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.

Persistent Issue with Car Player Installation
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a persistent issue I have encountered with my Toyota Corolla with registration number KN19CFH. Despite multiple attempts at different Toyota service centers, I have been unable to have an Apple CarPlay and Android Auto player installed.
The technicians at various service centers have attempted the installation without success. I have not incurred any charges for these attempts, but the issue remains unresolved.
Good afternoon Robert, thanks for your message.
We’re sorry to hear you’re encountering some problems.
The MM19 Apple CarPlay and Android Auto retrofit needs map version 2018.1 or later so it may be worth checking which version your Corolla has.
Thank you.
Hi
Does my 2019 Toyota RAV4 Icon have Apple carplay? If so I can’t get it to work.
My registration is ML69 HLF.

Good afternoon Zafreen,
Thanks for getting in touch. No, your Toyota RAV4 Hybrid does not feature Apple CarPlay and Android Auto but not to worry, it should be compatible for the retro-fit upgrade.
Get in touch with your local Toyota Centre to find out more.
