      Your C-HR does not come with Apple CarPlay, and unfortunately it is not compatible to have CarPlay retrofitted either.
      Thanks.

    2. Hi Mark, thanks for your comment.

      This vehicle is not equipped with Apple CarPlay.

      For retrofit options and pricing, we recommend contacting your nearest Toyota centre.

      Thanks.

  4. Hi, I’ve checked using my VIN number and my Corolla appears to be eligible for the upgrade. The dealership told me that the price will be around £120 per year. I was under the impression that it’s a one-off fee for the upgrade. Can you advise please?

    1. Hi Val, thanks for your query.

      If your vehicle is eligible for Apple CarPlay there is a charge of £120 for Corolla. This is a one-off instalment payment.

      Hope this helps.

      Thanks.

  5. Im purchasing a Corolla touring 2019 model (OW19RLZ) is it possible to check if Apple Car Play is already installed?

    Thanks

  6. I have 2019 Corolla which did not have carplay. I had to pay £330, which I reluctantly did.
    I was told I had to pay for 2 years of map updates even though I didn’t need the Toyota maps.

    Please can you help clarify why I had to pay so much more than your advised £150.

    1. Hi Viv, thanks for your comment.

      Your Toyota Centre is best placed to advise on pricing and sales.

      We would recommend contacting the centre you had Apple CarPlay retrofitted for guidance.

      Thanks.
